NASCAR Cup Series

AUSTIN DILLON, NO. 3 AAA COATINGS CAMARO ZL1 – Finished 6th“We had a really fast car. I think we actually had a little something for at least the top three spots. We had a little bit of a mess-up on our last pit stop and lost some track position. But we passed some good cars there at the end with Kyle (Busch) and (Brad) Keselowski. We had a really fast car. I’m really proud of these guys, the AAA team. I just wish we could have been a little further forward to see what I had. I saved a lot of my stuff for the end and was ready for that last run. But, we didn’t have enough.”

After a three way battle in the closing laps, Truex holds off Logano and Bowyer to win the Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond Raceway.

Kevin Harvick earned the pole for the Toyota Owners 400 in Friday night’s Busch Pole Qualifying at Richmond Raceway, and he gets to keep it.

KURT BUSCH, NO. 1 GLOBAL POKER CAMARO ZL1 – Qualified 3rd: “I thought it was three good runs. The car had a good bit of rear grip to it, which has been our struggle, so I’m really happy that today’s practice run and the qualifying runs today showed us that the car’s got the grip level. Now we just need to make sure the balance stays with it.

On Friday afternoon at Richmond Raceway, Harvick got through the corners better than everyone else in winning the unofficial pole position for Saturday’s Toyota Owners 400 at the .75-mile track.

LAST YEAR AT THIS TIME YOU WERE THE BIGGEST OF THE BIG THREE. DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE GOTTEN TO THE POINT TO GET BACK IN VICTORY LANE? “Not sure. We are doing all we can.”

“You probably have it right there, see what happens in two weeks. Short tracks, I think it’s fine. It’s a little hectic in the first round and even in the second round, but it’s easy for me to say. We had a great pit stall being first out. I could just roll out and here it doesn’t benefit you to wait so you just roll out and get your lap in. Other than that, I don’t know. I don’t think it’s going to solve any mile-and-a-half issues having a short round for sure.”

RICKY STENHOUSE JR., No. 17 Fifth Third Bank Ford Mustang -- TALLADEGA IS NEXT WEEK, HOW MUCH DO YOU LOOK FORWARD TO THAT FROM A RACING STANDPOINT? HOW MANY FRIENDS DO YOU THINK YOU’LL HAVE? “It felt like when we won our races at Daytona and Talladega we didn’t have any friends either."

MATT TIFFT, No. 36 The Pete Store Ford Mustang (Qualified 20th)“That is our first time this year we have made the second round. That was big for us. We feel like we unloaded decent today. We got to loose in the second round to get the time we needed there."
