David Starr and Travis Kvapil head to Dover International Speedway this weekend for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race. Starr, driving the No. 10 International/MAXX Force Diesel Ford F-150 talks about returning to Dover where he holds the track qualifying record and Kvapil, who is seventh in points, seeks to break into the top five in points in his No. 6 K&N Engineering Ford F-150.

Thoughts on heading back to Dover. "I'm pretty excited for our International/MAXX Force Diesel Ford F-150. It is going to be good this week at Dover. I love that place; it's fun. We've always been real competitive there. Dennis Conner and all the guys on the team are all excited; they've got the truck ready back at the shop. It's going to be a good race. The competition in the truck series is fierce, but we are ready to go. Our trucks are ready and Rick and I are looking forward getting to Dover. We're looking forward to getting back in the top-10 week in and week out. The guys on International/MAXX Force team are working real hard. Having a teammate like Rick and his crew chief "Cowboy"[Kevin Starland] really help build and maintain the momentum. So, we are looking forward to getting back to Dover."

The books show you hold the qualifying track record: "We'll, I like that place. I like them all, but I like to go fast with the high banks and concrete at that track. It's just fun. You run it deep into the corner, roll out of it for a split second get back to the throttle and when the truck is running good, you can really run fast there. I don't know; there's just something about that place that I really like. But everything is different this time - I have a new team, new manufacturer and new sponsor. I'm excited, so hopefully we can go back and do well. Winning the pole is great, but I'd rather not get the pole and win the race. We are looking forward to that race. We believe our Ford F-150 has what it takes to be in victory lane. Circle Bar Racing has a lot of momentum, so we'll try to jump on the bandwagon and be right there at the end."

You haven't been to Dover in the past couple of years. How does it feel to go back? "I'm excited. It's a fun race track; I like it because it has high banks and high speed. It really takes a good handling truck to run well at Dover. We feel like our trucks have been really good the last three or four races; we've had a lot of speed. Although we haven't been able to have good finishes, we've run good throughout the race, have had chances to lead for a while and finish in the top five. I'm excited about the little momentum we have right now. Dover is a great track; it's fast, the trucks should put on a good show. I'm just excited to get going. I haven't run there in the last two years in a truck. I've had a couple top-10s there in the past. We always seem to run well; it helps that it is a track that I like going to, so that's half the battle. This track is fast and high banked. I like race tracks that are high banked and it's concrete, so it kind of adds another element to the weekend. It's another component we need to think about in the handling package, so it's a unique race track - it's something different."
