TOYOTA QUOTES

KYLE BUSCH, No. 18 M&M’s Toyota Camry TRD, Joe Gibbs Racing

Finishing Position: 3rd

How were you able to recover from the challenges you faced in the race today to get a third-place finish?

“I don’t know, just kept fighting and digging hard all day long. We had a really fast M&M’s Toyota Camry TRD anyway. Not as good as the Penske guys, they really have a hold of this place. We worked on ours all day long and got it better. Top-five car and got a third-place finish. Just salvaged what we could there after a lot of ups and downs. Thanks to the guys, good pit stops all day, and I left a little early on that one when we lost the wheel. All in all, we had a good recovery. Thanks to Rowdy Energy, Interstate Batteries, Rheem, Stanley, Breathe Right. This is a good a good finish here. Just trying to get back into the top-10 in points, that’s where it’s at.”

How was your race overall today?

“We certainly clawed our way back from a lot. To begin with, we had a really fast M&M’s Toyota Camry TRD so that certainly helped a lot of things to be able to come back up through the field there a couple times. Had tires there at the end, had a good restart, punched a couple holes and got ourselves in good position there. A good, solid finish, but wish we had a little more obviously, want to win before the year’s out and that would mean a lot to a lot of people. We got a top-10 in points to go get and we’re working on it.”

DENNY HAMLIN, No. 11 FedEx Office Toyota Camry TRD, Joe Gibbs Racing

Finishing Position: 5th

Can you talk about what you had to go through today to get a top-five finish?

“Honestly, I thought we were going to be a little bit better than we were today but starting 31st and to get a top-five in the second stage and top-five for the race is pretty decent. We just had one bad stop there at the end that kind of took away our track position, but we got most of that back. Pit crew did great. The guys did a great job adjusting from yesterday. We moved in the right direction and moved up in points. Just need to keep plugging along.”

CHRISTOPHER BELL, No. 20 Rheem-Opteon Toyota Camry TRD, Joe Gibbs Racing

Finishing Position: 34th

What was your view of that accident, Christopher?

“Just the 23, Bubba (Wallace) got run into the wall and obviously, retaliation on his side. We got the short end of the stick.”

How do you feel about your chances at Homestead and Martinsville to get to the Championship 4?

“The good thing is I feel better about winning one of those two races than I did winning the Roval. We’ve just had really, really strong Camrys – really all year long. We will see if we can go pull another rabbit out of the hat.”

How disappointing is it to have your championship chances impacted by an incident like this?

“It’s disappointing because our performance is capable of racing for the championship, and it doesn’t appear that we’re going to get to. Just disappointing.”

What happened between Bubba Wallace and Kyle Larson from your perspective?

“Bubba (Wallace) got run into the wall and then he retaliated on the 5 (Kyle Larson) and wiped us out.”

Do you believe Bubba Wallace should be penalized for his actions?

“I don’t know. Follow protocol of whatever they’ve (NASCAR) done in the past.”

BUBBA WALLACE, No. 45 McDonalds Toyota Camry TRD, 23XI Racing

Finishing Position: 36th

Was the contact with Kyle Larson intentional retaliation on your behalf after he ran you into the outside wall?

“Cliff (Daniels, 5 crew chief)) is smart enough to know how easy these cars break. When you get shoved in the fence, deliberately like he (Kyle Larson) did, trying to force me to lift – the steering was gone, and he just so happened to be there. I hate it for our team. We had a super-fast car – not on short run speed, we were kind of falling back there and (Kyle) Larson wanted to make it a three-wide dive bomb. He never cleared me. I don’t lift. I know I’m kind of new to running up front, but I don’t lift. I wasn’t even in a spot to lift, he never lifted either and now we are junk. Piss poor move on his execution.”

At this speed, is retaliation an acceptable thing?

“Stop fishing.”

What is the message that you wanted to send to Kyle Larson by going up to him after the incident?

“He (Kyle Larson) knows. He knows what he did was wrong. He wanted to question what I was doing, and he never cleared me. I just hate it for our team. Our McDonalds Toyota Camry was super solid – just needed to find a little bit on the short run and get the balance where we needed it. It would have been like Kansas and now the car is junk.”

