TEAM CHEVY QUALIFYING NOTES AND QUOTES

MAY 17, 2013

 
 
KURT BUSCH WILL START ON THE FRONT ROW FOR SATURDAY NIGHT’S ALL-STAR RACE
 
CONCORD, N.C. – May 17, 2013 – Kurt Busch, No. 78 Furniture Row/Sealy Chevrolet SS, posted the second-fastest time of the 19 drivers who have earned spots in the 29th NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway.   Busch ran a time of 111.297 seconds and average speed of 144.068 mph in the unique qualifying format that included three laps and a four-tire pit stop.  
 
With Busch on the front row, there are a total of three Team Chevy drivers who will start tomorrow night’s non-points race in the top-10.  Kasey Kahne, No. 5 Farmers Chevrolet SS, qualified ninth and his Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jeff Gordon, No. 24 Cromax Pro Chevrolet SS, will start 10th.  So far, a total of eight Chevrolet SS drivers have already earned spots for tomorrow night’s event.   Two more drivers will race their way in via the Sprint Showdown race, while one more will be voted in by the fans to round out a 22-car field for the All-Star race.
 
Martin Truex, Jr. (Toyota) won the pole for the Sprint Showdown while Earnhardt Ganassi drivers Jamie McMurray, No. 1 Bass Pro Shops/National Wild Turkey Foundation Chevrolet SS, qualified on the outside front row in second and Juan Pablo Montoya, No. 42 Target Chevrolet SS, was third.
 
Carl Edwards (Ford) won the pole for the All-Star race, Greg Biffle (Ford) qualified third, Kyle Busch (Toyota) was fourth, and Joey Logano (Ford) was fifth to round out the top-five starting positions.
 
The NASCAR Sprint All Star Race is set to start under the lights on Saturday, May 18th at 9:00 p.m. ET, and will be aired live on SPEED.   The Sprint Showdown will also air on SPEED and will begin at 7:00 pm ET. 
 
 
NASCAR SPRINT SHOWDOWN QUALIFYING QUOTES:
 
JAIME MCMURRAY, NO. 1 BASS PRO SHOPS/NATIONAL WILD TURKEY FOUNDATION CHEVROLET SS – QUALIFIED SECOND:
IT DROPPED ABOUT FOUR DEGREES. HOW ON-EDGE WAS YOUR LAP?
“It was pretty good. I got a little bit loose in Turn 3 but overall the grip from practice was a lot better. I don’t know about the rest of the teams, but for us I remember testing here when it was only 50 degrees. So to come this afternoon and test when it was 90 degrees out because it is a totally different track. It was a lot different. The set-ups we had from January were somewhat irrelevant. Out Bass Pro Chevy, I thought, was good in race trim. And I feel like this will be a good qualifying lap. I don’t know if it will be the pole, but if the sun stays out it might be.”
 
DANICA PATRICK, NO. 10 GODADDY CHEVROLET SS – QUALIFIED SEVENTH:
“I feel like we’ve made improvements throughout the day. We had a good debrief with Tony (Stewart) and Ryan (Newman) and I feel like maybe something that we did for qualifying might have been worth some grip in the middle of the corner in front. Hopefully this translates to a good race car; something consistent. Man, it’s just so tough in the middle of the day when it’s so hot and slippery out there. But I feel like we made some progress and hopefully we have a good race car for tomorrow. I’d love to race my way in and that’s the plan.”
 
NASCAR SPRINT ALL-STAR QUALIFYING QUOTES:
DALE EARNHARDT JR., NO. 88 NATIONAL GUARD CHEVROLET SS – QUALIFIED: 15TH
HOW WAS QUALIFYING WITH THE PIT STOP?
“It was pretty good. We had a loose lug nut on the left front, so I guess it’s going to cost us a lot of time. But I think I put together a good run.  I liked the pit stop. I liked having the pit crew involved. Getting onto pit road speed. I liked that. It’s pretty crazy. I’m that’s not how we have to do it every week like the old days because that would definitely get your attention. You really wouldn’t be looking forward to any pit stops getting tires like we do now. But I think we did a good job. We just had a little miscue on the car on the stop, but otherwise I think we put a good show on for ourselves and I’m pretty happy about that effort.  I liked practice. I thought practice was really good. I thought that we had good speed and the car has good handling. We’re just not going to get the starting position we wanted and we’re going to have to work real hard all night and kind of an uphill climb.”
 
