AUSTIN DILLON QUOTES:

What are your expectations going back to Indianapolis Motor Speedway?

“Indianapolis Motor Speedway has been good for our No. 3 Get Bioethanol team. We’ve been able to have solid races in the past. Last year, we had a pretty good qualifying effort starting 11th. I’m excited to get there. Speed is something I like. That track is very line-sensitive with trying to hit your marks as precisely as you can. You’re looking for those white lines and just trying to put the car in the perfect place. From our standpoint, we should have a good Chevrolet going from Richard Childress Racing, and the ECR engines always run well on those types of tracks. It’s good to have straightaway speed on a track that’s tough to pass at.”

You’ve won two out of the four Crown Jewel races on the NASCAR Cup Series schedule. How special would it be to get another one in the Brickyard 400?

“It would be huge for me and everyone at Richard Childress Racing to win at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. I think only four or five drivers have won all four in the past, and it would be special to add one more to that list.”

Kyle Busch and the No. 8 zone Chevrolet at Indianapolis Motor Speedway… Kyle Busch will make his 18th career NASCAR Cup Series start at Indianapolis Motor Speedway during Sunday’s Brickyard 400. Over his previous 17 starts at the track, he has completed 2,570 of 2,749 laps (93.5 percent) competed and finished inside the top-10 in 70.6 percent of those races. Busch has scored two Brickyard 400 victories and holds an average finishing position of 12.8.

A First to Remember… In 2015, Busch secured his maiden Cup Series win at the iconic oval in Speedway, Indiana. The Las Vegas, Nevada native maintained the lead on the final restart and held off a late-race charge from Joey Logano during a green-white-checkered finish.

Speedway Success… Busch has a strong track record at speedways over two miles in length. Throughout his career, the two-time Cup Series Champion has racked up 15 wins, 55 top-five finishes, 87 top-10 finishes, and has led a total of 2,875 laps.

KYLE BUSCH QUOTES:

What expectations do you have of going into the Brickyard 400 this weekend?

“I love coming to Indianapolis Motor Speedway. I’ve had a lot of success over the years and have won the Brickyard 400 twice. We should have won it in 2017 and got wrecked out on a late restart. The Chevrolet camp has been really fast over the years. I think we should be pretty close heading into Sunday. We had a fast No. 8 Chevrolet last year. We were right there in the top-five coming down on the closing laps, and Kyle Larson stole the win, so we want to improve this weekend and get a win.”

How would you assess your season so far?

“It is not due to a lack of effort. Everybody at Richard Childress Racing is working as hard as they can to figure it out, looking at all the notes to find out where the speed is at. The balance and drivability of the cars have been good this year, and we’ve had good improvements over the last couple months.”

Jesse Love and the No. 2 Whelen Chevrolet at Indianapolis Motor Speedway… Jesse Love has made one career NASCAR Xfinity Series start at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, driving the No. 2 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet last season.

JESSE LOVE QUOTE:

Describe racing at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

“I’m comfortable with racing at Indianapolis. With our Xfinity Series package, I wish we had big horsepower so we could make moves. I say that and last year’s race had a pretty crazy finish, but for the most part, it’s sometimes lully. Our Whelen Chevrolet should be good there though. We are going way differently than we were last year. Racing double duty should be fun too, so looking forward to that. The goal is to learn as much as I can both days and prepare.”

AUSTIN HILL QUOTES:

Indianapolis Motor Speedway is one of the most historic tracks in all of motorsports. Does that give any extra motivation for drivers, knowing the place carries emotion?

“Yeah, for me personally, every racetrack we go to, I treat them all the same way. I just want to go out there and do the best job that I can for our No. 21 Bennett team. But in saying that, Indianapolis is special and carries so much history, so it does add a little bit extra to the piece of the pie. Going into that race, you want to leave there victorious, and you want to be the one holding the trophy up.”

Describe racing at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

“It’s a very unique racetrack with four different corners. And then on top of that, last year we ran with our speedway, restricted plate package which put a whole different element into the racing. It’s a cool place to go to when you’re going down the front stretch and have the stands on both sides. It almost feels like you get tunnel vision for a second down the front stretch. Overall, it’s a really, really cool event.”
