RYAN BLANEY, No. 12 Menards/Maytag Ford Mustang — Qualified 1st
“I thought it was a pretty decent lap. You just hope you make the right changes to try to get a little bit better and everyone else is trying to do the same thing. I got a little bit tight in 3 and 4 and that worried me a little bit but overall the car had great speed in it and has had really good speed all day. I appreciate everyone’s help. It is a nice place to start for tomorrow.”
AUSTIN CINDRIC, No. 2 Autotrader Ford Mustang — Qualified 8th
“Every weekend I have been peaking in qualifying so hopefully I didn’t peak in practice this week. it has been a good start to the weekend for our Mustang. I thought our 1 and 2 was really awesome and I missed the bottom a bit in 3 and 4. I had to downshift and that wasn’t pretty. Overall, I am pretty happy. The Fords seem to be fast so we will keep digging tomorrow.”
CHASE BRISCOE, No. 14 Mahindra Tractors Ford Mustang — Qualified 6th
“I still didn’t do a very good job. I got down there in 1 and 2 and was too tight across the center and then into 3 I was pretty sideways and felt like I gave up quite a bit of time. I probably gave up a tenth on both ends. I should have a decent starting spot for our Mahindra Tractors Ford and I have a really good race car for tomorrow so that is all that matters.”
JOEY LOGANO, No. 22 Shell Pennzoil Ford Mustang — Qualified 10th
“I thought I was good and just fed it a little more throttle to get a little more speed off the corner and it just snapped. We caught the fence a little bit but I think it is good. I don’t think we will have to do much to fix it, We should be good to go.”
