Joe Gibbs Racing: 2015 Irwin Tools Night Race weekend preview

With only one minute remaining on the clock, Kyle Larson posted the fastest single lap in practice for the Irwin Tools Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway.

“Once you do it (win a race) once, you want to do that every week”, Smith said. The camera is right on the other side of the number one pit stall.

Kenseth’s win in April was his fourth at Bristol in 31 starts – he’s won twice on the old layout and twice on the new layout that features multiple grooves.

“If we can go to Bristol and compete, I think we can win there”, Dillon said.

For JGR, it’s the second week that the organization’s Toyota have swept the first three positions in qualifying. I don’t want to say his swagger is gone, even though he hasn’t won since Phoenix, but I do think he’s feeling some pressure from Joe Gibbs Racing.

When his No. 24 Chevrolet sported the rainbow look from 1992 to 2000, Gordon captured three NSCS championships, won 52 races and took the checkered flag at 17 tracks. “We were saving fuel like insane , trying to get our track position back, and it worked out”, Dillon said. “At the end there, we tried a Hail Mary to pick up speed and it didn’t work”. His fastest lap was 129.833 miles per hour , which was 0.142 seconds faster than Matt Kenseth.

“A top five would be great”, Ragan said, given the current events at MWR. He gets around this track well. “We don’t have a lot to loose”. He has a 48-point edge over Joey Logano. Harvick’s the defending Sprint Cup champion.

Kyle Busch has five wins, but none since 2011. Kurt Busch, Edwards and Kenseth continually rocked this place for the organization. “When I swatted the throttle it shoved the nose for an instant”.

I’m not going to recommend a wager on Ricky Stenhouse Jr.at 100-to-1 odds, but I couldn’t fault anyone for taking a shot with him in match-ups or the daily fantasy stuff. “I wish we could have done that for about 20 more”. “I’ve just been really focused”.

The Sprint Cup Series will race under the lights this weekend. He’ll start 13th on Saturday.
