RAM DRIVER QUOTES “We tested at Little Rock last week and sorted a few things out; we were really happy with what we found. I think we have a really good RAM for this weekend from the testing and data that I’ve seen. We’ll see when we get out there but I’m really happy with what we did with the truck at Little Rock, the changes we made and how it reacted. I think we can really finish top five. If we can come out of there with a good top five and the front and rear bumpers still intact, that’d be a good day. This will be my first time racing at Martinsville. It’s what I’m used to from late model racing.” ---- Ryan Blaney

TEAM CHEVY FROM THE DRIVER’S SEAT: JIMMIE JOHNSON, NO. 48 LOWE’S CHEVROLET – 2nd IN STANDINGS: “Yeah, I am. It should be a good track for us. We did the 2013 test a month or so ago, so we’ve been on the track recently; and granted the cars aren’t the same so it will be different, but at lease we’ve had some laps on the track. We’ve done a little short track testing that should pay off and make us more competitive. So as excited as I am, I know also that the No. 11 (Denny Hamlin) is and I have to assume the No. 24 (Jeff Gordon) is pretty charged-up to go. But either way, I feel like it’s a good opportunity for us to get points and hopefully if we’re not in the points lead, we can get awfully close to it or take it there.”