JIMMIE JOHNSON, NO. 48 LOWE’S PATRIOTIC CHEVROLET SS – QUALIFIED: 18TH
COULD YOU FEEL THAT THE CAR WASN’T ABLE TO STOP?
‘Oh yeah, oh yeah. I started wheel-hopping and that was a big problem trying to get it stopped. I scared them from pit road with my entry speed. I put a big effort up there but unfortunately just didn’t have the car under control to brake its own and the back tires started bouncing at that point and I knew I wasn’t going to stop in my box. I was just trying to avoid spinning out. It was different.”
 
POST QUALIFYING DRIVER PRESS CONFERENCE TRANSCRIPT:
 
KURT BUSCH, NO. 78 FURNITURE ROW/SEALY CHEVROLET SS – QUALIFIED THIRD:
THE ALL-STAR RACE IS A BIG EVENT FOR SPRINT CUP SERIES DRIVERS TOMORROW NIGHT. DO YOU THINK YOU CAN GET TO VICTORY LANE?
“I think we’re definitely in a good position. Our team continues to define speed each and every week. To unload today and to have a good practice session and then to execute coming on top pit road at 157 mph, it’s pretty wild. It’s like a step back in time when you get a chance to throw caution to the wind and let it rip coming on pit road. It was fun. Thanks to Mike Helton and John Darby and Robin Pemberton for coming up with that rules change. When I first heard about it I was really excited and gave it my best effort. We were right there. The pit crew had a nice steady stop; it just wasn’t the fastest stop. And so we fine ourselves outside pole, but we find ourselves in a great position for being up front and for trying to win that first segment. And then to see how it goes from there. We want to be up front early in the race. It’ll now direct us in a different pattern, probably, for out pit strategy for the four segments. We just need good average finishes with the way they’re going to do the line-up on the final segment. To be in the top-five all night is where we hope to be. The guys on the team just need a nice steady night. No big drama and just have a smooth night and I think we’ll be in the mix.”
 
HOW DID YOU GAUGE HOW FAST YOU COULD GO ON PIT ROW? DID PRACTICE HELP YOU WITH THAT OR WERE YOU LOOKING FOR A MARK? HOW DID YOU FIGURE THAT?
“I just found a mark and used it for a braking marker like you would at a road course. And so the only thing that’s a little different is the tires only have a lap and a half of heat and the brakes have no heat at all. So in practice, the tires had more heat and the brakes had more heat so the car was going to be more consistent in practice. So I just came in a little conservative. I didn’t want to overshoot the pit box, but I think our mile per hour was 157. There was only one guy who was quicker than us getting into the pit box with that trap speed. The trap speed is one thing, and that’s what I learned in drag racing versus the whole elapsed time, and that is the deceleration rate getting into the pit box. So it was just a point that I picked. I practiced it twice and then executed on the third time.
 
ASSUMING THAT CARL EDWARDS WAS JOKING, THIS IS NOT A GOOD SYSTEM FOR A REGULAR RACE, IS IT?
“I don’t know what Carl Edwards said.”
 
HE SAID, ‘HEY, WE COULD DO THIS EVERY WEEKEND’. THAT’S PROBABLY NOT A GOOD IDEA, RIGHT?
“Yeah, that’s one of the remarks I made earlier about throwing caution to the wind and that’s because we have a controlled environment with only one car on pit road at a time and the crew guys had to wait until the car came to a complete stop. Yeah, we can’t have cars doing 157 miles an hour on the entry to pit road. Imagine being in that 43rd box and having cars zip by you that fast. It was just a fun treat to do this All-Star weekend. It’s just the whole atmosphere.
 
“Tonight is military appreciation night at Furniture Row so I’m headed from here to the store, which is just a couple of miles away, to shake hands with our military guys and have a soda pop with them. We’re running the banner that’s on the cars supporting our military and so we hope we’re able to deliver for those guys and support our troops. It’s always fun to kick it off this weekend with Armed Forces Day on Saturday and with next week being Memorial Day. I’ve just got to thank Barney Visser and this whole team. We’re definitely finding some speed and we’re showing some results. It’s been a good feeling.”
 
WILL THERE BE A PROBLEM RE-ADJUSTING WHEN YOU HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE OLD SPEED LIMIT ON PIT ROAD?  DO YOU THINK IT WILL CAUSE PEOPLE TO SPEED IN THE NEXT RACE?
“Well, it’s just the green-flag stops that will cross your mind when that happens. But for the All-Star race, there’s a caution every 20 laps, I think we’ll have everybody under control. But it was just fun to do it. It was fun to do something different and give a moment of throwback when speeds were above 150 coming on pit road. It was pretty wild. Edwards and those guys executed well and their pit stop I think was 1.2-seconds quicker than ours and they beat us by 1.1. It was definitely fun challenging the other drivers to go fast on pit road.”
 
