We definitely had a fast race car, and I'm just happy to be up front at the beginning (when two big wrecks took place). It was a track-position game for a long time there. You didn't have to worry about passing anybody. You could set your own pace. |
We enjoy this track. It's very fast and I really enjoy qualifying here. But it's a handful in the race. |
We felt that the best thing to do is just to keep vehicles out. They just tear it up. |
We got caught out there on the yellow. We'll just keep going. We've had a pretty good run and we have to be happy about that. |
We had a shot at winning the race. The 48 plain got lucky. He had battery problems and everything else. |
We had some pretty stout cars coming. ... It's a situation where they give you two laps, and you never know if the first or second lap is going to be better. There's no reason not to try. |
We had to come in. The other guys had pitted sooner previous times and we had a situation where we were all about fuel. |
We have to stay focused as a team, go out and do the best job we can, ... Nothing that we do, aside from the obvious, would benefit us as far as Tony Stewart and his situation. |
We just had to wait everything out. This has been a lot of fun. I want to thank the fans for their support tonight, they stuck it out for quite a while. |
We just lost track position there for a while, ... When you're restarting 20th or 26th, or whatever it was there, it just makes it really difficult to pass. Luckily (the caution) came out at the right time for us, when we were getting ready to pit. We gained a lot of track position; got ourselves in the top five and obviously, we held our own there at that point. |

We need a string of nine top-five finishes to win this thing. So, that's what we're trying to do. |
We obviously had a really fast race car, |
We raced for the win today, ... Tony raced me clean and I felt like we raced him clean. He had a fast car all day, but we were able to get it done. |
We ran into some problems before we even got started. (The crew) did a lot of work on the car today. It's just a shame. |
