RYAN BLANEY, No. 21 Motorcraft/Quick Lane Ford Fusion – “Just to be racing in Sprint Cup means a lot to me and my family and to be able to get to know the Wood Brothers and everyone is really special to me. We are really fortunate to be where we are at and really excited to be down here and attempting to make the 500. We are looking forward to practice here in a couple days and see where we qualify and go to racing.”
BRIAN VICKERS, No. 55 Aaron's Dream Machine Toyota Camry, Michael Waltrip Racing - How are you feeling after surgery in December? "I'm feeling good considering everything. It's amazing with everything that's happened and how fast the recovery has been and how well I feel now relative to how I felt a month ago or two months ago much less."
RICKY STENHOUSE JR., No. 17 Fastenal Ford Fusion – HOW MANY GUYS ARE CAPABLE OF WINNING THIS RACE? “I think 43 are capable and I think that is what a lot of the fans enjoy about Daytona or Talladega for that matter. I think you see it throughout years past, different winners getting to victory lane that normally wouldn’t. Just being able to do that – we haven’t gotten a win in the Sprint Cup Series so you could put us on that list that could get your first win at a speedway. Yeah, it is just the style of racing that anybody can win and it is frustrating for some of the guys that win all the time and have really fast cars but it is just a product of this racing.”

CARL EDWARDS, No. 19 ARRIS Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - How important is change to a driver? "I believe that change in itself is good because it puts a lot of pressure on you. I feel that right now and I'm actually nervous and I think that's good. That's a motivator and for me it's an opportunity right now. I'm way outside of my comfort zone and that's good. Hopefully it yields good results."