I UNDERSTAND YOU GOT YOUR OPPORTUNITY IN LAS VEGAS IN LATE MODELS BECAUSE OF A TRAGEDY IN THE DICK TRICKLE FAMILY. YOU ACTUALLY RACED AGAINST DICK. CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THAT AND GIVE US YOUR THOUGHTS ON HIM AND HIS PASSING?
“You know, when I was growing up running in Vegas the Trickle family was the racing family in the city. It was Chuck Trickle was the dad, Chris Trickle was the son, and they were known as the big name. And we always looked up to those guys on how they raced and how their demeanor was outside of the car and inside the car. Yeah, I did get a chance to race against Dick Trickle once. It was at Slinger Speedway in Wisconsin. He was there in a driver’s meeting. It’s 3:30 in the afternoon and he’s got a cigarette in one hand and he’s got his coffee in the other hand and we hung out and shared some stories.
 
“And just all those stories you heard about Dick, it made you think that wow, one person has done all of this. He’s lived an extraordinary life and it was always fun when he was at the track. And when you were there racing against him, you knew he was always going to have a smile on his face. Jeff Gordon always told the story on when you knew you were going back to green when the cigarette butt came flying out the window and hitting the track. And so there are a lot of good Dick Trickle stories out there. The boys on ESPN were always showing his highlights even though he was running 38th. It would just get a chuckle about his name. But he was a true hero on the short tracks. You don’t win a thousand races by accident. A guy that comes up in my mind today that really takes over for short track America with a name in history like that is Steve Kinser. And we’re all going to miss Dick. I need to find Chuck Trickle. I need to reach out to him.
 
“I got my opportunity in Late Models when Chris Trickle was tragically shot in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas. I was actually away at college in Tucson, Arizona and the phone rang and they said that Chris had been in an accident. Of upmost concern of course was coming back to see him in the hospital and to hold his hand and to try to help him through it. But he never was able to pull through. He spent over 13 months in a coma from the injury. And that opened up the door for me to be able to jump in that car and take it to a championship in the Southwest Tour. So it’s tough to lose another Trickle. That’s to say the least.”

CHARLOTTE MOTOR SPEEDWAY

TEAM CHEVY DRIVER PRESS CONFERENCE TRANSCRIPT

MAY 17, 2013

 
JIMMIE JOHNSON, NO. 48 LOWE’S PATRIOTIC CHEVROLET, met with members of the media at Charlotte Motor Speedway and discussed last year’s All-Star Race win, his thoughts on the format for this year’s All-Star race and other topics.  Full Transcript:
 
THIS IS THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF YOUR FIRST SPRINT ALL-STAR WIN AND IF YOU WERE TO GET A FOURTH ALL-STAR WIN YOU WOULD HAVE SOLE POSITION OF THE ALL-TIME WIN RECORD.  TALK ABOUT HEADING INTO THIS WEEKEND TRYING TO GRAB THAT FOURTH ON SATURDAY:
“I’m pumped.  I’m happy to be home. Happy to have the support from Sprint they have done such an amazing job of supporting our racing series.  To have this weekend and all that goes on with our All-Star event it’s just really cool.  I’m thankful for what they do for myself and all of us in this room and all of us in the sport.  It’s going to be a cool night.  They put an extra million bucks up.  We will see if somebody can ring that bell.  The format has changed.  We will see how that plays out.  Clearly you want to start as close as you can to the front in that final segment and have a shot at winning.  We will all be trying real hard through each and every segment to get that done.  If I am the lucky one to win and fortunate one to win, I will be very happy to beat two guys that I have idolized by whole career, Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt, Sr. on wins in this particular event.  We will see what happens.”
 
HOW DOES THE WAY THEY HAVE CHANGED THE RULES CHANGE HOW YOU APPROACH THE RACE? DO YOU THINK IT’S REALISTIC THAT ONE GUY CAN LEAD ALL FIVE SEGMENTS?
“Yeah, I think there is a good chance.  It’s not going to be easy.  Last year’s format whoever won that first segment had a free pass for the rest of the night.  If they didn’t turn it into a test session they would have been foolish to not handle things the way we did.  We played the game right and it paid off.  We left with a million dollar check and a cool trophy.  That is our job as teams and drivers is to figure out how to beat the system.  I remember one year, Jeff Burton was going to take the checkered on pit road after he finished a pit stop.  It’s fun to have those opportunities to think like that and to find an advantage that others don’t.  Some maybe upset with the way we won last year, I take great pride in it.  We worked the system and did a good job.  That’s not going to work this year you’ve got to run hard.  I think there is a chance. I think that it’s a long shot.  With the competition that exists in the All-Star Race it’s going to be a long shot, but it’s worth it and it will bring some excitement.  If somebody does ring that bell it will be a hell of a party.”
 
