KYLE LARSON, NO. 42 CREDIT ONE BANK CAMARO ZL1 – Finished 2nd - I KNOW YOU MIGHT BE UPSET, BUT YOU SAID IT WAS FUN: “Oh man, I’m not upset.

PAUL MENARD, No. 21 Menards/Sylvania Ford Fusion -- Qualified 1st - “My guys did a hell of a job today. We weren’t very good in practice. We did a mock run that was so loose that we had to abort it and never really got a true mock run. We had speed and all through those rounds we got a little too loose in round two and we adjusted for it. Round three drove like rails. It was good.”
