Team Chevy drivers have combined to win 42 of 103 races at the Bristol Motor Speedway and look to add number 43 to that impressive feat. Both Kurt Busch and Jeff Gordon have five wins to their credit, with Jeff Burton, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Kevin Harvick, Jimmie Johnson, and Tony Stewart each having one win to their credit. Another amazing fact is Chevy drivers have led 21,376 laps out of a possible 50,974 laps, which is 41.9%. Below are quotes from Team Chevy drivers with their outlook for this weekend’s action.
DALE EARNHARDT, JR., NO. 88 DIET MOUNTAIN DEW/NATIONAL GUARD CHEVROLET – 3rd IN STANDINGS:
“That was a big deal to me because I had seen those trophies in my house all my life. They were the biggest trophies you could bring home. They were bigger than even the championship trophy. I admired the track for how tough it was; how tenacious the races were; how hard the driving was; and how difficult it was on drivers. It is just such a unique racetrack. It’s one of a kind.”
