KYLE BUSCH, No. 18 M&M's Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing
Starting Position: 1st
Was your qualifying run a great team effort?
"It definitely was -- I'm surprised. I thought I got busted speeding there. If it wasn't it was that close -- very close. Man, I can't thank these guys enough at Joe Gibbs Racing. Steve Addington (crew chief) and all these guys that work on this do such an awesome job for me. That thing is humming this weekend. If (Kevin) Harvick thought the Toyota had motors before, watch out now because we're coming big time. This stuff's nice. We just keep clicking them off and keep going. It's obviously paying off really, really well. I just have to thank M&M's, Toyota and everybody that's been involved on this whole deal."

Does the All-Star race lend itself to your style?
"I don't know about the race, but qualifying I was as nervous as I've ever been in qualifying for anything. That was pretty nerve wracking. This race, it lends to my style and I'd have to say yes, being able to start out front and hopefully get some clean air and see what these guys behind us have for us. We know the 99 (Carl Edwards) style, but we know he's going to come from a long ways back."

How important was your crew in qualifying?
"This M&M's team and everybody at JGR do such an awesome job. They gave me a great race car that ran three laps phenomenal and gave me great pit stops -- they were solid on pit road and that's all you need in this kind of deal. I was nervous as I ever was today. I guess it's probably because if I knew, I would have screwed up just a little bit, which I thought I did coming to pit road, I would have got busted. Proud of the effort."

Can you talk about your entry to pit road?
"I don't know, it was awfully, awfully close. I knew that if I could get it to the maximum limit and I had a spot in turn four where I was going to start braking at. My car was so much faster than it was in practice. We ran over a second faster lap time, so I was going faster. I just misjudged by a little bit. I guess I didn't over misjudge, so it was pretty good."

TONY STEWART, No. 20 Home Depot Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing
Starting Position: 12th
Were you pleased with your qualifying run?
"Our run really didn't mean anything because we had to change a motor so we have to go to the back anyway. We basically did it just to go through the motions. I got 12 laps of practice so not real sure what to expect for tomorrow now. We didn't get a lot done today. We've been here all day, but haven't gotten much done. We broke a part in the motor that kept us from getting it changed before practice was over so we never got to go back out and really didn't get anything done today."

Can you talk about the format of this race?
"I know its different, but I don't even know what the format is. I'll know between now and tomorrow. We'll figure it out -- I know it's different and as long as its more exciting for the fans that's why we're here."

DENNY HAMLIN, No. 11 FedEx Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing
Starting Position: 20th
What happened with your car when you came in for the pit stop?
"I don't know. We had a start where our car wouldn't even run. When stuff like that happens you get all worked up and try to make up for something that's not there. Our car was just a little bit free on our run. We broke at the same place we did during the practice session, but you run a lot faster under these conditions so you're carrying more speed. You are not necessarily going to stop faster so we probably should have moved our point back a little bit."
