JOEY LOGANO, No. 22 Shell Pennzoil Ford Fusion — (Finished 5th)
DID YOUR CAR CHANGE? DID THE RACE CHANGE? “We were good on the short run and then after about 10 to 12 laps we started losing speed and losing the center really, losing the turn. Those guys would start driving away and then really late before a green flag pit stop everyone’s tires would be burned off enough that I could start catching back up but I could never catch back up what we lost. Those late race restarts helped a lot and we were able to be aggressive and got a couple spots and came home for a top-five. Overall a top-five is nice. It looked like we were probably a seventh or eighth place car so we got a little more out of it and we will work on it for the fall.”
WHAT IS IT LIKE TO DIVE LOW AND GO FOUR WIDE HERE AT RICHMOND? “I just go in there and close my eyes and hope for the best.”
BRAD KESELOWSKI, No. 2 Alliance Truck Parts Ford Fusion — (Finished 17th)
YOU HAD A GOOD CAR BEFORE YOU LOST THE CYLINDER IN THE ENGINE. HOW FRUSTRATING IS THAT? “Yeah, it sucks but it is part of racing and we just have to try to learn from it going forward and be better.”
IT SEEMED TO HURT YOU ON RESTARTS. “All you can do is try not to ruin everybody else’s day and make the most of the situation.”
WAS THE LACK OF HAVING TO GET INTO THE THROTTLE HERE A SILVER LINING? “If there is a place something like this is going to happen, here is not the worst of places but it is never good.”
SAM HORNISH JR., No. 9 Gwaltney Ford Fusion — (Finished 35th)
“Our Gwaltney Ford wasn’t very good to start the race and we kept wearing out the right front tire and I am not sure what we missed there. We just need to figure out how to be a little better and make some better changes throughout the race. It is a frustrating day for sure.”
