MATT KENSETH'S CREW CHIEF JIMMY FENNIG TALKS ABOUT THE CAR THEY ARE BRINGING TO CHARLOTTE THIS WEEK: "We’re bringing our race-winning car from Texas because it was strong all race long. Adjustability is the key to finding success during the Coke 600 since the track conditions will change a lot as the sun sets from the start of the race. Matt has had very successful races here at Charlotte, so I hope we earn another great finish for our team on Sunday.”........................JEFF GORDON'S CREW CHIEF ALAN GUFTAFSON ON THEIR CHASSIS CHOICE THIS WEEK: “That wasn’t going to happen last Saturday night since no points were on the line. But it did offer us a chance to learn as much as we could for the 600. We’re bringing the same car back, and we know the tendencies of this car since we practiced it during the day last week and raced it at night.”...........................
Jimmie Johnson will pilot chassis No. 659 in Sunday’s 600-mile event. He finished 15th in that car at Darlington Raceway on May 7.........................
Kyle Busch's chassis choice this week doesn't look like a great one. No top fives in it's five starts. In its most recent start at Texas in April, Busch started 11th and ran within the top-five before a loose wheel caused an unscheduled green-flag pit stop and relegated him to a 16th-place finish...........................
Jamie McMurray was winner of the fall 2010 Charlotte race and runner-up in the 2010 Coca-Cola 600. They are bringing the same car that raced last weekend in the Sprint All-Star race where McMurray started ninth and finished 17th. This car had problems all night. We'll see if they learned anything from the that performance.........................
Carl Edwrads will be bringing chassis RK-765 to CMS. This is a brand new chassis with the final Scotts EZ Seed paint scheme of the season....................
David Ragan will be driving the same car that sat on the pole in Texas and finished seventh..................
Clint Bowyer's chassis, built new for the 2011 season, last saw action in April at Texas Motor Speedway when Bowyer led 44 laps en route to a runner-up finish..........................
Kevin Harvick will race chassis No. 353. This is a brand new No. 29 chassis that will make its on-track debut this weekend.
