TELL ME ABOUT YOUR CHANCES IN THE PLAYOFFS:
“I think our chances are solid. We have nothing to lose in my mindset in where we are at as far as the points go. Last year we made some noise and made it to the second round, and missed the third round by one point. I kicked myself over that point but I learned from it experience-wise. I know how aggressive I need to be in those first couple of races to put ourselves in a little better position for the third race. They are three-race seasons and you have to take them as that and get as much as you can out of them.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Playoff Media–Austin Dillon →

KASEY KAHNE, NO. 5 FARMERS INSURANCE CHEVROLET SS, met with members of the media at Playoff Media Day. Full Transcript:

IS THERE A CONCERN THAT YOU ARE GOING INTO THE CHAMPIONSHIP AS A LAME DUCK?
“Actually, there is really no concern for me about that. I know that I’m going to give everything. We talked last week, myself and every guy on my team and they all want to do the best they possibly can in my final 10 races and I want to do the best I can for them during my final 10 with them. Yeah, I feel like we have as good of an opportunity to run well in these final 10 that we’ve had all season long. And look forward to being back in the Playoffs something I hadn’t been in a couple of years. Excited to be here today (at Playoff Media Day) and excited to go to Chicago and get it started.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Playoff Media–Kasey Kahne →

RYAN NEWMAN, NO. 31 CAT D10 CHEVROLET SS met with members of the media at Playoff Media Day. Full Transcript:

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT GOING INTO THE PLAYOFFS? OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A LOT OF TALK AROUND MARTIN TRUEX, JR. AND HOW WELL HE HAS RUN THIS YEAR. IS THAT MOTIVATION FOR YOU?
“All I’ve ever cared about is myself and my team and our sponsors; and to go out there and do the best job we can. Obviously, yeah, our stats aren’t as good as some others. But, you can’t have Playoffs if you don’t incorporate the other guys, too. The championship is not 26 races. It’s 36. We’ll see what we can do in these last 10 races.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Playoff Media–Ryan Newman →

JIMMIE JOHNSON, NO. 48 LOWE’S CHEVROLET SS, met with members of the media at Playoff Media Day. Full Transcript

ARE YOU AWARE THAT IF YOU WIN THE TITLE THIS YEAR YOU WILL BE THE ONLY DRIVER TO HAVE EIGHT CHAMPIONSHIPS IN CUP?
(Laughs) “I heard something about that. You know, I do think about it occasionally but the format really doesn’t allow you to do so. Even last year. We had the summer slump, started the playoff and we do well with winning Charlotte and winning Martinsville. Things start rolling and momentum picks up that we didn’t have six to eight weeks before and we are the champions. I am obviously hoping for more of the same but all being said, it is so tough knowing who the person is going to be. I feel that the playoff points might change that, and should change that to where if you have had a good year and you collect those playoff points that you will be one of the four in Homestead. So, we will have to see how that really plays out. This playoff format to date – nobody knows, and it takes away from over-thinking it which is really nice.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Playoff Media–Jimmie JOhnson →

WHO IS THE FAVORITE GOING INTO THE PLAYOFFS?
“It’s kind of hard to have a favorite really. It’s only one race. Martin will be really good there. If both Kyle Busch and I make it there, I think we’re both really good at that style of racetrack. Harvick obviously is really good. Jimmie.
I mean, there’s so many people that are good at Homestead, it’s hard to pick a favorite. But I think if you had to pick a favorite to make it all the way there, it would be Martin.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Playoff Media–Kyle Larson →

THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.

Talking to your crew chief tonight. What do you think about your crew chief Alan Gustafson, how you two are progressing and moving into the Playoffs?

“I think our relationship has been good. I like Alan a lot. I’m not just telling you that to tell you that, but I really do. He’s a super smart guy. I think he builds great racecars. I like the attitude he has. I like the vibe he brings to our team. Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Playoff Media–Chase Elliott →
