“New Hampshire is a tough track. Obviously track position is very important due to the track’s size and it can also be a tough place to navigate traffic. I remember winning there in 2012 for Hendrick Motorsports and what a great feeling that was. It was neat to receive congratulations from so many fans and drivers.”

“It will be my first time racing at New Hampshire in a Cup car, so I’m sure that will have some new challenges from what the XFINITY cars brought the past couple of years. It’s going to be different, but I’m hoping we can go and try to figure it out.”
Chase Elliott
“We’ve had a tough stretch here lately. I hate it for my Lowe’s team. This sport is tough and humbling. I’m glad we have another week to turn things around. New Hampshire is a scrappy track – it's tough. We’ve run decent there lately but haven't been challenging for the win. I love visiting the area – there are great places to ride bikes and get outdoors. This is a busy week with the Brickyard test but hopefully it will be productive.”
Jimmie Johnson
“I enjoy racing at New Hampshire. The track is great. It’s always been one of my favorite stops – it’s always a nice challenge to figure out how to get around the track itself and the racing is pretty fun. I just want to get a win there. We’ve been a top-five or top-10 car pretty much every trip, but we’ve never had the fastest car. It seems like such a short race, so you need to be the guy. There seems to always be one guy who just stands out above the rest of the field, so hopefully the opportunity we had to test there is going to give us a chance.”
