ERIK JONES, No. 20 Craftsman Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - Qualifying Position: 6th - Talk about your qualifying effort today. “It was alright.

It is crazy how you can dissect every aspect of such a simple thing, a race car going through the corner and on a 1.5 mile track going really fast. I am fortunate enough to have three good teammates and I can look at their throttle trace, steering trace, brake trace and get a good idea of what I need to do different or what I need to do different with the setup to enable me to do that.
CHRISTOPHER BELL, No. 20 Rheem Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - How do you feel about your chances with a number of 1.5-mile tracks coming up on the schedule? “For myself, I love 1.5-mile (tracks). It’s my favorite style of racing and my favorite race tracks too. I’m excited about it.”
