Todd Kluever on racing at Kentucky:
"Kentucky should be a really good race for us. We’ve got a new car that we’re taking that I’m pretty excited about. Winning the pole in Nashville last weekend was very cool and I wish we could have followed it up with a better finish, but hopefully we can make up for it at Kentucky. We know what happened to the car throughout the race to make it so tight so it shouldn’t happen again.
“I believe our 3M team has a lot of momentum right now. We’ve climbed from 23rd in the points up to 17th in just the last three weeks. I give all the credit to Mike Kelley (crew chief) and the guys because they just keep giving it 100 percent all the time because we know how well this team is capable of running and we’re going to get there.”
Mike Kelley on racing at Kentucky:
“We’ve got another new car for Kentucky this weekend which I feel really good about. I’d love to see Todd sit on the pole again this weekend, but this time finish closer to where we started.”
