O’Quinn on racing at Daytona:
“We’ll I’m really excited about Daytona coming up, it’s going to be my first race ever on the super speedway. We had a great test there and I think its going to go well. The team gelled really well down there (at the test), we had a lot of fun and the car was really quick, and that makes things so much easier.”
Crew Chief Drew Blickensderfer on racing at Daytona:
“For us, Daytona is a race track where we have to focus about 99 percent of our energy into making our car as fast as possible for qualifying. Since we don't have any points to fall back on, we are focused on qualifying. As a team we are also focusing on preparing ourselves to not make the mistakes that many of the other rookie teams might make.”