What is your reaction to Christopher Bell being involved in this?

“Sports.”

What happened in the initial contact from your perspective?

“He (Kyle Larson) tried to clear me and there was nowhere clear and just stayed in the gas. I lifted and it was too late at that point. Everything broke and we were wadded up.”

Did you retaliate against Kyle Larson?

“Just racing right. Just have to do better, be better.”

JOEY LOGANO PUNCHES TICKET TO CHAMPIONSHIP 4 WITH VEGAS WIN

• Joey Logano won his third race of the season with today’s victory at Las Vegas Motor Speedway
• The win secures Logano a spot in the Championship 4 at Phoenix Raceway in three weeks.
• The win today is the 30th of Logano’s Cup Series career and 28th with Ford.
• It also marks Logano’s 11th career playoff race win.
• The 28 wins put him 6th on the all-time Ford win list.
• Today’s win is Ford’s 719th all-time in NASCAR Cup Series competition
• Of Team Penske’s 88 MENCS wins with Ford, 61 have come since rejoining Ford in 2013.

JOEY LOGANO, No. 22 Pennzoil Ford Mustang — FINISHED 1st — FOR A FIFTH TIME, JOEY LOGANO WILL RACE FOR A CHAMPIONSHIP IN HIS CAREER, BUT HE HAD TO EARN IT TODAY, HAD TO COME WITH THOSE FRESH TIRES. “We’re racing for a championship! Let’s go! Man, what a great car. Penske cars were all fast. All of them were really fast today. Oh, man, all you want to do is get to the Championship 4 when the season starts and race for a championship, and we’ve got the team to do it. I don’t see why we can’t win at this point. Things are looking really good for us, awesome Pennzoil Mustang, this bad boy, and man, just a lot of adversity fought through the last 50 laps or so. I thought we were going to win and then we kind of fell out and then had the tires, and racing Ross was fun. He was doing a good job air-blocking me, and just trying to be patient, and eventually, I was like, I’ve got to go here. Just great to win out here in Vegas again, and it means so much getting to the championship.”

CHASE BRISCOE, No. 14 Code 3 Associates Ford Mustang — Finished 4th

“We weren’t the greatest at the start of the race and obviously it didn’t really matter there at the end. We put ourselves in position and I wish that when I was running second and Justin (Haley) was in the lead, that run would have gone to the end. I feel like I was probably going to get by him in the next five laps. We had such a big gap compared to everyone else. Nobody else had tires. We were all on equal tires. On that last restart, I just didn’t get the job done. The 31 stalled me out and let Ross (Chastain) put us three wide which put me in a really bad spot into three. When you give up the lead you are kind of just stuck. Who knows? Those guys were coming on tires and I doubt I would have been able to hold them off but I would have felt better about it if I had the opportunity. We kept ourselves in the ballgame and still have a lot of work to do but we still have a chance. We are running the best we have all year long and that is about all you can ask for.”

CHEVROLET MILESTONE VICTORY CLINCHES MANUFACTURER’S CHAMPIONSHIP
500 Wins for Chevy, Sixth Consecutive Series Title

LAS VEGAS (October 15, 2022) – Josh Berry’s NASCAR Xfinity Series victory at Las Vegas Motor Speedway also capped a memorable afternoon for Chevrolet: It marked Chevy’s 500th all-time win in the series and it clinched Chevrolet’s sixth consecutive NASCAR Xfinity Series Manufacturer’s Championship.

The 2022 season marks the manufacturer’s 24th time winning the Bill France Performance Cup, extending its series-leading record over any other manufacturer. The prestigious award is also the eighth for the Camaro SS, captured in its 10th season as Chevrolet’s flagship vehicle in the series.

“It’s been quite a day for Chevrolet, and it’s been quite a season,” said Jim Campbell, U.S. vice president of Performance and Motorsports. “First, congratulations to Josh Berry for winning his third race of the season. Each race win is special and memorable in its own way, and I’m sure he’ll remember today for a long time. JR Motorsports, Kaulig Racing, Richard Childress Racing, Jeremy Clements Racing, Big Machine Racing and Hendrick Motorsports contributed valuable manufacturer points this season. Many people contribute to accomplishments like these, and I’d like to thank all of the Chevrolet engineers, and all of the drivers, crew chiefs, teams and owners who have been a part of our 24 championships and 500 wins in the NASCAR Xfinity Series over the years.”

