ALAN GUSTAFSON, CREW CHIEF, NO. 9 NAPA AUTO PARTS CAMARO ZL1 1LE, Teleconference Transcript Highlights:

The Cowboy Channel, the first 24-hour television network totally dedicated to western sports and the western lifestyle, has partnered with Richard Childress Racing for the NASCAR Cup Series race at Watkins Glen International.

Kyle Larson, driver of the No. 5 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE, on racing at Watkins Glen: "Watkins Glen isn't my best road course track, but I enjoy racing there. It's fun because it's fast-paced. With little fall off (in times), you have to be aggressive the whole run and it seems you have to make some hairy passes in the braking zones to get by people."

Kyle Busch Motorsports driver John Hunter Nemechek was made available to media prior to the Watkins Glen race weekend today:

ARIC ALMIROLA, No. 10 Smithfield Ford Mustang -- WHAT DID YOU DO DURING YOUR BREAK? “Right after Loudon, we did some stuff around the house. I had a lot of media to do Monday and Tuesday, and then some stuff to do for sponsors on Wednesday."
