JEFFREY EARNHARDT, No. 32 Can-Am Ford Fusion – IT MUST BE A RELIEF TO BE LOCKED INTO THE RACE SUNDAY. “Yeah, definitely. Not having to worry about qualifying in every weekend for this whole year is a huge stress reliever. That is tough when you know you aren’t locked in on race weekends."
DANICA PATRICK: -- more confident I could get a top-10 finish at Atlanta than I feel confident that I could get a top-10 finish at Daytona just because it's such a crapshoot. You have to have so much luck on your side. You have to avoid the accidents, be at the right place at the right time, have smooth pit stops, make good decisions on the track. There's just a lot that you can't count on.
DARRELL WALLACE JR., No. 6 Selfio Ford Mustang – WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IS YOUR BIGGEST CHALLENGE THIS SEASON? “Our biggest challenge I think is tough. On the competition side the JGR cars will be fast. Those guys have speed but I think we have made a lot of improvements over at Roush through the off season and we are still continuing to do that. I think for us, it is just getting on a consistent roll. We didn’t have that last year. We definitely learned a lot and were putting people and ideas in certain spots that we need to focus on to have that breakout year. I think this is our year to really get people to look and jump on board and be a part of our program. I think we have to make sure we are not missing any key elements of that.”
CHASE ELLIOTT: It's definitely been busy I guess the past couple days, with everything on Sunday happening like it did, which is great. It was a good way to start things off for our entire team and for NAPA, their first year back in Cup, kind of, other than the five races we ran last year.
