"It is cool to get another pole. Last year it too us pretty much the whole year to get one pole and we won a lot of first and second sessions and would fall on our face in the third session.

Erik Jones - Starting Position: 12th- Were you pleased to make it to the final round of your first Sprint Cup qualifying effort? “It was a little disappointing because we’d run better laps in our first two rounds, but we just tried to make an adjustment there to take a stab at trying to go faster. It just didn’t work out.
"Our last one was our best one, but it wasn’t enough. It was a really good lap and my best lap of the day so I feel good about that and what we are bringing tomorrow night. We had some good practices today and Keith Rodden (crew chief) and the guys are doing a really nice job and hopefully we can bring that again tomorrow night.”
