Talladega Qualifying Notes & Quotes

Elliott Sadler won the pole for Talladega Superspeedway’s Aaron’s 499: “It’s a great qualifying effort for us. This is my Daytona car that we qualified pretty well with at Daytona and won the Duel race with and finished in the top five with it in the 500, so we knew coming down here we were gonna be pretty close. We made about a 20-lap run yesterday in race trim and we thought, ‘Man, this is as good as we can get it.’ I knew the guys, when we rolled off today, we were gonna be in good shape. Going early was an advantage because it was not as windy and to be able to get the pole like we did is just great. I’m the lucky one sitting up here talking to you guys, but Doug Yates and his engine shop are just doing an unbelievable job. I think he’s got three out of the top five and six out of the top 10 are his motors, so that’s just a lot of hard work. Tom Gant and the guys have done a good job back at the shop in getting these motors prepared for this race. I’m the lucky one to drive it today. Today shows off how much hard work is going on with all the engine stuff and all the body and chassis work that these guys do. It’s just an honor to be able to drive a car that’s that fast.”
