CLINT BOWYER, No. 15 5-hour ENERGY Toyota Camry, Michael Waltrip Racing - Starting Position: 5th - How was your qualifying run? "It was okay. I slipped up a little bit in a couple areas. I knew after the lap I had yesterday, it was going to be really hard to back that up. I just didn't exactly hit a perfect lap. We started sixth last year and hopefully we'll win up there. I think we'll definitely end up in the top-10 somewhere. We'll be fine."

So you know you have a chance, but the deal is Juan (Pablo Montoya) and Marcos (Ambrose) are able to pull these crazy laps out when they need to."
DAVID RAGAN – No. 34 Taco Bell Ford Fusion – “It was a pretty good lap. Our Front Row Motorsports team we always take a little bit extra time and effort coming to these road courses. David Gilliland and Josh Wise are both good road racers, so I try to lean on those guys a little bit."
