Jeff Burton on racing at California Speedway:
"California is a nice track. You definitely have to have the right set up but you also have to have the right aero package. California is one of those tracks that require you to be good all the way around. The No. 99 Roundup team is coming off a good run at Talladega and we definitely want to keep that momentum moving forward. I think we have a good car heading into this weekend and I'm excited to see what we can do."
Crew Chief Bob Osborne on racing at California Speedway:
"We are taking the same car we raced at Darlington and Bristol. We raced pretty well at Darlington and we had a good car at Bristol until we got hung up in a wreck. I think we have a good car for California and of course our team is just awesome. The No. 99 Roundup team had a good solid weekend at Talladega and we are looking forward to repeating that in California."
