JEFF GORDON, NO. 24 DRIVE TO END HUNGER CHEVROLET SS – POLE SITTER
“We definitely have a fast Drive To End Hunger Chevrolet. I think we’ve shown that all weekend long. But you never know what you’ve got until you put it on the clock. I am so proud of this pole because we got the pole in Daytona, but it was a totally different format. I knew the car was fast there. For this team to bring another car, a different car here, and all the hard work from the engine shop and what they do with the bodies, and chassis and prep. A lot of hard work goes into this and Alan Gustafson (crew chief) takes a lot of pride in these. They should, this is awesome. And awesome for Hendrick Motorsports to be on the front row. This was all them. I played a small role at Daytona, but I played NO role today, but it was fun.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Talladega–Qualifying →

DANICA PATRICK, NO. 10 GODADDY CHEVROLET SS met with media and discussed her season to date, the departure of GoDaddy as primary sponsor at the end of the year, her thoughts on a future sponsor, the Qualifying format change, and more. FULL TRANSCRIPT:

YOU RECENTLY RECORDED THE MOST ALL-TIME TOP 10 WINS BY A FEMALE DRIVER. TALK A BIT ABOUT YOUR SEASON AND HOW YOU WOULD RATE THAT OVERALL AT THIS POINT
“I think we get rated in the point standings every year. That’s usually how people think of the season and how it’s going. But, it’s going better. It’s going better than it has yet in Cup. I think we definitely, as a team, had challenges put on our plate to start the year with a new crew chief and me being a new driver for him and just a lot of changes overall. But, I think that we’ve overcome them really well, and we still have our tough and rough weekends. I feel like, as personalities, we work together well. We get upset and we have our moments, but we are able to communicate really well during. So, I think our professionalism and staying even-keel with each other is allowing us to be able to get the most out of each race weekend and each race itself. I think that in general, it’s going pretty well and it makes me look forward to where we will evolve to because in my mind, it really can only get better as we are still learning each other and learning what set-ups work for me and what changes work for me, so it makes me excited.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Talladega–Danica Patrick →
