“I like Bristol. We always put on a pretty cool show up there and I’m sure we will have a great car. I know the track has done a couple of things to the surface to try and bring the bottom groove in, so we’ll see how that goes.”
Kasey Kahne
“I had a really good car at Bristol in the spring. The guys brought a fast car and we learned a lot. I didn’t qualify as well as I had wanted to, but I’m going to work on that going back. We hit on a few things there during practice and the race and I’m looking forward to racing Saturday night.”
Chase Elliott
“Hopefully everyone is well-rested after the off-weekend. I’m looking forward to seeing the track surface changes in the lower groove this weekend at Bristol. We had a great car back in the spring -- the No. 48 Lowe’s Chevy was really comfortable. Either way, its always an exciting race for the fans.”
Jimmie Johnson
“I love coming to Bristol. It’s one of those tracks that brings out the fan in all of us. It’s the one track that I go in the night before and walk over to it when nobody is there. I just look at it and go, ‘Man, this place is cool.’ I walked it earlier this year with (fellow NASCAR on FOX personality) Larry McReynolds never thinking I would be racing at this ‘Colosseum’ again.”
