Jeff Burton on racing at DARLINGTON RACEWAY: “Darlington is one of those tracks that you have to attack. It's a track that historically keeps you on your toes because there are so many variables like tires and weather. This year they've added soft walls and that has taken approximately 30 inches off the track. That's a lot of space when you're talking about Darlington since we run right against the wall. No one has tested there because they've been putting up the soft walls so we're not really sure what the effects will be. I believe we will have to make some changes to our driving, there's no doubt about that. I'm looking forward to going to Darlington and running like I know we are capable of. We haven't had the best start to our season and we're hoping to turn that around this weekend."

Crew Chief Paul Andrews on racing at DARLINGTON RACEWAY: “The addition of the soft walls will most certainly affect the racing at Darlington. I think they talked about it taking up 30 inches of space which is quite a bit considering everyone runs along the wall at that track. Jeff and the No. 99 team have run well there and have a great history there and we want to build on that this coming weekend."
