Team Chevy driver Jeff Gordon gave it all he had for the victory in Sunday night's Advocare 500, but second-guessed a last lap move that possibly could have given him and the No. 24 DuPont race team a second win in the NASCAR Sprint Cup series in 2012.

Gordon had to settle for the runner-up spot, but still has one more shot to make the Chase with a win next week at Richmond International Raceway.

RYAN NEWMAN, NO. 39 U.S. ARMY MEDICINE CHEVROLET – Sidelined in multi-car accident on lap 269 “I think the 48 just ran out of room and it was unfortunate. We have one chore to do with the U.S. Army team and that is to go into Richmond and win. We have done it before and we can do it again.”
Brad Keselowski (No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge Charger R/T) Finished Third YOU HAD A VALIANT EFFORT BUT CAME UP SHORT TONIGHT. “Yeah we did have a great day. Didn’t qualify very well and after practicing didn’t think we were going be well but once again the 2 crew stepped up and gave me a great racecar and drove ‘er up towards about fifth and that was kind of where we leveled off and that restart was able to get up third. But just a solid night here at Atlanta and proud of the effort. Got some good consistency and some great cars and it feels good to be locked into the Chase, too.”
CARL EDWARDS – No. 99 Subway Ford Fusion – “This is not the interview I wanted to do after the race. Our Subway Fusion was pretty good. I was having a lot of fun driving. I love this race track, but it looks like a piston or something. It started making noise about 25-30 laps ago and it’s just hard to put into words. That’s just how our season has been going and I don’t know what the reason is."
