Matt Kenseth on racing at Lowe's Motor Speedway:
"Charlotte has always been one of my favorite tracks, partly because I got my first Cup win there. But the track was definitely different when we raced there in the spring after they redid the surface. We had a hard crash that night and that's certainly something that we don't want to repeat. We bringing a strong car that we've had success with this season, so we should be competitive."
Crew Chief Chad Norris on racing at Lowe’s Motor Speedway:
“We tested this track a couple of weeks ago and it went pretty well. There wasn’t a lot of rubber down on the track and I think that will make a difference this weekend. I think once there’s rubber on the track, we’ll really get the car dialed in during the second practice session on Thursday.”
