Jeff Burton on racing at Lowe's Motor Speedway:
"Certainly the Coke 600 ranks up in the top-10 for me when it comes to importance. We've won it twice and of course wouldn't mind winning it again. We had a good car last weekend at the All-Star event but unfortunately our night was cut short when we got hung up in the wreck on the first lap of the Open. I think we have a pretty good feel for our potential but then again there are so many factors that can change between now and then. The Roundup team will give 110% like we do every weekend and we'll see what we come away with, all we can do is try and win like we do every week."
Crew Chief Bob Osborne on racing at Lowe's Motor Speedway:
"We're looking forward to the Coke 600. Unfortunately the car that was going to be our primary was the car that was involved in the wreck during the Open last Saturday. The damage was too extensive to fix this week so we are going to our back-up which was the car we raced at Texas and Atlanta. I think we'll be ok. We learned a few things last weekend but the track changes so I'm sure this weekend will be a different story. The Roundup team is working really hard and we'll do everything we can to get to victory lane."
