Kenseth on racing in the Busch Series at Bristol Motor Speedway:
"Bristol has been good to us in the past and we were fast there in March. It's one of my favorite tracks to race at. The track is so fast and there's such a fine line between in control and out of control. If you cross it, you'll find yourself in the wall in a hurry. I thoroughly enjoy racing there. Is it a one groove racetrack? For the most part, yes. Is it impossible to pass without running into somebody? Absolutely not. You just have to be patient and get your car to turn a little better than the guy in front of you. Last year we averaged a 2.5 finish at Bristol by finishing fourth in the Busch race, then going on to win the Cup race. I will be perfectly satisfied if we leave this weekend with the same average finish. Jimmy (Fennig) and the guys deserve a victory and I can't think of a better place to give them one."
Crew Chief Jimmy Fennig on racing at Bristol Motor Speedway:
“I am really looking forward to Friday night under the lights at Bristol. Matt has a great record there and the team is carrying momentum off their fourth place finish last weekend in Michigan. Hopefully we can get Matt into victory lane with Ameriquest.”
