FORD FINISHING RESULTS
9th Brad Keselowski
12th Darrell Wallace Jr.
14th Ryan Reed
17th Jeb Burton
29th BJ McLeod
37th Todd Peck

DARRELL WALLACE JR., No. 6 Cheez-It Ford Mustang (Finished 12th) – “It was a good day for us, especially after the two weeks we have had. To come out of here with a clean race car, just a couple scratches is okay, rather than a destroyed race car. I am proud of the effort from my guys. They worked hard all day long. Just lacked overall grip and we couldn’t seem to find it in the long run. We will build off it and go to California where we were pretty strong last year and have some fun.”

BRAD KESELOWSKI, No. 2 Discount Tire Ford Mustang (Finished 9th) – “It wasn’t what we wanted by any means today. The Discount Tire Ford was just tight all day at both ends and we were never able to get it freed up at all. I thought Brian Wilson made a nice call there at the end to roll the dice to stay out and try to catch a caution but it didn’t work out for us. I had to come down for gas and we ended up right where we were all day. We had about a 7-10th place car today and that is where we ended up.”

JEB BURTON, No. 43 J. Streicher Ford Mustang (Finished 17th) – “It was very frustrating. I felt like we were going to be better than that but we struggled again. We just have to regroup and go to California. We just missed it today. We just couldn’t turn and then every time we would make an adjustment we would be sideways. We just missed it. We need to be better when we unload and we just haven’t been doing that the last couple of weeks.”
