Ford Performance NASCAR: Chicagoland (Harvick, Bowyer, Logano and Keselowski all Top-10 at Chicago

KEVIN HARVICK, No. 4 Jimmy John’s Kicki’ Ranch Ford Fusion - Finished 3rd

“Our car was just off all weekend. We had a tough time making the front end turn and then we would wind up way too tight, all the way through the corner or way too loose all the way through the corner. The guys did a good job and kept us in the game all day. We had a chance, we just wound up at the wrong side of it at the end.”

CLINT BOWYER, No. 14 WIX Filters Ford Fusion -- Finished 5th

YOU HAD ISSUES ON PIT ROAD TODAY: “Yeah, we were too fast. The guys work very hard on making sure that they are pushing the envelope, which you have to do in this world and against this competition. You have to push everything. Certainly pit road is a big part of that. You are splitting hairs out there on the race track down to the tenths of a second and you can gain seconds on pit road. Obviously our pit road speed was just a little too fast. We practiced it yesterday and the guys even made some adjustments but that tight section down there was just too fast. The first time you second guess yourself. You come down the second time and you are cautious and speed again so now you know you’ve got a problem. Then it was just confusion on my part. I wasn’t listening and made a mistake and cost us a third time down. We got good at pitting today, unfortunately. The capabilities there to run with these three guys. Our race team is young and making some mistakes but we have time to gain on those and build on those. You hate to give away those stage points. I think we could have won both those stages and maybe been in contention for a win. I am proud of everybody. WIX Filters was on the car this weekend and everybody at Ford and the IT Savvy folks are here. We have a lot of good mojo on this 14 car, we just have to put it all together to get another win.”

WHAT DOES IT SAY ABOUT THE STRENGTH OF YOUR TEAM TO BATTLE BACK TO GET IN THE TOP-FIVE? “Well, add a fast car and a bit of a pissed off attitude and it is amazing what you can do.”

BRAD KESELOWSKI, No. 2 Stars, Stripes and Lites Ford Fusion -- Finished 9th

“We struggled with some stuff out there today. Struggled with a vibration and we struggled with grip. We were a little better, probably a fifth place car today. I probably cost us a couple of spots but that is just the way it goes. I think we are the same we have been. We can run fifth-to-10th at the 1.5 mile tracks but we are behind the 78, 18 and Stewart-Haas cars.”

ARIC ALMIROLA, No. 10 Smithfield Ford Fusion -- Finished 25th

“Our car was super fast, especially out in clean air. It was incredibly fast. We just have to execute. We have to put a whole race together. That is the difference between being good and being great. We are capable of winning. We showed it today. We have speed, we are bringing incredible race cars to the race track and we just have to put a whole day together. We have to be flawless on pit road and I have to do my part too. Today we just had two loose wheels on two separate instances and you can’t have that, especially in races like this that go green forever. I am really frustrated but the good news is that our cars are fast. We can build on that. We are going to win a race. I guarantee you we are going to win a race. We have to be perfect to do it though.”
