Carl Edwards, No. 60 Fastenal Ford (Finished 2nd)

“Congrats to Brad. He was doing a really good job. I have to thank Fastenal, Ford and I hope folks tune in tomorrow. It is going to be a great race. The first race of the Chase and there couldn’t be a better race track to run at. It has multiple grooves and it is a really fun place. I just wish we had gotten a caution to get another chance at this one.”

Ricky Stenhouse Jr., No. 6 Ricky vs. Trevor Ford (Finished 8th)

“Obviously I don’t feel like we made the car any better all day. We didn’t really ever get that track position that we needed and we could run decent lap times all day just couldn’t run up there good enough as what we needed. We started out too tight, then we were too loose the whole time. It sucks we can’t run up there with Carl and Brad like we have been every week. We have to definitely work on our stuff in practice and get it better.”

Trevor Bayne, No. 16 Ricky vs. Trevor Ford (Finished 11th)

“Our car was better than we showed today. We had one bad run and no cautions after that. We lost all our track position and then I got to pit road too hot and didn’t commit and had to go back around and lost a little bit of time there. The car was really fast so it is frustrating that we didn’t get a caution or anything to catch back up and make a run at them. I think we could have been a top five car there. It was really kind of a long boring race out there. We were just riding out there for 130 laps. They did a good job on my Ford Mustang. I just wish we would have gotten a better finish for it.”
