Official Release

JOEY LOGANO, No. 22 AAA Ford Fusion – QUALIFIED 2nd “That is really frustrating. Last week we missed it by eight thousandths and this week by six thousandths. Second stings the most. That is okay. Our team is tough and we showed speed in qualifying the last couple weeks. I think this AAA Fusion has a lot of speed in race trim too. I am excited. It is a fun track to race and is really racey as well. We are starting toward the front and this is a 500-mile race so I am looking forward to it.”

AUSTIN DILLON, NO. 3 REALTREE/BAD BOY CHEVROLET SS – POLE WINNER - GREAT JOB TO WIN THE POLE: "Man, that's huge! Great job by everybody on our Bad Boy Realtreee Chevy and everybody at Dow for supporting us and getting us this far, it is our second pole of the year, and I can't be happier for RCR and everybody back at the shop."

KYLE BUSCH, No. 18 M&M’s Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - What happened in practice today? “Unfortunate there with our practice crash that we had, kind of puts us a little bit more behind the eight ball than we’d like to be. Hate that happened for my guys and all the work they’ve already put into my primary and now having to switch to a backup car is not how we wanted to start off practice."

CARL EDWARDS, No. 19 Sport Clips Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - Do you feel good about your chances this weekend at Texas Motor Speedway? “Yeah, we’ve got a really fast race car."

Joe Gibbs Racing driver Matt Kenseth was made available to the media at Texas Motor Speedway: MATT KENSETH, No. 20 DeWALT FLEXVOLT Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - Are you looking forward to this weekend’s events at Texas? “I’d say recent history we haven’t run great here, but Kyle (Busch) won in the Spring and we ran fourth or fifth and had something happen on a pit stop or something and ended up a little bit farther towards the back."
