DENNY HAMLIN, No. 11 FedEx Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - Matt Kenseth leaving, what's going to be missed without him as a teammate? "When Matt (Kenseth) came over, obviously it was a great addition to our team at the time. The 20 car had been struggling, and he gave it some solidarity. It performed well, and really the information is ‑‑ the comparatives that he had from Roush (Fenway Racing) over to Joe Gibbs Racing and how the cars drove gave us some good input about where we should take our cars in the future."

RICKY STENHOUSE JR. – No. 17 Ford Fusion – “That was not what I had planned. It’s been a while since I crashed one of those cars, which kind of reminded me that I don’t really want to crash them.”

BEN RHODES, No. 41 Ford F-150 - CAN YOU UPDATE US ON YOUR SPONSOR SITUATION? “Yeah, we haven’t been ready to announce yet. It will be in a little bit. Not sure when the exact date will be but it will be soon. It is all coming through Duke and Rhonda Thorson and everyone at ThorSport. We have a whole team working on it which is cool because this is my third year back at ThorSport but we have continuity."
