Q. What is your favourite memory of the 2010 Nationwide season?
"That's easy. For me personally, the St. Louis race when I was able to prove to myself I had the ability to run in the top 10 with good equipment from my brother."
-- Kenny Wallace
"This one's easy. Bristol. No question. That was such a cool race for me and all the guys. There's really no words that can describe how cool that race was for us. I love Bristol. We've always seemed to run well there. We've crashed both fall races, so next year we're going to work on not crashing in the fall."
-- Justin Allgaier
"I'm going to say the three poles in a row. That was pretty awesome. We didn't get a win, so I can't say that, but I can definitely go with the three in a row. That was my favourite part."
-- Trevor Bayne
"I was second at Nashville and chasing down Kevin Harvick for the win and had a pretty good shot at it with 10 to go, so that was exciting. The reason it was exciting is because that's the hometown for our sponsor, Dollar General."
-- Reed Sorenson
"Winning, obviously. That's the best memory you can ever have. Our average finish is up there, I think the best of everybody, so that's cool. I had the most poles of everybody, so that's cool too. I had some cool stats, just not as many trophies as I wanted." -- Joey Logano
"It's tough to beat winning in your home state."
-- Brad Keselowski
"The third-place finish at Chicago because it was our strongest run. It was exciting having the chance to go for the win. It was the first Nationwide race I'd been up front and capable of going for the victory and that's always exciting when you have a chance to do that."
-- Brian Scott
"We had a pretty good run in St. Louis. I'm going to miss Gateway. Had a lot of fun going there, got to see everybody."
-- Steve Wallace
"Road America. The race at Road America was pretty cool."
-- Paul Menard
"Hopefully Homestead. It's been up and down, but this hasn't been one of my best years."
-- Jason Leffler
