MATT KENSETH, No. 20 DEWALT / Flexvolt Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - Talk about the Bristol night race and what makes it special. “I mean I think as a fan before I started racing here on Saturday nights and even when I was running the XFINITY Series, you always look forward to watching this race on TV. It seemed like there was a lot of great of great dramatic events that happened through the years at the night race. It was neat once we got to start running. It always feels like one of the biggest races of the year. It’s always an exciting atmosphere and an action packed race, so it’s fun to watch and fun to be a part of.”

CHASE ELLIOTT, NO. 24 NAPA CHEVROLET SS, met with members of the media and discussed how comfortable he is with his current points position, the pressure of racing at one of the best teams in the business and not yet having a win, working with teammates and many other topics.

MATT TIFFT, No. 19 MSC Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - You had a career-best at Mid-Ohio last weekend, how has that built momentum for you? “Yeah I mean it was obviously a huge confidence booster for our team. We needed that momentum on our side. I’m excited getting back to Bristol like you said, it’s a totally different place than we had at Mid-Ohio last week, but I think the good things was at the end of the race in the spring I felt like we finally hit on some things with our car that got me pretty happy with where we were at. It just kind of took a while to get there, but luckily we got the notes of that and going off of some of the 20 (Erik Jones) when he was able to win here in the spring, so hopefully we can pull that all together and go get ourselves a really good run too.”
