KYLE BUSCH, No. 18 NOS Energy Drink Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing
Finishing Position: 1st
What is it about Phoenix that you’ve been so successful in the XFINITY Series?
“I don’t know. It’s just a knack for this place I guess. You know, we’ve been off a little bit on the Cup side for years but here we seem to be a lot better. Last year we improved a lot. But, the XFINITY program it’s always been. I’m not sure why. I can’t say enough about Chris Gayle (crew chief) and everyone at Joe Gibbs Racing. Obviously, did a great job for me giving me the car that I needed and prepared everything for today’s race. We didn’t sit on the pole but our teammates did. They were obviously really fast and they made me run hard all day long. I mean, there was nothing left in this car. It’s all used up. Instead of having to go back to the shop and freshen her a little bit they’re going to have to rebuild it. NOS Energy Drink, appreciate their support, and JGR engines, Toyota, TRD (Toyota Racing Development), XFINITY. It’s fun to come here and participate. I learn a lot and I do that for a reason in order to try and make myself better on Sundays and hopefully it helps.”

What did you take away from the race today that can help you tomorrow?
“Yeah, the tire – this tire is a lot different than what last year’s tire was so there’s a lot of different characteristics and things that are happening throughout a run. To toss this car around and to run it as hard as I had to run it all day I really felt the tire fall off that you got so that’s going to be interesting for tomorrow especially with less downforce and more horsepower on the Cup cars. It’s going to be a fun day. It’s going to be a lot of slipping and sliding and trying to figure out what groove your car will work in. Trying to find some speed if those guys in front of you hold you up. We were able to do some of that today. Lap cars were quite interesting at moments but we were able to make it all work. Again, I can’t say enough about NOS Energy Drink and Chris Gayle and all of these guys so thanks to them.”
