Talladega Qualifying Quotes

AJ ALLMENDINGER - No. 43 Best Buy Ford Fusion
Qualified 16th
"It was smooth. That was as fast as I could make the car go. You're kind of just out there hanging out, so we'll see where we start. The Best Buy Ford will be good and now we just have to go and start texting some people in the driver bus lot and get some friends."

HOW MUCH STEERING INPUT DO YOU USE TO STAY SMOOTH HERE? "As little as you can. You're just trying to take everything away that will scrub speed off. There's not a lot of stuff the driver can do to help it, but there's a lot of stuff he can do to hurt it, so it is what it is."

MARCOS AMBROSE - No. 9 DeWalt Ford Fusion
Qualified 24th
"We were a little disappointed in qualifying trim and we thought we could have been a little better, but it doesn't make a whole lot of difference around this place. It's a quiet day for the drivers. There's not much you can do out there to make any difference, so I'm looking forward to Sunday's race. I've had good runs here in the past and some pretty bad ones too, so we'll just see what it gives us and not get greedy."
