Driver debut: "I really feel up to the challenge. There are definitely some big shoes to fill in driving the No. 20 Toyota, but I'll have some great teammates to lean on for these two weeks." -- Justin Boston on making his Nationwide Series debut for Joe Gibbs Racing

Bumpy road: "Kentucky has a lot of unique characteristics to it. Whether it's the bump on the front stretch or the multi-grooved corners, it's definitely a fun place to race on." -- Trevor Bayne

Recycled knowledge: "Statistically, Kentucky is one of my best tracks, and I hope to continue the trend and have another great race Saturday afternoon. Last time we were here, we battled with an extremely loose car and we weren't able to correct the problem until the closing 50 laps. The plan is to use those adjustments and collectively put together a fast race car that can compete for a victory on Saturday." -- Elliott Sadler

Chart toppers: "I would say there is probably four or five of us that still have a shot at (the title). Realistically, maybe a couple of those guys need some bad luck from cars ahead of them. If somebody rolls off three or four wins in a row, those bonus points are huge and you're going to jump right back up into it pretty quickly." -- Regan Smith on the current points standings

Closing chance: "This opportunity has been a great learning experience for me, and I'm very grateful for the chance to work with such a talented organization. I hope I can get these guys a great finish and end this three-race-deal on a positive note." -- Chase Pistone on his last scheduled race with Turner Scott Motorsports
