Kenseth on racing at Darlington Raceway:
“I’m really glad I’m getting an opportunity to run the Busch race here at Darlington for Pennzoil I think we’ve got a great car and we’ve run well enough to win a race for them both times this year, so maybe the third time will be a charm for us. I’ve had a lot of success running here on Saturdays and I hope to continue that this week—it’d be great to go out with a win for Pennzoil here.”
Crew Chief Tony Liberati on racing at Darlington Raceway:
“I like to say that we don’t come to the race track to run second and I really mean that. With Matt behind the wheel, we can only stop ourselves. He’s a hell of a driver and can get the job done and I think he’s going to outlast a lot of the competition in this race before it’s over. Our guys on pit wall are pumped up right now and we’re ready to get in Victory Lane.”
