Austin Dillon and Richard Childress Racing's No. 3 Dow Chevrolet Team Earn Hard-Fought 11th-Place Finish at Kansas Speedway "I'll be honest. I didn't feel like we had a very good Dow Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 all weekend, so I am proud of this team and our 11th-place finish at Kansas Speedway today."
RYAN BLANEY, No. 12 Menards/Wrangler Riggs Workwear Ford Fusion - YOU HIT THE WALL EARLY, HOW MUCH DID THAT IMPACT YOUR DAY? “Obviously it was a mistake I made trying to work hard to catch those guys and I pushed too hard and got in the fence. It is all my fault. Whether it would have worked out for us or not, I don't know. I don't think we had the speed the 9 or 4 had. The 9 was super fast. I don't know. I messed up and cost us a shot. I want to thank Wrangler and Menards and Ford for doing what they do. The whole 12 team deserves better than that. That was unfortunate on my part.”

COLE CUSTER, No. 00 Haas Automation Ford Mustang (Finished 26th) - YOU GOT MAJOR DAMAGE ON LAP ONE AND SOMEHOW WERE ABLE TO PILOT THIS THING THROUGH THE WHOLE RACE: “Yeah, I have no idea what happened. It seemed like I kind of got loose before everyone started wrecking. I don't know if something was wrong with the track or something. We all wrecked on lap one and that kind of sunk our boat. We fixed the car and muscled it out but it is what it is. We will have to go try to win at Texas and Phoenix.”
RYAN BLANEY, No. 12 Menards/Wrangler Riggs Workwear Ford Fusion - Qualified 4th “I feel pretty good about that. I felt like we made a really good change there for the last round. It felt a lot faster than that actually, I can’t believe it wasn’t faster. I am kind of puzzled. It was a good effort. We had speed all day and we will start second row, not a bad place for what we need to do. Hopefully we can have a good day on Sunday.”
JOEY LOGANO, No. 22 Shell Pennzoil Ford Fusion - TELL US ABOUT STARTING UP FRONT HERE ON SUNDAY: “Yeah, obviously it was a great lap. The car was great from when we unloaded. I was laughing when we came in saying we made good adjustments today and it was a joke because we didn’t change anything from when we unloaded. We were pretty good the first lap on the race track."
