JEFF GORDON, NO. 24 DRIVE TO END HUNGER CHEVROLET, RACE WINNER: ENDING A NEARLY TWO-YEAR WINLESS STREAK, WELCOME HOME. "Are you kidding me? Pinch me man, pinch me."
KURT BUSCH (No. 22 Shell/Pennzoil Dodge Charger R/T) Finished Eight “We’ll take a top 10. It was a pretty good day for the Shell/Pennzoil Dodge today. Steve (Addington, crew chief) and the guys gave me a fast car for qualifying."
AJ ALLMENDINGER – No. 43 Valvoline Ford Fusion (Finished 9th) – “It was all right. I don’t know why this race kind of works out like that. You always get some yellows early and guys doing two tires and no tires."
TREVOR BAYNE - No. 21 Motorcraft Ford Fusion - "I don't know what happened. We were battling with the 13 car a little bit and I don't know if it was the 38 car behind us or who, but something happened."
JEFF BURTON, NO. 31 CATERPILLAR CHEVROLET, involved in 13 car accident on the backstretch on lap 66 after being involved in earlier multi-car incident on lap 59: WHAT HAPPENED OUT THERE? "It looked like the No 83 (Brian Vickers) had some trouble on the outside."
After a tough start to the 2011 season last weekend at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway, the No. 2 Kevin Harvick Inc. (KHI) team packed up and headed west to the desert and Phoenix International Raceway looking to rebound.
