Jeff Burton on racing at Infineon Raceway:
“Road course racing is not my specialty but the No. 99 team seems to have run well at the road courses over the last few years. Last year we struggled at Infineon but this year we are looking to return and have a strong showing. I like Infineon, it’s a nice track and they’ve done a lot to improve it over the years. The No. 99 team had a good run at Michigan last week and we want to continue that momentum into this weekend. We have a strong team and they are working hard to give me fast race cars. We improve each week and I don't think this week will be any different."
Crew Chief Bob Osborne on racing at Infineon Raceway:
“We've done a little testing in preparation for this week's road course race. I think we have a good car and we certainly have a great team and driver. We need to qualify well and stay up front and we should be ok. The No. 99 team is coming off a pretty good weekend at Michigan and once again this team had a great day in the pits and we showed we were a contender from the beginning. We continue to improve every week and I look to continue that trend at Infineon."
