REGAN SMITH, NO. 78 FURNITURE ROW RACING/FARM AMERICAN CHEVROLET – FINISHED FIFTH "What a wild ending. We restarted the green-white-checkered in 28th, picked up a bunch of spots (12) on the first lap and then came the wreck. We were involved in the melee and had major damage to the car, but somehow I was able to drive it to the checkered flag with a fifth-place finish. I need to look at replays to see how it all came about and how it all finished. Everything happened so quickly."
MATT KENSETH – No. 17 EcoBoost Ford Fusion – VICTORY LANE INTERVIEW: WHAT ABOUT THE LAST LAP? “Clint and I got together a little bit on the backstretch. I don’t know if that was my bad and we weren’t exactly all the way clear or what happened there, but that really slowed the group and we got a big lead, which typically isn’t good here. I just looked in my mirror and saw them coming at me three-wide."
Brad Keselowski (No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge Charger R/T) Finished Seventh CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE END OF THE RACE? “We were four-wide for about two and a half straight laps and it’s just a matter of time before your wreck."
QUITE THE SCENE DOWN HERE IN THE GARAGE AREA KURT BUSCH HUGGING AND CONGRATULATING YOUR CREW GUYS.

We ran out of gas, ran out of gas while leading."
