Kenseth on racing in the Busch Series at Darlington Raceway:
“We’ve had a lot of success at Darlington in the Busch Series. I’ve always enjoyed racing there. It’s just a fun place to drive. Maybe some of my success there will rub off on my Cup car. Robbie and I won here in John’s (Reiser) car back in 1999 and that was definitely a special day for all of us. This is one of those tracks that has always been good to me in the Busch Series and one of the reason I love going to Darlington.”
Crew Chief Jimmy Fennig on racing at Darlington Raceway:
“Darlington is a great track and presents a lot of challenges for a race team. The tire wear is so great that lap times fall off pretty drastically over the course of a run. With NASCAR limiting the sets of tires that Busch Series’ teams can use over the course of a race weekend, it may very well come down to whoever has saved that last set of tires for the end of the race on Friday night.”
