JOEY LOGANO, No. 22 Discount Tire Ford Mustang (Finished 7th) – YOUR SIDE OF THE CONTACT WITH KEVIN HARVICK.“We were racing for a win here and it just seems like he drove in there pretty hard trying to slide me. I drove up in there too and he got loose underneath me and got into my left rear and up we both went into the race track. It is unfortunate. I had a fast Discount Tire Ford, obviously the winning car, leading a ton of laps and up there at the end of the race. I was racing hard and he just drove over his head a little bit.
CHRIS BUESCHER, No. 60 Roush Performance Parts Ford Mustang (Finished 4th) “I am frustrated. I am mad at myself more than anything for not being able to get going on these restarts better. That is where we lost the race really. This Roush Performance Mustang was really fast. I told the guys with about 25 to go that this was fun. This is how we need to show up to the races each week. It was awesome and they did a heck of a job and it is a great points day but I really wish we had a chance to run for the win there.” HOW MUCH DID YOU FEEL THE SIDE DRAFT OUT THERE? “It is worse than Daytona. These cars aer not speedway cars and there is a lot of downforce in them and when someone goes to the side draft it really pulls you back. There is a lot of drafting going on, especially on the restarts. If you get that outside line going down the backstretch you have huge momentum. We got to racing really hard with our teammate at the end and had a lot of fun. It was a fun race, it really was and the guys did a great job. We are in a good place in the points and we will go on to Chicagoland and try to do a little bit better.”
ELLIOTT SADLER, No. 1 OneMain Financial Ford Mustang (Finished 5th) “We had another pit penalty that got us behind. We were able to make some good adjustments and I think some good strategy that got us back where we need to be. We are happy with it. I feel like we have something to move on. We will go from here. It was a great team effort. The 60 really helped us a lot this weekend and that is what teammates are all about so it is really cool that we finished fourth and fifth.”
ARIC ALMIROLA, No. 98 Shelby American Ford Mustang (Finished 8th) “We had a good day. This Ford Mustang the guys brought me was a real nice car this weekend. It drove really good. I was really happy with the way it drove, it just didn’t have the speed that some of the other guys had. The guys up front were just extremely fast and we didn’t have that kind of speed but I was really happy with the way it drove. It handled really nice. I am proud of the guys and they did a really good job with it. We got a top ten. At one time I thought we would get out of here with a top-five but we had too many laps to run. I needed just five laps to go on a restart because our car was driving good enough on the restarts to get some spots but then everybody that had more speed than us would just run us down and get by us.”
