JOEY LOGANO, No. 22 Shell Pennzoil Ford Fusion – Finished 3rd “It was a really great run for us tonight. I thought we were decent in practice but didn’t think we would be that good.

KEVIN HARVICK, NO. 4 BUDWEISER/JIMMY JOHN’S CHEVROLET SS – QUALIFIED 6TH - ON HIS EFFORT - “We were just loose from pretty much the drop of the green flag in the first run and just never really caught up with it as we got to the end. We made it better on exit, but never really got it all the way fixed or all the way through the corner.”

BRAD KESELOWSKI, No. 2 Miller Lite Ford Fusion – Qualified 3rd “Not bad. I probably made a little mistake in the second round that cost us a shot at the pole but all in all we end up third and that is not too bad. I am really happy with the speed we have in race trim. It has good speed. We just have to keep working on it. It is an ever evolving target.”
