Tony Stewart +1100 Chassis No. 192:
This is a relatively new race car, as it debuted at Bristol in March, where it qualified sixth and led six times for a race-high 267 laps before a late accident with Kevin Harvick relegated Chassis No. 192 to a 14th-place finish.

St. 42, Fn. 12) and last July at New Hampshire (St. 20, Fn. 37). In eight races in 2007, this car recorded an 18th-place starting average and a 13.75 average finish. Over that same span, Bowyer recorded one pole, one top-five and four top-10 finishes

Kevin Harvick +2000 Chassis No. 235 from the Richard Childress Racing stable, a new car for the 2008 season that Harvick raced to a second-place finish at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Quote by Biffle:
The new surface will make for an entirely different race there than we?ve ever had before though, so we?ll see how it goes. We?re going to be running so much faster there than we have in the past. Passing will be difficult but I think there should still be some good racing. Tire wear won?t be nearly as much of a factor as it was before the repaving. We ran just as fast on lap 30 at the tire test as we did on the first lap out. I hope what we learned at the tire test gets us off on the right foot this weekend.