Chevrolet secured its series-leading championship title with 30 of 33 races complete. Eight drivers from five different Chevrolet teams have amassed 23 wins thus far, giving the Bowtie brand a winning percentage of 76 percent. Team Chevy drivers contributing to those wins include: Noah Gragson (seven wins), AJ Allmendinger (five wins), Justin Allgaier and Josh Berry (three wins each), Austin Hill (two wins), and Jeremy Clements, Kyle Larson and Tyler Reddick (one win each). Sam Mayer and Landon Cassill also contributed points toward the championship.

In pursuit of the 2022 NASCAR Xfinity Series Driver Championship, Kaulig Racing’s AJ Allmendinger won the regular-season championship title, and led Chevrolet to a manufacturer-leading eight playoff contenders. Now reaching the Playoffs Round of 8, six Chevrolet drivers remain to vie for a spot in the Championship 4, with Josh Berry now the first driver to secure his spot to compete for the championship title.

The 2022 NASCAR Xfinity Series season will conclude at Phoenix Raceway on Saturday, November 5, for the series’ Championship race.

TYLER REDDICK, NO. 8 ALSCO CAMARO ZL1 – Pole Winner Press Conference Transcript

TALK ABOUT STARTING UP FRONT FOR TOMORROW’S RACE.

“It’s awesome. I didn’t really know what was going to be in the cards for us after how practice went. We didn’t really fire off great. We had to make some pretty big adjustments on our car. Normally with this car, it’s been pretty challenging to go from a 20th-place car to where we ended qualifying at.

Just a great effort from our team. We worked really, really hard today. That’s just what we’re about. We just keep fighting.”

EARLIER YOU SAID YOU WERE PRETTY EXCITED JUST THINKING ABOUT PRACTICE, THINKING ABOUT QUALIFYING. YOU SAID YOU WERE HAPPY ABOUT THE NEWS FOR NEXT YEAR, BUT WEREN’T REALLY SHOWING IT. WHAT’S THE EMOTION RIGHT NOW, KNOWING THAT YOU’RE STARTING ON THE FRONT ROW FOR TOMORROW’S RACE?

“For the race tomorrow, it’s a big deal for us.

I’m really excited about next year, but there’s still a number of races left this year that I’m going to continue to remain focused on and do everything I can for my team to run well and do well.

Certainly, it is nice to know – like, ‘hey, this is what the future is going to hold’. I’m going to get to go over there earlier than I planned and just start working on those things that myself and a lot of the ownership over there talked about wanting to do and why we wanted to get together. We just get a year earlier start on that and that is very exciting for me. I’m excited about the opportunity, but I understand and know – I’m excited in a weird way for all of the things that we’re going to have in front of us. In a weird way, it’s always been really fun for me to put a lot of work into something like I have at RCR and see how much has come out of it. So, I’m really excited to do that again and do that at 23XI.”

WITH THE DISTRACTIONS OF YOUR SITUATION NOW SETTLED, IS IT EASIER TO NOW FOCUS ON THESE FINAL RACES?

“It wasn’t a distraction at all, honestly.”

YOU SHARED A LITTLE EARLIER ABOUT CHANGING THE SETUP FROM A 20TH-PLACE CAR TO NOW SITTING ON THE POLE. I DON’T KNOW IF YOU BELIEVE THIS OR NOT, BUT THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS GOING ON IN THE SKY THAT ARE PREVENTING THE SUN FROM POSSIBLY COMING OUT THE NEXT FEW HOURS. IF THAT ENDS UP COMING, WHAT KIND OF ADJUSTMENTS DO YOU HAVE TO MAKE AGAIN?

“I don’t even know what you’re talking about. Are you talking about rain.. that word?

