Pocono Post-Qualifying Quotes

KASEY KAHNE, No. 9 Budweiser Ford Fusion
Qualified 8th
ON HIS QUALIFYING RUN "It felt pretty good. The car was balanced and I thought we made pretty good speed; we were just a little bit off of some of those guys. It was a pretty good lap. The guys did a nice job, but I am surprised we weren't a little bit quicker. The car feels good, it feels like the lap is good and the car is good, we just have to get a little bit more out of it I guess.

WHAT IS THE KEY FOR SUCCESS ON SUNDAY? "We just need to have a good practice tomorrow and get the car balanced ^a get it like it is right now, but for race trim. If we can do that we should have a good race day."

PAUL MENARD, No. 98 Menards Ford Fusion
Qualified 33rd
ON HIS QUALIFYING RUN "We really struggled in practice and tried to go back to how we unloaded and the car ended up better in qualifying. It still isn't fast enough though. Hopefully the weather holds out tomorrow and we can work on it."

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS RACE TRACK? "It is a cool track. If we came here once a year it would be perfect. It is a unique track for sure. There are a lot of parts about it that are a lot of fun and a lot of parts that aren't a lot of fun. It is a good mix."
