McMurray on racing at Las Vegas Motor Speedway:
“It’s always a good time when you go to Vegas, and not just for the race, it’s a great city.  I’ve always had a good time when we go out there.  I know for me it’s going to be nice to get back into the swing of things after having last weekend off. During our testing session out there a few weeks ago, we didn’t hit on anything that we really liked, so Larry (Carter) took the notes back to the shop and built a brand new chassis with a new body design and a new suspension package.  I’m looking forward to getting out there and seeing what we have under us.  I have no doubt that we will have a fast Ford Fusion, as this is one of the tracks that Roush Fenway Racing has excelled at in the past.  Hopefully we can finish the race this weekend and post a strong finish, which would help us out a lot in the points.”


Crew Chief Larry Carter on racing at Las Vegas Motor Speedway:
“Well, I didn’t feel like we had the best test session here a month ago, so we went back to the drawing board.  We took everything that we learned at the test and compared notes with the other teams – the end result is a brand new chassis for this weekend’s race.  We are sitting behind the eight ball a little bit right now and need a strong finish in Vegas.  Overall, I’m expecting we made the right changes and are bringing a great car to the track.”
