Q. Kyle, 21st attempt, the first time you are the polesitter. How does that sound?
KYLE BUSCH: Sounds really good right now. Certainly here on Wednesday night, being able to qualify on my first pole for the Daytona 500, that's pretty special. I've had one other speedway pole down here in Daytona for the summer race. This feels good.
Feels really good for RCR as a group. Everybody from ECR, thanks to Bob and his whole team there. Thanks to zone Nicotine Pouches being on board for us. Maybe it was the flames that brought us all the speed and heat we needed for tonight. But also Lucas Oil, obviously their fuel treatments and oil treatments, everything that we run in this race car to give us the speed we need to be up front.
Just a valiant effort by everybody here. It would be really nice to be doing an interview like this about being No. 1 come Sunday night.
