O’Quinn Jr. on racing at Las Vegas Motor Speedway:
“I’m definitely looking forward to going to Vegas this weekend. We tested out there, that was really our only test on a mile-and-a-half racetrack this year, so I have some seat time there already. We made some changes on the car to make it better after our test, so we’re trying to make our cars as identical to the other Roush cars as we can because they tested real well there in Vegas.”
Crew Chief Drew Blickensderfer on racing at Las Vegas Motor Speedway:
“Las Vegas is a unique mile-and-a-half track because of it's lack of banking. Although it is fairly fast, it has a lot of short track type set-up issues. Turning in the middle of the corner is something the fast cars have to figure out. We are bringing car 140, which is the car we tested at Vegas and ran at Fontana, but we changed some body work on it.”
