Dennis Setzer on Nashville Superspeedway Park:
“I’m excited about Nashville, we’ve ran decent there in years past, always
pretty consistent. It’s a good concrete track, so it doesn’t change much
with the sun. Although I have a win at Nashville it was at the short track,
I almost had a win at the superspeedway, but I believe our power steering
cable broke that year and we ended up 5th.”
Danny Gill on Nashville Superspeedway Park:
“Nashville is a home town track; I really want to do well there in front of
my friends and family. I just want to win a guitar!”
Dennis Setzer on his finish at IRP:
“It was just a disappointing night. Our Silverado was pretty good, we
probably didn’t have anything for the 43 (Johnny Sauter) but we were going
to have a good second place finish. We just didn’t need that last caution
cause the guys that pitted and had better tires caught us and were by us
pretty quick. We gave it our best shot; we just came up way too short.”
