KEVIN HARVICK, NO. 29 BUDWEISER FOLDS OF HONOR CHEVROLET SS – WINNER - YOU’VE WON A LOT OF BIG RACES IN YOUR CAREER WHAT DOES THIS WIN SAY ABOUT YOU AND THIS NO. 29 TEAM? “Well, first off I want to say I hope everybody is okay from that cable. That is quite a weird incident there. Second, I want to just say thank you to all these guys at RCR (Richard Childress Racing)."

In a 10-lap shootout to the finish, Kevin Harvick held off Kasey Kahne to bring his No. 29 Budweiser Folds of Honor Chevrolet SS home for the win ahead of Kahne’s No. 5 Time Warner Cable SS. It was Harvick’s 21st NASCAR Sprint Cup career win, his second of the 2013 season, and also his second time to visit Victory Lane at the Coca-Cola 600. The win also moved Havick up three places in the series standings to 7th place overall.

TRAVIS PASTRANA – No. 60 Roush Fenway Racing Ford Mustang – “My pride hurts more than anything. I felt like we had a really good car. The guys gave me a good car. I obviously slipped and spun out in qualifying and then we were starting out loose at the start of every run, but it would get better and better at the end. I felt like we had a great car. All of the guys really worked hard on it and it’s just really disappointing. We knew we had to be in front of Nelson there for the lucky dog and I didn’t want to be the one that caused it, but I just ran out of talent there.”
