KEVIN HARVICK, No. 4 Mobil 1 Ford Mustang – “You just can’t qualify these cars this way. I love group qualifying, but I just laughed all the way out to the race track.”
JIMMIE JOHNSON, NO. 48 ALLY CAMARO ZL1- Pole Winner
GREAT WAY TO SHOW SOME RESULTS OF YOUR EFFORTS TO COME BACK: "It's been a long couple of years, and we still have a ways to go. And, certainly race daquy is much more important than Friday, but we've been working so hard, and I think we are a bit guilty of trying too hard and maybe stepping outside of our comfort zone at times, and putting setups on the car at times that just aren't proven yet. With all that said, we were very aggressive coming here and changing a lot of stuff on our mile-and-a-half program. Top of the chart all day long, and a great start for this Ally tean. I'm really proud of everybody for keeping the faith and working hard."
DENNY HAMLIN, No. 11 FedEx Office Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - Qualifying Position: 6th

DAVID RAGAN, No. 38 MDS Transport Ford Mustang – WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT TEXAS? “The track is a unique mile-and-a-half track. When you get here both corners are different and I give kudos to Eddie Gossage and all the guys out here for being a little bold when they re-did the track. It would have been easy to just repave it and keep both corners the same, but the arch that you get into turn one and the lack of banking in turn one is very unique for any mile-and-a-half."
BRAD KESELOWSKI, No. 2 Miller Lite Ford Mustang – IS THERE A NEW ELEMENT THIS YEAR THAT HAS ALLOWED THE TEAM TO BE SO SUCCESSFUL COMPARED TO PREVIOUS YEARS? TEAM PENSKE HAS BEEN GOOD FOR A LONG TIME. “I think it takes a lot to win at this level and a lot of things have to come together is maybe more accurately said."
