Kurt Busch on racing at Las Vegas Motor Speedway: "After this odd early off-weekend, it will be good to get back into the grind of the season. Every time we got to Las Vegas it's like my own Daytona 500, with all of the media and family and friends and the sheer excitement of the city and being back at home. This year it will be even more intensified as it will be the first time I've been in a race with my brother in five years. I can't wait for the chance to run side-by-side with him out their on the race track."

Crew Chief Jimmy Fennig on racing at Las Vegas Motor Speedway: "This race means a lot to Kurt, and I know he's excited to be racing with his younger brother. The whole team is excited about going back out to Vegas. We've never run as well here as we've wanted to, and we came out here to test last month and learned a few things that hopefully can pay off for us this weekend."
