JASON LEFFLER, No. 38 Great Clips Toyota Camry, Braun Racing
Starting
Position: 3rd
How was your car in qualifying? "It was good, it was wide open. The
Arrington engine, Toyota engine made a lot of power and it ran really
good and it showed here. The car is good and stable in race trim so I'm
looking forward to the race tomorrow."
How has your season been for your team? "It's been a huge improvement
since last season. We're all proud of that. I think we ran so well
early on in the Spring that we expected to win a race by now and then
through the summer we had some harder times. The thing is to finish the
year off like we ran in Memphis. We ran third, we qualified well here
tonight and we have a good race car. If we can do that, we can build
over the winter for next year and win some races."

BRIAN VICKERS, No. 32 Dollar General Toyota Camry, Braun Racing
Starting Position: 9th
How's your Camry so far this weekend? "It was loose. The package we're
running is going to be good for the race but it's definitely not very
conducive to these conditions. The track's really fast, the loads pick
up and you're trying to run around here wide open. I think we'll be
good in the race. Qualifying during the day definitely would have been
better for us, but it's still a decent run."
Can you recap your season with Braun Racing? "It's been a great season.
I had a lot of fun. A little frustrated we haven't won a race this year
with Braun, we've come so close so many times and led a lot of times.
Ultimately it's the trophy we're after so hopefully we can solve that
problem tomorrow."

MIKE BLISS, No. 11 Ridemakerz Toyota Camry, CJM Racing
Starting
Position: 10th
How was your qualifying run? "I guess it was alright. I expected a
little more speed, but it was a little bit free. The track has a lot
more grip and we gained a lot more front grip than I thought -- and I
thought it would be a little bit tighter. It was good. It drove the
same all the way around. We've got a good race car for the race."
Did you have any problem with the wind? "It slowed down since we
started (qualifying). It was blowing pretty hard when we started, but I
don't think it's as bad right now."
TREVOR BAYNE, No. 99 Aaron's Dream Machine Toyota Camry, Michael
Waltrip Racing
Starting Position: 11th
How did your car handle during qualifying? "I don't know how we can
get much more speed out of it. I was close to flat-footing it all the
way around. I guess it's just the movement of the car. It was moving
around. I guess I scrubbed some speed off. I expected a little better
than that. We can't complain about it much. Hopefully, the changes we
made will be better in race trim -- you sacrifice some qualifying with
that. It's not bad and we'll see where it takes us here."
