McMurray on racing at
Darlington Raceway:
“Darlington is going to be
very interesting this
weekend with so many
unknowns going into the
race. After being
resurfaced, tracks are
typically very fast, and
especially with this new car
under us, it’s going to be
very interesting going there
this weekend. The practice
time on the track this
weekend is going to be so
important for both a good
and successful race on
Saturday night. I know Greg
(Biffle) tested at
Darlington for Goodyear a
couple of times, so we’ll
have to see what his notes
were from the test, and what
we can do ahead of time to
be prepared for this
weekend.
“Darlington has
traditionally been a pretty
good track for me in the
past. Last year we started
third in the race, and I’ve
had a few top-10 finishes
there as well.
“Last weekend was really
tough for the No. 26 Crown
Royal team after being
wrecked with not many laps
left in the race. Hopefully,
we can pick up from that and
have a clean, safe race this
weekend. We’ve had fast Ford
Fusions over the last few
weeks, and hopefully that
will remain the same this
weekend in Darlington.”
Crew Chief Larry Carter
on racing at Darlington
Raceway: “The setup for this
weekend’s race is going to
be so important. There are
so many things you don’t
know how to setup on the car
when you race at the track
for the first time after
it’s been paved. We are
fortunate the No. 16 team
went down there a couple of
times for the Goodyear tire
test, so we should have some
idea of what to expect
before we go into the
weekend. I think a strong
starting spot and some
really good track position
will be the keys for
producing a good finish.
Hopefully, if we can just
keep our nose clean and have
a good race, we’ll be there
at the end.”
