Mechanical Issue Shortens Brian Scott’s day at Talladega Superspeedway
In only his 10th NASCAR Sprint Cup Series start, Brian Scott and the No. 33 Shore Lodge Chevrolet qualified in the 16th position for the GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. Scott suffered a mechanical issue on lap 19 that caused an accident in turn one and ended the day for the Joe Falk Racing entry. Scott will return to the wheel of the No. 33 ACME / Kraft Singles Chevrolet SS at Dover International Speedway.
Start – 16 Finish – 43 Laps Led – 0 Points – N/A
Brian Scott Quote:
“I have to apologize to the other teams that we took out. Of course the bad thing about Talladega Superspeedway is when something happens other cars are all around you, unfortunate short end to our day. ECR engines and RCR everybody at the shop does a great job. The horsepower, our engines everything has been great. On the NASCAR XFINITY Series side they ran flawlessly. I hate it for our partners Shore Lodge, Whitetail, Albertsons, everybody to have our day ruined so early.”

KASEY KAHNE, NO. 5 FARMERS INSURANCE CHEVROLET SS – Involved in a multi-car accident on lap 46
WHAT HAPPENED?
“I don’t really know I was on the outside so I couldn’t really see what was going on. I saw him try to really ditch the No. 6 for a while inside, middle, wherever he was at I saw him trying to ditch him. Then I saw him wreck in front of me. I don’t know what happened there if someone hit him, or he spun. I felt like our Farmers Insurance Chevy was pretty fast. All the Hendrick cars are. It is discouraging but we will get it fixed and try to pass the guys that wrecked.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Talladega–Post Race Quotes

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
