“To be honest, it was a little better than what we thought, especially on the first lap. I thought we would be around a mid-226 mph or a low 226 mph. I’m not sure if we got a gust of wind, but we’ll take it. I think the Team Target guys did a hell of a job to get the combination together. You just have to take your best guess at it and hope it works. Winning the pole means a lot. I’m just so proud of everybody at Team Target whether it’s the engineers and everybody that has worked so hard to get the speed out of this car. I’m stoked. Just extremely happy that we are on the pole. I wasn’t sure when we went so early that it was going to stick, but I’m glad it did.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–INDYCAR–Qualifying →

“To be honest, it was a little better than what we thought, especially on the first lap. I thought we would be kind of around a mid-226 mph or a low 226 mph. I’m not sure if we got a gust of wind. But we’ll take it if that is what is going to help. It is hard going early because a lot of our competition or the ones that will be fighting for the pole will obviously coming quite late on in the run especially Penske guys. I think the Team Target guys did a hell of a job to get the combination together. The worked hard. You work and your mindset is on one combination a for a whole week, even the lead up to it on low boost. Then a low configuration and a high boost, then it changes.

A SECOND PLACE FINISH AFTER STARTING DEAD LAST; WHAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE IN THE FINAL 10 LAPS?
“I thought we were in a really good spot there at the end with our Hunt Brothers Pizza Chevy. As soon as Denny (Hamlin) moved up that one time it kind of took the air off. I had committed to the middle of the corner. Once I got to the middle of the corner the car just washed all the way up the race track and I had to lift way out of the gas to get the car back off the wall. All-in-all just really proud of everybody on this team; I’ve got to thank Hunt Brothers, Jimmy John’s, Budweiser, Chevrolet, Mobil 1, everybody who is a part of this program, DiTech and Outback for everything that they do.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASÇAR–Sprint All-Star Race Post Race →
