“It was okay. We really honestly struggled and didn’t have quite the setup that we needed. My team did a good job of getting good pit stops and making some adjustments to keep us in the game there. I am happy to come home third with a car that didn’t drive the way we wanted it to.”
Aric Almirola, No. 43 Jani-King/Smithfield Ford Fusion — Finished 6th
NOT TOO BAD FOR YOUR FIRST TIME IN A CUP CAR AT DOVER. “No, I would say that is pretty respectable for our first time here. I can’t say enough about all the guys on this team. The beginning of the year was not what we wanted and they all kept believing in me and being behind me and supporting me and working their guts out. It is days like last week when we qualified on the pole and this week coming here and finishing sixth, it is runs like that that make you realize how hard these guys work. It was a great day for everybody on this Jani-King Smithfield Ford. I am proud of everybody and we had a really good run.”
Marcos Ambrose, No. 9 Stanley Ford Fusion – Finished 10th
“We were fighting for our life out here for RPM. Top-10’s have been hard to come by this year and I really wanted to get two top 10’s for our company this weekend. Aric had a good race car and I had a decent one and I was just fighting to stay in the top-10 there. As respectful as I can be to Biffle who is at the front of the championship battle, I didn’t want to let him pass because I wanted a top-10. It was a good fight and that is what racing is all about.”
Greg Biffle, No. 16 3M Ford Fusion – Finished 11th
“It was tough. We just fought balance all day. I would be a little loose in, real loose in the center and then plowing tight. We could never close that gap. I could make it way too tight and so loose that I couldn’t drive it, but I could never balance the middle and off and in. I just couldn’t get the balance right. But we finished 11th and I wish I would have stayed out at the end. I came in and got tires and I thought more guys would come. We pitted ninth and finished 11th, so that probably wasn’t too smart.”