DO YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT THE FORMAT FOR THE ALL-STAR RACE OR THINK ABOUT OR HAVE EMOTION ABOUT THE FORMAT? TALKING ABOUT THE GUYS JUMPING OVER PIT ROAD AND HOW YOU MAY STOP DIFFERENTLY I WOULD LIKE TO ASK ABOUT THAT AS WELL: 
“The format I think every team looks at it and says ‘alright the million bucks is after that final segment. I need to start as close as I can to the front.  How do I do that?’ Depending on the year there are different formats from inversions. When there is an inversion and it’s a fan vote you know they are going to want to see a big inversion so there is always a group of guys fighting for fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth on the race track. They do away with the inversion or it’s a random and then you’ve got to take a guess at it.  But you are assuming the winner of that final segment or whatever it is, is going to get the pole position.  The last year was far different and we played that game perfectly.  This year’s game is go fast.  You have to go fast to have a shot to win this thing.  Ideally starting on that front row is key.  So, that is going to be the game we play and everybody is going to work real hard to maintain track position and try to win segments. 
 
“Pit road and no qualifying speed, I remember watching it and it was exciting just watching it.  Now I’m going to be a part of it and man I hope we get a chance to really practice it.  Getting off of the banking at that speed and I assume accelerating again to get down pit road and how slick pit road is, it’s going to be exciting (laughs).  I remember watching on television and (Jeff) Gordon came off and slide right to the edge of the grass and was on the throttle. Then tried to slow it down and all of his crew guys, I think (Chad) Knaus might have been on the team too.  Standing there on the pit wall waiting for the car to come to a stop and it just blew right on by, four or five stalls past.  I would assume we will see a little bit of that tonight with guys getting real aggressive and trying to get to their pit box.”
 
IS 15 MINUTES ENOUGH TO PRACTICE GETTING ON AND OFF OF PIT ROAD, LIFT POINTS, BRAKE POINTS, ALL THAT SORT OF THING OR WOULD YOU LIKE A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME TO WORK ON THAT?
“I would like some more time.  The biggest reason is 20 cars trying to go through that is going to be chaotic.  Trying to find a clear opening, if it was 30 minutes you could kind of wait until things calmed down and then get out there and try again.  The amount of time is fine, it’s just the space that we have to work in is confined with a lot of vehicles.  Maybe if they let three or four guys go at a time over 15 minutes you could all get two or three clean attempts and learn a lot more from that than I think a free for all like what we are going to have.  The spotters will earn their keep today in that 15 minute practice session trying to find clean holes so we can get it done.”
 
IS MONEY THE ONLY MOTIVATION THIS WEEKEND? OR IS WINNING PROVING PEOPLE WRONG WHO SAID YOU WON THE FIRST SEGMENT WRONG? OR IS THERE MORE YOU HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH IN TERMS OF GETTING ANOTHER CHAMPIONSHIP THIS YEAR?
“I think there’s an order. First and foremost, there’s that big check. That’s top of the list. And then from there, you work down. And it still is a race against the toughest guys in the field, so a second-place finish isn’t a bad thing. It can help for morale right on down through probably Top-5. You can justify it as a good night and you learn something. There are other people that might not consider themselves (as) a favorite and have a shot to win, so they’re going to experiment and use this weekend as a test session. Even some of the big teams; I know we always try a thing or two here to see if it will work and if we want to bring it back for the 600. And then, the last piece is just laps on a track that we race at with the right tire and with all the competitors here. It just makes the teams better and stronger. So, there are a lot of layers to it, but it’s just kind of in order; and teams do that, you know? If you win, awesome. If not it’s like well, okay. We learned this, and right on down the line.”
 
I KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT CURRENTLY INVOLVED IN A FEUD OR DISPUTE. BUT IF YOU WERE, WOULD THIS BE THE PERFECT PLACE FOR PAYBACK BECAUSE THERE ARE NO POINTS ON THE LINE AND YOU’RE NOT GOING TO TOTALLY TRASH SOMEBODY’S SEASON IF YOU CHOOSE TO GET EVEN?
“It really depends. If somebody harmed you or did you wrong in a points-paying situation, you want to pay him back in a fair manner, which would be during a points-paying event. So, it depends. Everybody has their own motivation and a way that they like to handle things. Nobody is going to give each other a lot of slack here. And if you do get caught-up in a racing accident, you’re more willing to be caught-up and okay with being caught-up in a racing accident here because the points aren’t on the line. So it kind of buys you some slack in a few areas; maybe not as much. You can’t send a message as strong as you want to in others. But at the end of the day, when we get ticked in the car when something happens, you don’t think about those things. So, if that switch had flipped on whomever it is, it could still happen. There really isn’t a clear-cup path or code to it all. But the smart guys, they wouldn’t do it here. They’re going to wait until points are on the line and it has the same impact on that guys as it did to them.”
 
