JOEY LOGANO, No. 22 Shell Pennzoil Ford Fusion – Finished 3rd “That was hard fought. I am still breathing hard. We just weren’t very good on the short runs so I had to play defense instead of offense on restarts. After 15 laps we were equal to, not way better to the point we could make up a bunch of time."

After 16 straight weeks of racing, NASCAR XFINITY Series (NXS) driver Ray Black Jr. finished off the long stretch of events with his ninth Top-20 finish of the season after placing 19th in the Kansas Lottery 300 on Saturday afternoon.

ALEX BOWMAN, NO. 88 NATIONWIDE CHEVROLET SS – Qualified 5th - ON QUALIFYING: “I’ve been really pleased with the car all day. The first round was a little bit nerve racking we were really loose kind of out of nowhere."
