O’Quinn Jr. on racing at Talladega Superspeedway:
“I am definitely excited about Talladega. I enjoy racing on the big speedway tracks, and we had a great run in Daytona in February. We picked up a lot of positions in the closing laps, and we had a solid top-20 finish. The car was great there, it drafted well, and we are bringing the same one with us to Talladega, so it should be a good race for us.”
Crew Chief Drew Blickensderfer on racing at Talladega Superspeedway:
“Talladega is a pure-speed track. Like Daytona it is a restrictor-plate racetrack, but handling isn't as important because of the surface and the size of the track. We are bringing the same car that we ran in Daytona, RK-344, and hope to continue to make steps toward becoming a top-10 team.”
