Matt Kenseth on racing at BRISTOL MOTOR SPEEDWAY:
"I really like the track a lot because it is so much fun to drive. When you have a great handling car that allows you to stab the throttle and come off the corners, it makes for a fun afternoon. On the other hand, this is Bristol and you constantly have to be on your guard to stay out of trouble. We've had some great runs our last few races here at this track and I'd like to win one of them. This is a racetrack that every driver would like to get a win at."
Crew Chief Robbie Reiser on racing at BRISTOL MOTOR SPEEDWAY:
"We're taking our Bristol car from last year that did really well for us. We're just going to have to be on our toes this weekend and try to stay out of trouble and get the best finish we can. For some teams, Bristol just comes down to survival. We've had some good luck here lately and we hope to have some more good luck this time."
