Pre-Race Notes & Quotes

Kasey Kahne, No. 9 Wisk/Ultimate Chargers Dodge I definitely enjoy driving Dover. It's one of those tracks that you really attack. You're hard on the gas down the straightaways and then hard on the brakes entering the corner. During the course of the weekend a second groove will develop, but that becomes most obvious in the Cup race. I have been on the pole there in the Busch car before and had some success in those races. I really want to get a good finish in the Wisk Dodge this weekend. We have had really strong cars at Richmond, Darlington, and Lowe’s but just haven't been able to close the deal and come home with a top finish. I plan on turning that around this weekend." In Busch Series competition Kasey Kahne has one pole, two top fives, four top 10s, and has led 63 laps in seven starts at Dover International Speedway (DIS).

Mark McFarland, No. 88 Navy Accelerate Your Life Chevrolet “I ran pretty decent in the Busch race at Dover a couple years ago. It’ll be good to get back to a track where I have some seat time. With the limits on testing this year, experience on the track is more important than ever. That’s one of the problems we’ve had this year as a rookie team with a rookie driver. We’ve still had some good runs and I think as we move through the season and go back to some of the tracks we’ve already run at we’ll be even better.” Saturday’s race will mark McFarland’s second Busch race at Dover International Speedway and his third overall race there. In 2004 he ran both the Spring Busch and Truck Series races at the track.

Clint Bowyer, No. 2 ACDelco Chevrolet Bowyer has raced twice at Dover. In his first full season of NASCAR Busch Series racing in 2005, Bowyer qualified in the top-five in the ACDelco Chevrolet for both races. After starting in the third position in June, he finished the race 19th. He then qualified fifth for the September race and came home second. Clint Bowyer turned 27-years-old on Tuesday, May 30.
