JOEY LOGANO, No. 22 Shell/Pennzoil Ford Fusion - Finishing Position: 6th “At the start of the race we may have made some bad changes over the snow break and weren’t really good compared to where we were in practice. The team made some good adjustments and got to the end there and were probably a third-place car, but it was too little, too late to get back up there. I drove back up to sixth."

KYLE BUSCH, No. 18 M&M’s Caramel Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - Talk about the importance of starting on the front row and how it helps out in getting that win. “This place (Martinsville Speedway) is a tough challenging little short track, so everybody talks about the brakes and just being able to save your equipment for much of the day and being able to start up front will help do some of that."

MARTIN TRUEX JR., No. 78 5-hour ENERGY/Bass Pro Shops Toyota Camry, Furniture Row Racing - Can you talk about the importance of starting up front and getting the first pit stall? “Absolutely, Martinsville it’s definitely a big advantage to start out front. First pit box obviously, everyone knows it’s a big deal here and that’s where you want to be so you get that clean stall in and out and not get torn up on pit road. Happy about that and happy about the 5-hour/Bass Pro Camry and the guys put a heck of a setup in there for round three of qualifying. I saw a few of you look at me like, ‘hey, what did I miss?”

DENNY HAMLIN, No. 11 FedEx Ground Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - What are your feelings about the Chase Elliott situation coming back for the first time since October? “I think I kind of touched on it really right after the race with the tweet I sent out. It was a mistake on my part and I moved on from it – we both have. We’ve raced each quite a bit during the course of this year and been fine.”
