McMurray on racing at New Hampshire International Speedway:
“I really feel like I have something to prove this weekend in New Hampshire. In the New Hampshire race earlier this year, we lost our brakes very early on and didn’t finish very well at all. This weekend we are out to show how strong we can really be at New Hampshire. I have had some good runs at the track in the past, so hopefully we can put it together this weekend. Over the last few weeks we haven’t been able to produce a finish we are proud of. Needless to say, we are looking forward to a better run this weekend in New Hampshire.”
Crew Chief Bob Osborne on racing at New Hampshire International Speedway:
“New Hampshire is a tough track in regards to setup. It’s a mile track that you have to setup for like a short track. Brakes are very, very important at New Hampshire, as we found out the last time we visited the track. We started losing our brakes after only 35 laps last time. This time, I think we have a better handle on the brakes and how to make them last the entire race. The last couple of weeks have been tough for this 26 team. Hopefully, we can have a solid run in New Hampshire and move ourselves up a little in the points.”
