VICTORY LANE INTERVIEW: “We have definitely had three good race cars with the Xfinity Car and the Cup car and we had a good race car at Daytona as well and got caught up in a wreck. As you look at the last two weeks and our 1.5-mile program in general it has been really good since I started here at SHR. They put a lot of effort into everything we do from every standpoint to get these cars going like they are. I have to thank everyone from Stewart-Haas Racing, Gene and Tony, it is fun to have them here when we win. Everybody who helps put this thing on the race track, we couldn’t do it without them. And the fans for coming out to the racetrack today. We really appreciate you all coming out. It is always fun for me to win on the west coast and I didn’t have a lot of luck here until I came to SHR. It is great to win on the west coast for me.”

KYLE LARSON, NO. 42 CREDIT ONE BANK CAMARO ZL1 – FINISHED 3RD: A GOOD EFFORT FOR YOU, BUT IS THERE ONE PLACE IN PARTICULAR YOU FEEL LIKE YOU GUYS COULD HAVE BEEN A LITTLE BIT BETTER TO CATCH THAT FORD? “I don’t know about catching the Ford (Kevin Harvick, race winner). He was quite a bit faster than everybody. But I felt like for the most of the day we were second or third best. I had to fight pretty hard there after a few bad pit stops. But, it’s nice that we have really fast race cars. If we can just clean up everything, I think we’ll be a contender for more wins. We’re not too far off from a win, I don’t think. We’ve just got to keep working hard and keep fighting to get our Credit One Bank Chevy into Victory Lane.”
