KEVIN HARVICK, NO. 29 BUDWEISER CHEVROLET SS – RACE WINNER: WHAT WERE YOUR THOUGHTS WHEN YOU SAW CARL (EDWARDS) COME OFF THE PACE? “Well I think we were all pushing it on gas there to try to just put enough in it to get to the end so that we could gain all the track position we could under green."

CARL EDWARDS – No. 99 Fastenal Ford Fusion – “We played the strategy very well. We did a really good job, but we just needed a little more fuel. We just miscalculated. I thought we were a lap to the good. I was saving just a little bit of fuel, but obviously not enough. I don’t know if I could have saved a lap and kept Kevin behind me in hindsight, but that’s a tough way to lose one there. We haven’t run out of fuel in a long time.”