Well, we don’t do anything until tomorrow, so that’s fine. I hate it for these guys. They might be stuck here a little bit later. But when it rains, it pours, it seems like. The only thing that’s going to stink about that is that I was really excited about going back to South Point and hanging out at the pool; and if it rains, that’s going to ruin that. I guess that will effect my strategy for the rest of the day (laughs).”

SAME TIRE AS TEXAS AND KANSAS. CERTAINLY WE SAW ISSUES AT TEXAS AND A LOT OF THE DISCUSSION SEEMED TO BE ABOUT AIR PRESSURES. THE LEARNINGS FROM THOSE EXPERIENCES, HOW DOES THAT CARRYOVER OR WHAT KIND OF AN IMPACT COULD TIRES PLAY IN THAT SENSE TOMORROW?

“It just depends on what happens. If we’re talking about the thing that nobody wants to talk about in the sky, like if the track cools off a bunch and people aren’t right on top of it on the air pressures.. I think that’s what made Texas so crazy when the track cooled off a lot. As it was cooling off, the speeds picked up, the load in the tire picked up, especially in (turns) three and four and I think that’s where people saw issues. I think those are the situations that could come into play. But certainly as people get more desperate to try and make their cars better on the long run, all that sort of stuff – I think the air pressure can play a role into that. I think.. I’m not a crew chief though.

And then there are other factors, just like what you bring as a setup in your car to the racetrack. Some of us unfortunately, just depending on what we bring – if we guess wrong, we’re in a bad spot and we’re being really hard on the construction of the tire.”

EARLIER IN HERE, CHASE ELLIOTT WAS SAYING ‘HEY, WHEN THINGS GO WRONG, LET IT GO’ AND YOU JUST HAVE TO MOVE ONTO THE NEXT RACE. WHEN YOU HAVE SUCCESS, WHETHER IT’S SOMETHING LIKE TODAY OR WINNING A RACE HERE IN THE PLAYOFFS AFTER YOU’VE BEEN ELIMINATED – IT’S A GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT, BUT IS THERE A LITTLE BIT OF A PAIN BECAUSE OF WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN? AS AN ATHLETE, HOW DO YOU NOT LET THAT CONSUME YOU?

“At this moment, I don’t. But certainly if depending on how things go – say we win another race now that we’re in the Round of 8 and go out there and outrun all of the Championship 4 at Phoenix – I guess then, that’s when you can be like ‘dang, those two points’. But up until then, there are so many different ways that things could play out, so at this moment, no. If it does go that way, it stinks, but it shows that we were right there and we just needed one or two things to go a little bit differently. At the end of the year, if it ends that way, that will sting. But in a way, it’s a good problem to have because it means that we were right now.”

WE’VE HEARD FROM SOME DRIVERS THAT THE WIDER TIRE MIGHT BE HELPING TO RUBBER UP THE OTHER LANES A LITTLE BETTER THIS YEAR ON SOME OF THE OTHER INTERMEDIATE TRACKS. HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT?

“I don’t know if it has anything to do with the tire width. I think in our case here, with this car when it comes to laying tire rubber, it just seems like it’s air temperature and track surface temperature dependent. We’ve been able to go to Martinsville like we did in the summer a couple months ago and lay all sorts of rubber with the same tire that wouldn’t lay any rubber when we raced there in the spring. Today, just how it played out for whatever reason – (turns) one and two in the shade were laying a lot more rubber than three and four in the sun. So, I think in some weird ways, it’s temperature dependent, more so than the 1.5-mile tracks. I feel like of the tracks that we go to, the 1.5-mile tracks probably test the tires the most laterally.. not even really accelerating. So it could be a few of those things, but I think it’s mostly track temperature.”

YOU EARNED YOUR FIRST CUP SERIES WIN AT ROAD AMERICA AND YOU’VE SINCE THEN ADDED ANOTHER TWO WINS THIS SEASON. WHAT’S DIFFERENT THIS YEAR THAN YOUR LAST YEAR AT CUP, AND WHAT KIND OF MOMENTUM DOES THAT BRING TO YOU FOR NEXT SEASON?

