KEVIN HARVICK, NO. 4 HUNT BROTHERS PIZZA CHEVROLET SS – FINISHED 2ND
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 →

DANICA PATRICK, NO. 10 MOBIL 1/ASPEN DENTAL CHEVROLET SS – Joins Sprint All-Star Race line-up via Fan Vote:

“I have great fans. I know I didn’t make it in last year, but I heard that they voted even more last year than the year before that and so I’m sure that this year was nothing different. I think I got close at the end and they came through. They always come through. I am lucky to have such great fans.

“I just really hope that we can learn enough tonight to make the car better tomorrow so that we can start throughout the segments because I think there are like five, right? Sometimes we might stay out. Maybe we’ll only take two (tires). Maybe only fuel. It would be cool to be able to have a car good enough to march our way forward and then ultimately see how good we can get it for the 600. But, thanks to Sprint, too, for giving this platform for a driver like myself who has great fans but didn’t win the race to get in. That’s my ultimate goal. We’re working toward it but these things all help. All the laps on track help.”

HOW GREAT WOULD IT BE TO WIN AFTER BEING VOTED-IN BY YOUR FANS?
“That would be the ultimate. There is nothing better than redeeming yourself for not racing your way in, by winning it. That would be the best-best case scenario. To be honest, even cooler to get voted in and then win. So, that would be great. I think it’s going to be tough. But, anything can happen; especially in this crazy format.”

KASEY KAHNE AND KEITH RODDEN, NO 5 TIME WARNER CABLE CHEVROLET SS met with media and discussed strategy for the All-Star Race, the new format, having a good start to the season, the recent test at Charlotte Motor Speedway for the possible 2016 package, and more. Full Transcript:

WITH A MILLION DOLLARS ON THE LINE, AND STRATEGY ALWAYS PLAYING A BIG ROLE IN THE ALL-STAR RACE, DO YOU HAVE A GAME PLAN FOR TOMORROW NIGHT?
KAHNE: “Yeah, I think there definitely is. I think you have to qualify pretty well, first and you want to try to start as close to the front as you can to get as many points throughout those rounds as possible. But I think also where you’re running on the track kind helps you decide your strategy. And that’s what Keith and our engineers will do throughout the race. They’ll figure that out. My job is to just go as hard as you can every lap and pass the car in front of you.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Charlotte Sprint Showdown–Kasey Kahne →
