Bobby Labonte on racing at The Brickyard:
"It should be a great weekend in Indy after a weekend off. During the
off weekend it was nice to get away with Donna and the kids for a few
days, but now it's time to get back in the saddle and prepare for this
weekend's race at the Brickyard. To be a past winner at Indy is huge and
I'm reminded of that win every time we drive into the track. It was a
special day for sure. As for this weekend, I know Ben (Leslie) and the
No. 96 Ask.com guys have worked hard on getting our Ford Fusion ready to
go. It should be a solid weekend."
Crew chief Ben Leslie on racing at The Brickyard:
"I am looking forward to a solid run in Indy this weekend. Everyone on
the team is recharged after a weekend off and ready to go. Indy is such
a special place for everyone because of all the history there, and Bobby
won there in 2000 so he certainly knows how to get around that track."
