Kasey Kahne, No. 5 Farmers Insurance Chevrolet SS, met with members of the media at Media Day at Daytona International Speedway

RICKY STENHOUSE JR., No. 17 Fastenal Ford Fusion – HOW MANY GUYS ARE CAPABLE OF WINNING THIS RACE? “I think 43 are capable and I think that is what a lot of the fans enjoy about Daytona or Talladega for that matter. I think you see it throughout years past, different winners getting to victory lane that normally wouldn’t. Just being able to do that – we haven’t gotten a win in the Sprint Cup Series so you could put us on that list that could get your first win at a speedway. Yeah, it is just the style of racing that anybody can win and it is frustrating for some of the guys that win all the time and have really fast cars but it is just a product of this racing.”

Cole Whitt, driver of the No. 35 Speed Stick Ford Fusion, will be entering his first season with Front Row Motorsports. Following is a transcript of his media day session at Daytona International Speedway.

CARL EDWARDS, No. 19 ARRIS Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - How important is change to a driver? "I believe that change in itself is good because it puts a lot of pressure on you. I feel that right now and I'm actually nervous and I think that's good. That's a motivator and for me it's an opportunity right now. I'm way outside of my comfort zone and that's good. Hopefully it yields good results."

ARIC ALMIROLA – No. 43 Smithfield Ford Fusion – “Winning at Daytona is special for anybody, but winning at Daytona, for me, is really special because I grew up here. I grew up sitting in those grandstands and dreaming about what it would be like to have a chance to race here, so to actually get a chance to race a Cup car here and win is unbelievable and very special. We come to Daytona this year with a lot of excitement. We’re the last ones to win here in the Cup Series, so we’re excited about the Daytona 500 and it would be really awesome to get a Daytona 500 win to add to that Coke Zero 400 win.”
