Kenseth on racing in the Busch Series at Lowe’s Motor Speedway:
"It’s always fun to race at Charlotte. Not only is it pretty much in our backyard, but I’ve also had some success here. This is the race last year where you saw what happens when someone tries to go faster than the car is capable of going. I was going for the win coming off of four and the car just got away from me. Hopefully, we’ll be in position to win again, like last year, except this time, we’ll get a little better results. We’ve had a bunch of good runs lately; we just haven’t been able to pull off a win. Racing in our hometown in front of family and friends is a great motivator, if we can get some good pit stops we should be able to contend for the win.”
Crew Chief Drew Blickensderfer on racing at Lowe’s Motor Speedway:
“We had a little break and are ready to get back racing after our off weekend. The time off gave us a chance to turn around our Kansas car and get it ready for Charlotte. This car ran really well at Kansas and almost pulled off the win. Hopefully we can get the No. 17 iLevel Ford Fusion back up front this weekend and get the win we missed out on in Kansas.”
