DO YOU THINK THE RACING CONDITIONS OF THE TRACK CAME TO YOU? “Not really, I think it was our adjustments. We started really bad, really loose and then we got the car where it was driving great and I think we got up to fifth or sixth. Then we adjusted our way out of it, and then got it back at the end. So it was all adjustments, what we did, and the communication. Then at the end Kenny made a great call with fuel and how we played that game because it had a big part in what our splitter was doing. So it was a team effort and the guys did great tonight and I am pretty pumped to be here.”
BRAD KESELOWSKI – No. 2 Alliance Truck Parts Ford Fusion – “We were rallying pretty well. I made a pit road mistake a little bit earlier that got us behind, but got up to fourth and had a shot at winning the race. Kevin was really strong, but we were just starting the pit sequence and one of the slower cars in front of us was pitting and so was Denny Hamlin, who was running second or third there, and he just made the decision to pit from the middle lane and clogged the whole track. That kind of ruined our day with the Alliance Truck Parts Ford.”
