JIMMIE JOHNSON, NO. 48 LOWE’S/KOBALT TOOLS CHEVROLET – POLE WINNER TELL US ABOUT YOUR LAP OUT THERE DID YOU GET EVERYTHING? “I felt really good about that lap. I certainly hope that it holds up. I think it’s going to be our objective to try and be in the top 10 for qualifying at a minimum. Of course I’m hopeful that it hangs on for the pole that would be a great way to start the Chase.”
Brad Keselowski (No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge Charger R/T) Qualified 13th CAN YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR QUALIFYING LAP? “Our Miller Lite Dodge has been really good in race trim and this has been the best that we’ve been in qualifying at a mile-and-a-half in quite some time. Between our qualifying effort and how our car was in race trim, I’m really encouraged.”
Matt Kenseth, No. 17 Best Buy Ford Fusion (Qualified 3rd) -- ARE YOU HAPPY WITH THAT LAP? “I was happy from the aspect that I got everything we could get out of it for today. I think there is two or three-tenths out there if someone gets their balance just right. I thought it was good strategy by Jimmy (Fennig) to try to go fast in the second practice, not in the first one, to go out earlier although I don’t think there will be a big difference today. I feel like I got a good lap but I think there is some more speed out there.”
