MARCOS AMBROSE, No. 9 DeWalt Ford Fusion (Incident Quote) - “This is so disappointing for us. It appears we've blown an engine. We've had fantastic power from Ford Racing and Roush Yates Engines so we can't complain. It's just the racing gods aren't on our side this year. We were fast tonight and ran top 10. We are proud of that and will have to regroup and go to Talladega.”

"That was a heck of a first lap of the restart. I thought that the outside line might have the advantage because it had a couple of guys with new tires in the second row, and lined up on the outside. But the two tires - these cars drive a lot off the left rear - and we only took two tires, and they didn't get that great of restart but my car launched, and I was able to drive it in the first corner and hope for the best down there."
