THE QUOTES
Ricky Stenhouse Jr., No. 6 Blackwell Angus Ford Mustang: WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD SEASON FOR YOU?
“The way we ended last year I feel like we can run top-10 every week. I feel like we can contend for a championship
but definitely we have to go one race at a time and really not worry about the championship until it come down to it. I feel like realistically we can be in the top-10 in points for sure, no questions asked.”
Mike Kelley, Crew Chief, No. 6 Roush Fenway Racing Ford Mustang:
HOW MUCH DIFFERENT IS THIS RACE GOING TO BE THAN LAST YEAR?
“A lot of scenarios are different. We’re taking a new-style race car to a track that we haven’t got to test at or race at yet. We’re really fortunate here at Roush to have the notes from Carl’s [Edwards] Cup car that won the race out there in the fall. I think we’re going there with a good baseline. Ricky really excelled in this car last year.”
