PAUL MENARD, No. 21 Ford Fusion – HAVE YOU LOOKED AT THE LIST OF DRIVERS THAT HAVE DRIVEN THE 21? “Yeah, it is long. It hit me pretty hard probably three weeks ago when Eddie and Len were on this group text thing and they sent me a picture of the show car they had just finished with my name above the door. That was like, ‘Okay, it is happening.’ It was really cool. I am really looking forward to running the 21 car, and to start at Daytona of all places. Just super excited and can’t wait to get on the track in that car. It is a long list of names, names that are historic and a huge part of the sport. It is really special.”

DANIEL SUÁREZ, No. 19 ARRIS Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - How do you feel your rookie season went? "We have done some homework, and even if we keep the consistency that we have the last couple months of racing, I feel like we're pretty competitive to make it. But that's not the plan. We want to be able to win races and to be competitive in the top 5."

CHRISTOPHER BELL, No. 20 Rheem Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - How do you feel about people’s expectations for you? "Well, that's cool that people believe in me that much. That is really cool. But I've got a year of XFINITY ahead of me, and I'm going to focus part on making the Final Four at Homestead. If we can win races, compete for wins every week and make the Final Four at Homestead, that's a win for us."

RYAN BLANEY, No. 12 Ford Fusion – HOW IS THE TRANSITION GOING? “Good. We have a lot of the same people as we did last year. There are really only a handful of people that are new. The people that are coming on have known everybody on the team a long time, they have worked together at another point. It will be seamless, which is what you want. I am excited for the transition and it should be pretty simple.”

I am going to make my 400th start at Atlanta Motor Speedway, my hometown track, so I couldn’t have scripted that any better."
