JOEY LOGANO, No. 22 Shell Pennzoil Ford Fusion – TELL US ABOUT THAT TRACK RECORD QUALIFYING EFFORT OUT THERE TODAY. “It wasn’t bad. Good enough to get the pole, so that’s good. I felt like it was going to take a teen or 20 to get the pole and we ran a 30 so I wasn’t very confident about it after it but I’ve had a really good Shell Pennzoil Ford since we unloaded today. Having clean air here is huge so we will be able to start with that and try to have the right strategy and get our car good for tomorrow and getting it to where we can pass cars and see what happens from there.”
MARK MARTIN, No. 55 Aaron's Dream Machine Toyota Camry, Michael Waltrip Racing - Starting Position: 4th - How was your qualifying lap? "It's exciting. I'm so fired up and wired up -- it's like crazy. I guess you would say that's exhilarating. That's not the pole, but it sure is fast. I'm really proud because we were okay in practice, but we weren't a pole contender at all and I think there was more in the car there. They found something very last minute, right before it went through tech and made some adjustments on the car. I drove it kind of like I did in practice, which is a little bit hard. I could have drove it a little bit harder than that. Kudos to Rodney Childers (crew chief) and everybody on that Aaron's team. Man, it's fun to drive race cars like that."
For the 13th time this season, drivers in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series set a new track record during qualifying.

Drivers will take on the ultra-fast, 2-mile speedway on Sunday as they compete in round 23 of the 36-race season. With only four races left until the field is set for the 2013 Chase for the Sprint Cup, a solid run at MIS this weekend is crucial for many of the Bowtie teams.
