Kenseth on racing at New Hampshire International Speedway:
"We've ran pretty good at Loudon lately. It's important for us to go there and run good this weekend because that momentum will carry over to when we return there for the Chase in September. It's important to have a good run for a number of reasons. We ran really good at Chicago last week but didn't get the finish we probably deserved. It's important for us to bounce back strong this weekend at Loudon to kind of put Chicago behind us. But, the important thing to me now is that we're getting our cars to where they can run up front and compete for the win each week, and we're doing that right now."
Crew Chief Robbie Reiser on racing at New Hampshire International Speedway:
"Loudon is a good place for us to continue our momentum. I can't say enough about this team and how they are performing this year. Our cars have been good nearly every time we unload at the track, with only a couple of exceptions. The pit crew has been as consistent as ever. They did a great job at Chicago all day. We never lost a position on pit road and they kept Matt up front on the final two stops. We've competed for a number of wins so far and that's a credit to this entire 17 team. It's been a one-race-at-a-time approach that has worked well for us this year and has us operating at a championship level right now."
