"We had our ups and downs this weekend through practice and qualifying. We had a lot of potential for a good run in the All-Star Open tonight and tried to set ourselves up to advance to the All-Star Race by staying out during a couple of cautions, but didn’t have the best restarts - especially in traffic - and ultimately came home P11. I’m proud that we were able to support the Niner Nation Unites campaign on our No. 36 Surface Sunscreen/Tunity Ford this weekend and I’m looking forward to coming back to Charlotte Motor Speedway again next weekend."

"We were there in the top three or four at times, but you really needed to be that first or second car. I felt like there were five or six guys that could have won every one of those stages and it was all about track position and restarts, getting the right runs at the right time and having somewhere to take the runs. We made up a couple of spots on restarts and then we lost a few spots the very next one, but we learned a few things for the direction of our mile-and-a-half cars and maybe a few things to transfer to the 600. It was a fun Open. I wish we could have advanced, but we’ll work hard to do better next time."
