DENNY HAMLIN, No. 11 FedEx Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - What kind of challenges will Tony Stewart face coming back from an injury? “I think Tony (Stewart) has less challenges because he’s more talented.

"I got mine from my dad. He made me work on my race cars and go-karts and everything growing up if I wanted to race. If I didn’t put time in the shop, I didn’t get to go race. He works 16-18 hours a day even still, building engines so he works really hard and I learned from an early age that if you want something you’ve got to work hard for it.”
CARL EDWARDS – No. 99 Fastenal Ford Fusion – THOUGHTS ON THE NEW CROP OF YOUNG DRIVERS. “I think it’s always exciting to see new guys come in. A lot of times they come in with new ideas and a lot of energy and it’s fun to watch. I enjoy watching it and it’s really fun to do, too. I remember coming into this sport when Jack Roush hired me and it’s just so neat to come to these tracks for the first time and to figure everything out and realize the size of this sport. It’s a real enjoyable time.”
TREVOR BAYNE – No. 21 Motorcraft/Quick Lane Ford Fusion – HOW IMPORTANT IS IT FOR YOU TO STAY IN GOOD SHAPE? “To me, I’ve been working really hard this off-season to get more fit and with my diagnosis last year I wanted to turn everybody away from that by showing them that I can do everything that I did before. So this off-season I’ve been working out about three hours every day – from 8 o’clock to 11 o’clock – and that’s kind of been my routine. It’s been really good. We’re doing the triathlon style training and that’s been fun for me because it mixes it up with the swim, the bike and the run and we’ve really enjoyed it so far.”
