McMurray on racing at Chicagoland Speedway:
“Chicagoland Speedway should be good for the No. 26 team. We’ve had some real decent runs lately and really like the upcoming tracks this month. Daytona was good to us and we just need to keep chipping away at the top-ten points. This weekend will be our first of three Lenox Industrial Tool sponsored races – I am looking for big things to happen to welcome them into our family.”
Crew Chief Bob Osborne on racing at Chicagoland Speedway:
“We are looking forward to going to Chicago Speedway with chassis No. RK-227, and our new sponsor Lenox Industrial Tools, a division of Newell-Rubbermaid. This is the same Ford Fusion that we raced at Darlington. We had a good run at Daytona and are looking for a solid run at the upcoming intermediate tracks.”
