JOEY LOGANO – No. 22 Shell/Pennzoil Ford Fusion – “Going into today I didn’t think our car was gonna be very good, but Todd made some good changes overnight and made us more competitive. We seemed to have some good restarts all day, except for the last one, which is the most important one. We got the run we needed and then got loose and got stuck in the middle of three-wide and lost all the air in the car and lost my momentum so I went back a little bit."

JOEY LOGANO – No. 22 Shell/Pennzoil Ford Fusion – “I feel like that was hard-fought. We barely made the first round and barely made the second round and the third round I thought we had a good lap, but the track just cooled off and everyone else went faster too. From where we started in the first round I didn’t think we were gonna be very good, so we recovered decent and I think we learned some things throughout qualifying. Some of our changes were really good, so I’m looking forward to tomorrow.”
