Michigan Qualifying Quotes

KASEY KAHNE, No. 9 Budweiser Ford Fusion
Qualified 4th
"It felt good. I think the car was balanced really well and the engine ran well. I was happy with it, especially for not doing a qualifying run in practice. The guys did a good job. I felt like that was a good lap, it was a very solid lap."

ELLIOTT SADLER, No. 19 Stanley Ford Fusion
Qualified 11th
"We struggled a little when we unloaded and the guys made some good changes. I feel really good about that run. That is the best the car has been all day and that is a good time to have that. We are racing for a million dollars this weekend so we want to have a good starting spot. That should put us somewhere in the top 15 or 16."

PAUL MENARD, No. 98 Menards Ford Fusion
Qualified 22nd
"We really struggled in practice and tried to go back to how we unloaded and the car ended up better I had a really good one and two and drove it is a little hard on three, then I killed it on four. Hopefully we get two practices in tomorrow. I screwed up today. The car is a lot better than that. Hopefully we get practice in tomorrow."

AJ ALLMENDINGER, No. 43 Best Buy Ford Fusion
Qualified 26th
"It wasn't good. I don't know what happened out there but we were not very good. This place confuses me sometimes. We just need to be better than that. I don't think weather played into it because Kurt Busch just ran a 37.8, we aren't even close."
