DALE EARNHARDT, JR., NO. 88 AMP ENERGY CHEVROLET SS – FINISHED 2ND “We had a real good car that was really fast on the long runs. The No. 41 (Kurt Busch) and a couple of guys were faster than us the first 10 or 15 laps of a run. But then I could get my car really fast and I could work my trackbar and pass a lot of cars. I was able to work that trackbar and pass a lot of cars and go forward instead of being just kind of stuck where I was.”

KURT BUSCH, NO. 41 HAAS AUTOMATION CHEVROLET SS – Race Winner - IT TAKES A TEAM TO GO TO VICTORY LANE. BUT, DOES RICK CARELLI, YOUR SPOTTER, GET THE BONUS AWARD TODAY FOR HOW HE HELPED YOU WORK THROUGH TRAFFIC? “Absolutely. It’s amazing when you have team chemistry at the level we do. I grew-up watching Rick Carelli and Ron Hornaday, the legends of the Southwest Tour run; and to have Carelli as my spotter, I have so much respect for him."

BRAD KESELOWSKI, No. 2 Miller Lite Ford Fusion (Finished 6th) – “I am disappointed because the Miller Lite Ford Fusion was getting better with each run. We were starting to get it where we needed to be when that last big rain came through and I would have loved to see what we had for the final stretch. It is also disappointing for the fans, they are awesome to stick with us through this weather today. We will take the sixth place finish and head into the off week and we will refocus on getting that Michigan win when we come back in August.”
