NASCAR SPRINT CUP SERIES

TEAM CHEVY PRACTICE NOTES AND QUOTES
MARCH 13, 2015

KURT BUSCH, NO. 41 HAAS AUTOMATION CHEVROLET SS, met with members of the media following the first practice session and discussed how it felt to be back in the car.

ON THE FIRST PRACTICE SESSION:
“It was good just to get back in the seat and shake hands with all the guys.  Having the support of Stewart-Haas it’s been, like family.  Then to see the other crew members that I know and some that I don’t know who shake my hand and say ‘welcome back’.  It feels good.  For me to just get some laps in today, in race trim the car seems fast. Q-trim, it’s a different game this year.  That is why we are p.17.  I have to learn the car and the feel, because it looks like the lap times are so tight.  You mess up just a little bit that Haas Automation Chevy is p.17.”

YOU WERE FAST RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE DID YOU FEEL GOOD IN THERE?
“Yeah, everything feels good.  The seat, the belts and just the love from the crew guys, it’s been pretty cool the way the garage feels like a fraternity.  It’s nice to see good friends.”

WHEN YOU ARE STRAPPING ON YOUR GLOVES AND GETTING READY TO GO OUT FINALLY WHAT KIND OF FEELING WAS THAT?
“That feeling was home.”

WERE YOU CONCERNED AT ALL ABOUT PERCEPTION IN THE GARAGE?
“We are here to race, that is all we are here to do.”
