“I will be disappointed if we are not in contention for the win this weekend at Dover.” – Greg Biffle.

“The reality is that you can’t start getting a clear picture of the outcome of all of this until about four races to go.” – Mark Martin.

“The first win was great, but there is something really gratifying about building a program from the ground up and seeing it succeed." – Brian Vickers.

“It’s disappointing knowing that we aren’t in the Chase. But, we have nine chances to win a race before the season ends and that’s our goal.” – Jeff Burton.

“This is one of the races in the Chase where I can make a difference as a driver.” – Carl Edwards.

“I thought it was the coolest place I had ever been. The sensation of speed and the way that it feels when you dive off into turns one and three is incredible. I just took to liking it pretty early in my career; it just took me a while to figure out how to really get around there better.” – Casey Mears.

“I don’t think you drive it (concrete race track) any differently, but because it is concrete, the track has a lot more bumps than an asphalt track would.” – Tony Stewart.

“It’s certainly going to be tough to get ourselves back into the thick of the battle, but there are still some strong tracks for us remaining and we have to make the most of them.” – Jeff Gordon.

“Dover is one of those tracks where you want to win at. At some of these mile-and-a-half tracks, you’re only as good as the equipment and you really don’t have much of a say so. At places like Bristol, Dover, Daytona and Talladega, you have to make things happen.” – Clint Bowyer.

“Dover is a really cool place to race. It is like Bristol on steroids. It is considered a short track but has speeds like a superspeedway.” – David Stremme.

“Dover is like a big Bristol. It’s a place where you can lean on the banking a lot.” – Kevin Harvick.

“Dover is different from any track we go to because, at Dover, you kind of fall down into the corners.” – Jamie McMurray.

“Back in 1994, it was like racing on a gravel road. There were potholes, and dirt chunking out of the track. We needed the track to be repaired so Dover put concrete down.” – Michael Waltrip.

“It’s a 400-mile race now whereas before it was 500 miles. I think every driver is glad it isn’t that long anymore and I bet some wish it were 300 miles.” – Richard Petty.

“I’ve had a couple run-ins with the Monster and he’s won his fair share.” – Elliott Sadler.
