KEVIN HARVICK – No. 4 Jimmy John’s Ford Fusion – IS THERE A PART OF THE LAP YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE BACK? “In the second round I was too tight through three and four, and I was good in one and two. We had way more speed when we were good through three and four and loose through one and two, but I got a little bit sideways coming off of one and I couldn’t put the throttle down like I needed to, and then I was probably just a little over-cautious on the entry to two because I didn’t want to miss that corner and keep stacking time up.

TEAM CHEVY POST QUALIFYING QUOTES: JAMIE MCMURRAY, NO. 1 CESSNA/MCDONALDS CHEVROLET SS: "Our cars have been so good this year with only having two hour-long practice sessions, you have to hope you unload really close, and they did a really good job. I thought we were one of the best cars in race trim. In qualifying trim, I think we were fourth or fifth in practice. I don't think we had a shot at the pole. We had a really good lap going at the end, but I don't know that I had anything for the No. 18 (Kyle Busch)."
