NASCAR Cup Series

JOEY LOGANO – No. 22 Shell/Pennzoil Ford Fusion – ARE YOU SURPRISED? “Yeah. I think what happened at Kansas is a completely different deal. We were racing for the win and he blocks you a few times and then we raced hard and he blocked me the last time and we spun out."

MATT KENSETH, No. 20 Dollar General Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - What is your reaction to what happened? “Well it’s a really disappointing day. I thought we were going to have a shot at the win there and they were jacking up the restart real bad to let each other in as teammates which is fine and I probably went in there and I got on the other side of Joey (Logano) and I was going to try to race him for the win and Brad (Keselowski) wiped me out for some reason."

Goody’s® and spokesperson Dale Earnhardt Jr. launched “Ride with Dale Jr.” today, a new contest that offers fans the chance to win a special ride along with Dale in the Goody’s No. 88 car along with VIP tickets to watch him drive the Goody’s car in 2016. The contest was announced at the Goody's® Headache Relief Shot® 500 at Martinsville Speedway.

Martin Truex Jr. put the No. 78 Furniture Row/Visser Precision Chevrolet SS on the front row and thus, put himself in good position for Sunday’s Goody’s Headache Relief 500 at Martinsville Speedway.

It bests the Chase contender’s third place qualifying effort at the 0.526-mile short track in the spring, and marks his career best starting spot at the paper-clipped shaped venue.

JOEY LOGANO – No. 22 Shell/Pennzoil Ford Fusion – “It’s an amazing run we’re on right now. This Shell/Pennzoil team is unbelievable. I’m just the lucky guy that gets to drive this thing right now.
