DRIVER MICHAEL MCDOWELL:
“This weekend is a big one for us. We want to take advantage of it. It’s going to be a real fight for these playoffs spots now throughout the summer. Every race will matter. We have a good chance at Talladega. It’s just a matter of executing, putting ourselves in the right position at the end and being there on the final lap.”
CREW CHIEF TRAVIS PETERSON:
“I feel like we have learned a lot about this car to run up front, we’ve showed we have speed at the superspeedways. At the same time, you never know what you will get out of races at Talladega. We just need to keep out of trouble and position ourselves well for the stage ends and race finish.”
