Kenseth on racing in the Busch Series at Kansas Speedway:
"Drew and the guys did a great job last weekend straightening out my car after we got caught up in that caution. Luckily, we were able to keep coming in under caution to put on a fender brace and get everything straightened out without going a lap down. Actually, they got my car to handle even better than it did in both practice sessions. Knowing we can make the best of a situation like that and still pull off a third-place finish gives us a lot of confidence going into Kansas. I like Kansas; it’s definitely a multi-grooved track that is smooth and wide like Chicago. We did pretty well there last year, so hopefully we can pull off something similar this year.”
Crew Chief Drew Blickensderfer on racing at Kansas Speedway:
“I’m kind of hoping this weekend isn’t quite as eventful as Dover. Matt is really strong at Dover, but we struggled finding the perfect set-up. Luckily, we got it handling well for the race and didn’t get hurt too badly in the wreck on lap 10. The team did a great job making repairs and keeping Matt on the lead lap. The third-place finish is a real confidence booster for the team going into Kansas. Kansas is another track that Matt is strong at, so hopefully we can get our Arby’s Ford Fusion handling well in practice, and for the race, and be a strong contender for the win.”
