I’m not really sure why, but that’s just part of it.” WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT SUNDAY? “We’ve been OK. We’re pretty consistent right there in that fifth to 10th-place range, so we just have to find some more.”

KURT BUSCH, NO. 41 HAAS AUTOMATION CHEVROLET SS – Pole Winner “Wow, what a day, today. I feel like there are six corners out there as hard as I was working; corner entry, corner exit. The car was just off-balance, especially with the new bumps in Turn 2. And then we got way loose. I think we were 30th in practice. And we had to drop back and punt."

ERIK JONES, No. 4 Special Olympics World Games Toyota Tundra, Kyle Busch Motorsports - What is it about Texas that suits your driving style? “I guess it was more my favorite track here in recent times – my first time here I wouldn’t say it was anywhere near my favorite. It wasn’t the best day, but after getting the XFINITY win here I felt quite a bit more confident in what we had there and also my abilities here."

MATT CRAFTON, No. 88 Menards Toyota Tundra, ThorSport Racing - What was it like filming for the documentary ‘Driven’ about how you got started in racing? “It was a lot of fun.
