Travis Kvapil on racing at Martinsville Speedway: "I've come close to winning at Martinsville a couple of times inthe truck series. I grew up, like we all did, short track racing on the half-miles back home in late models. I always feel comfortable going to Martinsville, it's a demanding race and it's very hard on equipment, but I feel it's a race we have a chance to win. We had a really good test there a few weeks ago. All the Roush Fenway Fords were strong, and I think with the right pit strategy we'll have a shot at the win."
Crew Chief Chad Norris on racing at Martinsville Speedway: "After the conclusion of the two-day test in Martinsville we have very high hopes going back to Martinsville for the race. We worked on a lot of things throughout the two days and got the Zaxby's F- 150 pretty fast in qualifying and in race trim also. We look forward to having a chance to race for the win in the closing laps."
