KEVIN HARVICK, NO. 4 BUDWEISER CHEVROLET SS – POLE WINNER
SPEED HAS NOT BEEN A PROBLEM FOR YOU GUYS ALL YEAR LONG IN MAY YOU SET THE TRACK RECORD FIVE MONTHS LATER YOU COME BACK HERE AND CRUSH IT. TELL US ABOUT IT:
“I’m just really proud of everybody on our Budweiser team. We’ve been dealt some bad luck throughout the year, but it hasn’t fazed them in continuing to work on the cars and the speed. The first three weeks we have led a bunch of laps and qualified well. Last week had them covered and a valve stem got knocked off by a lugnut. Keep doing the things that you are doing and that luck will all come full circle and as long as the cars continue to be fast that stuff all comes back to you. Hopefully it peaks at the right time.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–Kansas–Qualifying Report →

DALE EARNHARDT, JR., NO. 88 DIET MOUNTAIN DEW CHEVROLET SS, met with members of the media at Kansas Speedway and discussed turning 40 years old next week, his relationship with Ned Yost, his current position in the NASCAR Chase for the Sprint Cup and many other topics. Full Transcript:

CAN YOU REFLECT A LITTLE BIT ABOUT TURNING 40? ARE YOU WHERE YOU THOUGHT YOU WOULD BE?
“Definitely accomplished more than I thought I would when I was younger. I just wanted to make it and being the son of a guy that was so successful. The more success he had it seemed like the harder it would be for me to make it. I would just be sort of a chapter in that whole thing, but I’m real happy with what I’ve been able to accomplish and who I have been able to work with and the friends I’ve been able to make. That is probably the best thing is the relationships that you create. Being a part of this sport there are so many great people in it, no matter what department you talk about. It’s just fun getting to know all those people that helped get this thing going and move it from race to race. The accomplishments as far as just the statistics it’s definitely exceeded my expectations. We are still winning races and running good so maybe we can get a few more wins and have some more fun before it’s over. Definitely having this birthday come up makes you reflect quite a bit back on not so much the decisions or any regrets you have, just the fun stuff you have done and is the next 40 years going to be just as good, because the first 40 were pretty great.”

JIMMIE JOHNSON, NO. 48 LOWE’S CHEVROLET SS met with media and discussed is view of the three races in the ‘Contender’ round of the Chase, the importance of winning prior to Talladega, his expectations of the race track at Kansas, the importance of track position, and more. Full Transcript:

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHT ABOUT BEING HERE AT KANSAS AND THREE RACES IN THE ‘CONTENDER’ ROUND?
“I’m ready to get going. These three tracks should be a lot of fun. The first two, I feel that we really have a good chance. We have a good chance at all three of winning, but the first two would make the experience of the third race of the ‘Contender’ round much more enjoyable. The track has been slowly losing that newly paved kind of tough-track-to-get-ahold-of thing that goes on. Hopefully we can move the groove out. It doesn’t look like the temperatures are going to be all that hot to help encourage that. But, it’s been months since we’ve been here. In some respects, I look back on our spring race and think okay, we’ve got a good foundation to start from; but with the new rules package in play, things have just moved on down the road. So, we’re really coming back, it feels like to me, for the first time this year.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Kansas–Jimmie Johnson →
