MARTIN TRUEX, JR., NO. 78 FURNITURE ROW/VISSER PRECISION CHEVROLET SS – QUALIFIED 2ND - YOU WERE SO CLOSE TO GETTING THAT FIRST POLE OF THE YEAR “Yeah, we were close. For whatever reason, we thought we were in good shape, and then right there, I went to go for it and for some reason the car just got really tight laying it down in the corners."

GREG BIFFLE, No. 16 Safety-Kleen Ford Fusion (Qualified 7th) – “I am encouraged with where our lap times are. We are less than a tenth off the pole. A tenth of a second, if I had one more chance at it I think I could have done that. Momentum is kind of on our side."

DENNY HAMLIN, No. 11 FedEx Cares Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - What does it mean to be a part of FedEx and running a special paint scheme this weekend? “It’s obviously the FedEx 400 benefiting Autism Speaks. It’s a great relationship we’ve had with Autism Speaks over the last few years. Obviously it’s kind of a spin-off from that, but the FedEx Cares paint scheme is more of an appreciation for the nearly 70,000 hours that all the employees have put in at FedEx."
