JOEY LOGANO – No. 22 Shell/Pennzoil Ford Fusion – “It was a right-front. I don’t really know what it was. I really don’t think I ran anything over and in looking it over it looks like a shoulder failure to me. I don’t know why. I haven’t seen any tire issues out here. It was a big hit, but a bigger hit in the points, really. We’ll have to fix this thing up and put a new right-front suspension on and get back out there to try and gain a couple more spots if we can. It’s just a bummer. The Shell/Pennzoil team has done a great job all year gaining up some points. We’ll lose a lot here, but we’re not out of it by any means.”

DAVID GILLILAND – No. 38 Long John Silver’s Ford Fusion – “We didn’t do any single car stuff yesterday and never worked on one single thing toward single car runs, so I’m happy with that. I have no idea where that’s gonna end up or where anybody is gonna end up, but the biggest thing is our car had great speed yesterday, sucked up really well, and had a lot of speed in the draft."