“We’ve just had a little bit more speed at more tracks this year. And then in those situations, like Road America and Indy, the races played out pretty naturally and we were able to navigate our way to win. Look at Texas, it was a little bit more chaotic for us.

In the years past, the first year we had a race or two capable of that. Just as the race played out, we didn’t run a complete race without any mistakes and that was the difference. As we’ve moved to this Next Gen car, a lot of those same details remain where you have to really execute all aspects of the race. We’ve just had a little bit faster cars. We’ve been able to mix it up a little bit more in certain situations and get our way up there. I think, consistency-wise, it’s been one of my worst years. But if we were running at the end of the race, we’re in the top-10. If not, we’re in the garage five-laps down because something went wrong.”

ONLY ONE TIME HAS THE RACE BEEN WON BY THE POLE SITTER AT LAS VEGAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY. DO YOU FEEL ANY CONVINCING REASON ON WHY THAT MIGHT BE DIFFERENT THIS YEAR FOR YOU, AND WHY DO YOU THINK THAT IS?

“I don’t know. I think the track changes a lot from practice, to qualifying and then to the race. The lane choice you have and the decisions you make when the track is pretty green when we start practice is a lot different than it is in the race.

And then there’s just a lot of really smart teams and drivers out here that have raced here many, many times and know what adjustments to make to hit the certain aspects of this car. For us, when we’ve started on the pole or we’ve started towards the front at these 1.5-mile tracks, we’ve had a lot of speed. We’ve just, unfortunately, had some things not go our way. But we were really safe on a lot of that stuff today, so I feel pretty good about it.. kind of like how we were at Texas. We’ll just see how it plays out. Hopefully we’ll change that tomorrow and it will be two and not one.”

Four Camaro ZL1’s to Start in Top-10

· Tyler Reddick clocked-in a lap of 29.252 seconds, at 184.603 mph, to capture the pole position for tomorrow’s South Point 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

· This marks Reddick’s fourth career pole in 107 NASCAR Cup Series starts.

TYLER REDDICK, NO. 8 ALSCO CAMARO ZL1 – Pole Winner Quote

There was a moment off of turns three and four that might have slowed him down a little bit. He described that to two or three people here.. what was going on there?

“Well, it didn’t slow me down. I was either going to hit the wall or if I didn’t, it was going to be a really good lap. It wasn’t my intentions to be that close. I knew I was going to have to get through (turns) three and four really well; and that wall off of turn four came a lot closer and a lot sooner than I initially anticipated.

Man, what a turnaround for our group from practice this morning. Everyone on this No. 8 ALSCO Chevrolet worked really, really hard. We weren’t really firing off in practice where we wanted to be. We were a bit off and we really went to work. We found some life in the second run. We tried a couple of things on the third run that didn’t really pan out. Just again, my team made some fantastic adjustments going into qualifying and got our car a lot closer. Still a little sketchy through (turns) one and two, but it carried a lot of speed. We learned a lot and we’ll be able to make some pretty good adjustments going into tomorrow’s race.”

What does this run tell you about getting the checkered flag and the trophy tomorrow?

“It’s a long race, that’s for sure. It’s nice to have that track position. We’ve been really fast at these 1.5-mile tracks and this is one of the first practices that we really didn’t show that, so it was really nice to turn it around like we did. We’ll have a great pit stall for tomorrow.

We have a lot to digest here. It’s still morning out here, but we have a lot of things to look at. I don’t think we need to do anything crazy, but I do think we’ll need to make some small adjustments to prepare for the race.”

Is it safe to say now that anything good that happens to you and the No. 8 team, it’s nice to have them happen as you end your time with them?

“Yeah, man. We work really, really hard as a group. We’ve come a long way in the three years. I’ve learned a lot on the Cup side as a driver and it’s been great to do it with a lot of the same people over the years. We fight together as a group. Unfortunately, we can’t always bring our families. I get to bring Alexa and Beau quite a bit. It’s tough to be away from your families, but we sure make the most of the time we have together. We enjoy working together. We have fun and we enjoy the time that we spend together at the race track and that’s the biggest thing. We get to do what we love. We get to have a lot of fun and enjoy being together as a group as we do it.”
