Kenseth on racing in the Busch Series at Watkins Glen International:
"Watkins Glen is a track I have struggled at in the past, plus it has been a long time since we have run a Busch car there. This race wasn’t even on my schedule at the beginning of the year, but I’m glad it was added. A little practice at a road course can’t hurt. My team built a brand new car so we’ll see how it does and hopefully get a good finish.”
Crew Chief Drew Blickensderfer on racing at Watkins Glen International:
“Watkins Glen was added to our schedule last minute and the team worked really hard building and getting this new chassis ready for this weekend. Matt (Kenseth) may not have the best record at Watkins Glen, but it has also been awhile since he has been in a Busch car there. If all our hard work pays off we should have a strong run in the No. 17 Aflac Ford Fusion.”
