Matt Kenseth on racing at Bristol Motor Speedway:
"Until the spring race earlier this year, we had a nice string of top-ten finishes at Bristol. We had a good car, though. We were running third with about 25 laps to go when we cut a tire down. Our luck, along with our overall performance, has improved since then and I'm looking forward to another good finish this weekend."
Crew Chief Robbie Reiser on racing at Bristol Motor Speedway:
"We're bringing the same car that we always run at Bristol. We usually finish in the top-ten so it's definitely a track that we look forward to coming to. We were disappointed after last weekend in Michigan over not getting the win when our car was so fast, but the team is really focused on running up front week in and week out. We're going to win one of these things eventually so we'll keep working at it."
