Matt Kenseth on racing at Atlanta Motor Speedway: "I'm excited about going to Atlanta this weekend. We're running so good right now with all of the Roush components that I'm having the most fun I have ever had driving a race car in my life. I think we have a chance to continue the momentum that we've built over these last three weeks and hopefully continue to put ourselves into the right position for later in the season. It's a long way to go and we're only three weeks into it at this point, but it sure feels good to already have two victories in 2004."

Crew Chief Robbie Reiser on racing at Atlanta Motor Speedway: "We're taking a car we've used here in the past that's performed real well for us. I think we can go out this weekend continue doing exactly what we've been doing for the past two weeks and keep capitalizing on our momentum. I'm real proud of the guys at the shop that build these cars and I'm real proud of the pit crew and how they've risen to the challenge over these last two weeks. Sure, we're having some fun and this is what competitive racing is all about."
