Blaney’s win places him on the inside of the second row of the Daytona 500 starting lineup. Elliott’s win secures him a starting position on the outside of the second row.
I thought our car was super-fast all night. I thought all three of our cars were really fast, myself, Brad and Joey. It's a shame the 2 got tore up.I thought we were able to really control the whole race pretty much. We saw that in the Clash, the 2 was able to control it, Joey was able to control it. I was kind of the middle. We had a set plan to try to work with each other the best we can. I think we do that great as a whole organization.Nice to know we have some really fast racecars, and can also be aggressive at the same time, race people. We don't have a fast car in a straight line, we can make aggressive moves. Our balance between the two is pretty good right now.It will change. I would like my car to do a little bit different stuff for Sunday. Tonight I could get a little bit free, Sunday you're just going to be having your hands full a little bit more.
Really happy with the performance of our car. Nice to have a friend at the last restart. That's why I chose the bottom, because he was in third. I figured he'd help me out a good bit.
He did a good job all night, but really happy for our whole team. Can't thank everybody enough from the whole organization for giving us a fast car. - Ryan Blaney
That was fun, our Fords are really fast. Hopefully can have a shot at it Sunday! pic.twitter.com/NIgREr6qb6— Ryan Blaney (@Blaney) February 16, 2018

We did this last year. We got the big one to go on Sunday. That’s the big thing," Chase Elliott stated level-headedly. "To be honest with you, I was kind of trying a bunch of stuff. This new (aerodynamic) package is a lot different. This package is strange compared to what we had in the past. I think we’re all trying to learn and figure out what the best position is to be in and when you want to be there."
Elliott added that the cars are a "handful" right now. "Sunday with the sunshine, it's going to be interesting to watch," he said.
