Chevrolet swept both the NASCAR Sprint Cup and NASCAR Nationwide Series poles this weekend at Texas Motor Speedway (TMS) and also earned the victory in the Nationwide Series race; but fell just shy of making it a weekend sweep.
Kyle Busch was the first Camry driver to the finish line in Monday’s running of the rain-delayed NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) race at Texas Motor Speedway.
JEFF GORDON, NO. 24 AXALTA/TEXAS A&M SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING CHEVROLET SS – FINISHED 2ND A TWO TIRE CALL PUT YOU UP THERE FOR THE WIN ON THAT LAST LAP: “That was a great call. We lost the handling a little bit when the sun came out. We were looking at about a sixth place finish there."
Joey Logano’s win is his second with Ford Racing and fourth of his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series career.

Tony Stewart put Chevrolet SS on the pole for Sunday’s Duck Commander 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Texas Motor Speedway (TMS). He circled the 1.5-mile track with a fast lap of 27.628 seconds, 195.454 mph. It marked Stewart’s first pole since Atlanta 2012, his second at Texas Motor Speedway, and 15th career pole in the sport.
DENNY HAMLIN, No. 11 FedEx Office/March of Dimes Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - Starting Position: 6th - How was qualifying today? “We steadily made our FedEx Office March of Dimes Camry better through each session and really actually found something that will hopefully help us for race trim tomorrow."
TONY STEWART, NO. 14 MOBIL 1/BASS PRO SHOPS CHEVROLET SS – POLE WINNER
"The first run I knew I didn't run a very good lap, and then the second run really wasn't much different than that but we knew we had a heat cycle on the tires. This thing is fast. It was good in the first run, and in the second run it was pretty good and we were second and we ran a little bit quicker."
BRAD KESELOWSKI – No. 2 Miller Lite Ford Fusion – PRESS CONFERENCE – “Of course we’re disappointed. We wanted to sit on the pole, but it wasn’t meant to be. Tony obviously put down a great lap there at the end. I didn’t see that one coming. I thought we had it, but that’s why they do it this way."
JEFF GORDON, NO. 24 AXALTA/TEXAS A & M SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING CHEVROLET SS, met with members of the media at Texas Motor Speedway and discussed the first two practice sessions, his visit to the Texas A & M campus and many other topics.
“We had a tire go down. It started getting really loose about lap 25 into the run. I don’t know if the tire was leaking the whole time or if it just wore really bad, but going through one and two about two or three laps before that happened I said, ‘The right rear feels really bad,’ and then the next two laps I said it again and again and then all of a sudden I lost it into three."
