TEAM CHEVY POST RACE NOTES AND QUOTES
MAY 3, 2015
DALE EARNHARDT, JR., NO. 88 NATIONWIDE CHEVROLET SS – RACE WINNER
“Just real emotional man. Everything is just so good for me now. My personal life. My racing. The team I am with. I don’t know why. I don’t feel like I deserve it. I just feel overcome with a lot of emotion. It has been a long time since I won here. I’ve run so good here, and not to win here in so many races has bothered me. I want to thank Nationwide and my team, my guys. Greg (Ives, crew chief) Kevin ?? All the guys from last year, Steve Letarte, I’m sure they are happy. All those guys that have moved on. It is a great day for a lot of people that have been a part of this and helped us get here. We just have a really good group of guys. I’m, blessed man. I’m blessed. We just have a really good group of guys.”
WITH JIMMIE (JOHNSON) BEHIND YOU, WHAT DID YOU THINK?
“I didn’t know what he had up his sleeve. Maybe they got busy behind him and he couldn’t form a charge. We had a real strong car. I didn’t know if the engine was going to last. I had faith in it that it would because we build fast cars and they are tough. All those guys in the motor shop and the body shop, they earn their money today. Another thing too, it was bugging me that we weren’t winning races. Now we are locked in that Chase, we can call these races so different now so maybe there will be more wins.”
