Daytona - Qualifying Quotes

MARCOS AMBROSE - No. 9 Stanley Ford Fusion
Qualified 13th
"It's the first time with my crew and I'm really excited to drive this number 9 car for Stanley and Richard Petty Motorsports. It's just a real thrill for me and it's just good to get one in the books. We picked up from yesterday and when you can do that, you've got to be happy."

AJ ALLMENDINGER - No. 43 Best Buy Ford Fusion
Qualified 19th
"Unless you get on the front row it doesn't really matter, but it's more of a moral victory for the crew chief. We've been pretty slow and we all have competition about where we're gonna qualify, so it was cool to see. For me, I didn't do anything, but for as much speed as we picked up, we picked up about a half-second from where we were in practice, which is really tough to do. In the end, it doesn't change the 500 at all, but it's more of a moral victory. We're having fun."
