What does it mean to start the season so strong?
“This is awesome. It’s fantastic. I’m so happy with all of the progress we’ve all made, and I still know how much I have to learn. So, I’m really optimistic for the future.”

What are your plans for the off-weekend?
“We’re going to Gainesville, Florida to the Gatornationals (NHRA event). There’s a bunch of us and I’m actually taking my motor home there. Amanda’s (wife) brother Matt Smith and his wife Angie Smith are racing motorcycles down there so we’re going to go and check that out.”

JOEY LOGANO, No. 20 Home Depot Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing

What are your plans for the off-weekend?
“A week off seems like it’s a lot of time off for me. I’m not used to that. I know I’m going to California to do a thing for Home Depot out there, so I’ll be running around a little bit. I’m sure I’ll go to the shop a few days and try to go over some short track stuff and see if we can get ready for Bristol and Martinsville. There might be a test in there somewhere, too. I’m sure we’ll be plugging along and trying to get ready to get back to short track racing.”

MARCOS AMBROSE, No. 47 Little Debbie Toyota Camry, JTG-Daugherty Racing

Do you think it’s the right time to have an off-weekend?
“It’s the right time because I’ve got my family coming back from Australia so we’re going to hang out for the week. But, NASCAR seems to fill the off-weekends pretty quick now. I’ve got six days of testing in the next 15 days. We’re sure to be busy as a race team getting everything ready. We’re excited. We’ve got a good package running and I’m going to see my kids again, which will be fun and exciting. Who knows how our season is going to unfold, so when you get a weekend off it makes it a bit nicer.”

Are you able to relax during the off-weekend?
“Not really. I’m gearing up to run the season now so I wouldn’t mind to just keep going. I’m here in America for one reason and that’s to race and try to win and off-weekends don’t mean much to me. Apart from my family being back, which I’m excited about, I’d prefer to be racing somewhere.”

J.D. GIBBS, president, Joe Gibbs Racing

How are plans coming together for Taylor’s Finish Line Festival in May?
“Everything is coming together and the festival is going to be a tremendous family friendly event. There is already so much excitement that weekend with the Sprint All-Star Race the night before and the NASCAR Hall of Fame induction ceremony earlier that day. We hope to really build off of that excitement to raise a lot of support for ‘Make-A-Wish Foundation’ and ‘Levine Children's Hospital.’ These two organizations have really blessed our family and it has been amazing to witness how the local community, as well as our partners and so many others in the NASCAR family, are rallying to support the festival and these great charities.”

STEVE WALLACE, No. 66 5-Hour Energy Toyota Camry, Rusty Wallace Racing

Are you happy with the way your team has performed to start the season?
“Three top-10s is a great way for us to start the season. It always seems like the guys who can have a good start to the year and build some momentum tend to stay towards the front of the point standings for most of the year. We’ll build on this and head to Bristol -- it’s one of my favorite tracks and our hot rods should really be strong there.”

BRIAN SCOTT, No. 11 AccuDoc Solutions Toyota Camry, Braun Racing

Has your wrist fully healed after breaking it last June during the Michigan NCWTS race?
“Last Monday (March 1), my wrist was evaluated by a highly regarded specialist in New York. A high-resolution CT scan shows that it has healed to 85 percent. I will need to keep it braced and work on range of motion. However, there is nothing to hinder my commitment to my sponsors AccuDoc Solutions, StopRepairBills.com, BigSpot.com and the No. 11 Braun Racing Toyota team. I want to thank everyone for their prayers and support.”

TREVOR BAYNE, No. 99 Aaron’s Dream Machine Toyota Camry, Diamond-Waltrip Racing

What are your thoughts on the start of the 2010 season?
“We had the best finish for Diamond-Waltrip Racing at Las Vegas -- actually my best career finish in the Nationwide Series -- so we’re pumped up for Bristol. We’ve got some momentum going and I can’t wait to get to my home track (Bristol). We’re getting better and better each week. If we can continue to keep running like we are, I think we will be strong by the end of the year.”

NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS)
NEWS, NOTES & NUMBERS: Tundra drivers have combined for one win, six top-five results and nine top-10 finishes in the first two NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) races … Aric Almirola has recorded 11 top-10 finishes in 19 NCWTS starts since joining Billy Ballew Motorsports in 2009 … Steve Wallace, driving the No. 15 Billy Ballew Motorsports Tundra, earned a fourth-place finish in his first career Truck Series start at Atlanta last week … Todd Bodine currently leads the NCWTS point standings with a four-point advantage over fellow Tundra driver Timothy Peters … Almirola (fourth), Kyle Busch (fifth), Stacy Compton (sixth) and Tayler Malsam (ninth) are also in the top-10 in points … Tundra driver Mike Skinner will host the fourth-annual ‘Toyota Skinner Round-Up for Charity’ on March 11 and 12 at Daytona International Speedway and Spruce Creek Country Club in Daytona Beach, Fla., to raise funds to benefit charities in Volusia County (Fla.) … The NCWTS will have a two-week break before returning to action at Martinsville Speedway, March 28.

MIKE SKINNER, No. 5 International Trucks/Monaco RV Toyota Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports

Are you excited to host your fourth-annual ‘Toyota Skinner Round-up for Charity’ event?
“It’s really, really great to have a bunch of friends come down and some musicians and athletes from different places around the country and race fans and have a heck of a lot of fun raising money for good causes and local charities right there in Volusia County. The only thing I can do is say thanks. A lot of our competitors are coming and that just tells you what a family this sport really is. We all want to beat the heck out of each other on the race track, but when it comes to doing charity work everybody pulls together. Guys that drive different manufacturer’s vehicles and the people that want to beat us are going to come and support us and I think that’s pretty cool.”

KYLE BUSCH, No. 18 Toyota Tundra, Kyle Busch Motorsports

Are you pleased with the performance of Kyle Busch Motorsports so far in 2010?
“For a young team, this is good to come out of the box and run strong and do well. We’ve got a lot of work ahead of us, though. We’re excited about what happens next and getting to Martinsville and then of course on to place likes Dover, Kansas and Charlotte. We’ve got a long year ahead of us and this is a testament to how well this team is going to run and we’re looking forward to it.”

ARIC ALMIROLA, No. 51 Graceway Pharmaceuticals Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports

Are you happy with your start to the season?
“We performed well last year and we’re showing once again we can do it again this year. We continue to put ourselves in position to win races and we run strong every week. For the amount of work and everything that the guys have went through over the winter, I’m really proud of Richie Wauters (crew chief) and all of the guys at our race shop. They’ve been working really hard and putting in a lot of hours to make our race team better and we’re gaining on it. We’re not all the way there, but we’re gaining on it and it makes me proud to see their hard work pay off. We’re just as strong of a team as we were last year.”
