KYLE BUSCH, No. 18 M&M’s Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - How have you adapted to the new configuration of the race track? “As far as the race track itself goes, it’s the same as it was so your marks haven’t changed anything from when we were here in the spring just making laps. Turn one, turn two, turn three, turn four – they’re the same corners, they’re just in a different order now relative to the start-finish line. I don’t think any of that is any different for us drivers.”

MARTIN TRUEX JR., No. 78 Auto Owners Insurance Toyota Camry, Furniture Row Racing - How long did it take for you to put the deal together with Joe Gibbs Racing? “I can’t even remember the timeline. Honestly, I really didn’t do much looking. They reached out to me right after that and said they were trying to work it out. I never really had to talk to anybody else. I felt like that opportunity was the right one for me and what I wanted to do."
