KASEY KAHNE QUOTES
“I had a lot of fun running Busch again last weekend with Trip and the guys on this Ultimate Chargers team. I didn’t get to drive the Busch race at California in the spring and I know that we are bringing our best Dodge Charger this weekend so it should be exciting. This will be the first time we have run the Snuggle brand on the car this season and it is one of the guy’s favorites so we want to come home with a good finish for them in their first ’06 race.”
TRIP BRUCE QUOTES
“We are all looking forward to going to Fontana and racing with Kasey (Kahne). It is a similar style track to the ones we’ve had so much success on earlier in the season with chassis B23. After the strong run in Bristol last week, everyone has a lot of confidence in each other and that will be a key ingredient to our success this weekend.”