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE SITUATION BETWEEN KASEY KAHNE AND KYLE BUSCH THE LAST FEW WEEKS, YOU WENT THROUGH A STRETCH WITH KURT BUSCH WHERE IT SEEMED LIKE YOU GUYS WERE RUNNING INTO EACH OTHER EVERY WEEK. DOES THAT GET IN YOUR HEAD WHEN YOU SEE HIM ON THE TRACK AFTER REPEATED RUN-INS WITH THE SAME GUY?
CAN TWO GUY’S DRIVING STYLES CONFLICT TO THE POINT THAT THEY STRUGGLE TO RACE ONE ANOTHER?
“After talking to both of them, they’re both frustrated. Kasey has come out on the losing end of it three times and is more frustrated than Kyle. But it’s not like Kyle has an issue with him. There has just been stuff. And we’ve all been through it. I’ve had it with Kurt. I’ve had it with Sterling Marlin in like ’03 or ’04. And it’s really no fun when it happens and you kind of have a magnet for whatever car it is and it goes on and on. The way I’ve been able to break the cycle is you just consciously have to get away. After one wreck and it wasn’t on purpose, you’re like okay. No big deal. Second one happens and you’re like oh man, really honestly, I really didn’t mean to do it. And then if it goes to a third time, you’re like okay. If I see you coming, I’m getting the hell out of the way (laughs). You go by and I’ll go over here. And you just have to try to make it stop that way.”
 
IN TERMS OF AGGRESSION, DO YOU NOTICE ANYTHING DIFFERENT ABOUT HOW DRIVERS RACE THIS RACE?
“Yeah, you’re not going to point a guy by if he’s faster, especially with the average finish of each segment counting towards the final starting order, there will be no pointing guys by and working with one another. It will be door-to-door and you’re going to have to do a slide job or something to clear somebody and get by. So that part will pick-up. But if you’re racing for 10th, it’s going to be a little different than if you’re racing for the lead. You don’t want to tear-up cars and run a half-a-track behind for 10th or something. That doesn’t make a lot of sense. But track position will be very important and it will encourage more side-by-side hard racing.”
 
YOU HAVE A HUGE 44 POINT LEAD OVER EDWARDS AND 59 OVER KENSETH AND YET THE JOE GIBBS RACING CARS HAVE BEEN CONSISTENTLY FASTER THAN THE HENDRICK CARS FOR MOST OF THE SEASON. WHAT DO YOU LOOK AT MORE: THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE A BIG LEAD OR THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE BEEN FASTER?
“They definitely have some speed on the 1.5-mile tracks. I feel like our short-track stuff has been real good. Our plate stuff has been awesome. And we’ve got some mile tracks coming up. Dover has been really good to us and I hope to run well there. But if I were to pick an area we need to improve on, it would be the 1.5-miles. We’re not bad. We’re still getting good finishes. But we don’t have that magic right now. I’m very happy to have this big points lead and would love to lock early as you can imagine. But I don’t know if I’m just making this up for my own good and helping my cause, but I’m glad I’m not peaking-out. We always point that out about the team that gets on a roll and are they peaking too early. I’m not saying those guys are, but I’m glad we don’t have our best stuff right now and we’ve got some time to get there. Hopefully we do.”
 
THERE WASN’T LOT OF OVERLAP BETWEEN YOUR CAREER AND THAT OF DICK TRICKLE. DID YOU KNOW MUCH ABOUT HIM AND DO YOU HAVE ANY THOUGHTS ABOUT HIS DEATH?
“I’m shocked and saddened by it. I didn’t race a lot against Dick. His stories were legendary throughout the ASA and short track racing that I did in the Midwest. I raced a little bit against him in the Nationwide Series. And then where I got to know him the best was racing in the IROC Series. Those practice days were so laid back and relaxed. And with Dave Marcus and Dick being there, we’d all hang out and talk about cars. Hop in your car and run a little bit. Leave the track for lunch and run down to a little spot to eat and come back. And those are the memories that I really have in getting to know Dick and spend time with him. I certainly don’t know the whole story in what’s gone on, but I’m just saddened to hear that he took his life. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and loved ones that are left behind.”
