A LOT OF PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT HOW YOU HUNG IN THERE LAST WEEK. DID YOU KNOW YOU HAD THAT WITHIN OR DID YOU SURPRISE YOURSELF? “You just can’t give up in situations like that.

I think a lot of it has to do with the race car those guys gave me and I’m really fortunate to have that.”

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS TRACK? “It is a challenging race track no matter what but then you throw it into the start of this round, any race in the playoffs has its own challenges but this place is tough.

THE CHEVROLET TEAMS HAVE MORE CLOSELY WORKED TOGETHER AT TALLADEGA. GOING THERE NEXT WEEK, HOW HAS THAT CHANGED THINGS? “It affects everybody. I have said this before about super speedway racing.

Jimmie Johnson on racing at Dover: “I absolutely love Dover. If it was up to me we would race there more than twice a year. It suits my driving style because it's got the characteristics I loved racing when I was in off-road trucks. It’s a special track for me for so many reasons.”

As Paul Menard heads into the final seven weeks of his time as a full-time driver in the Monster Energy Cup Series, it’s been on his mind that he’ll likely never again drive a Cup car on the tracks remaining on the schedule.
