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.

CHRIS BUESCHER, No. 34 Love’s Travel Stops Ford Fusion – “I am a little behind on social media. I need to catch up. I am on Twitter and Facebook and barely Instagram and that is it. I am not going any farther. I tried Snap Chat for a little while but it just wasn’t for me. There are a lot of other ones out there that keep popping up but I am done. I’ve got my three platforms and I will stick to that.”
