KEVIN HARVICK, NO. 4 BUDWEISER CHEVROLET SS – Finished 5th - ON THE RACE “We didn’t have the best car tonight but got a Top 5 out of it and that’s what you’re going to have to do over the next 10 weeks to keep yourself in the game. And that’s really what it’s about it keeping yourself in the game. You’ve got to keep doing that and everything else; the race car runs fine and you’ve just got to battle every week.”

JIMMIE JOHNSON, NO. 48 LOWE’S CHEVROLET SS – FINISHED 8TH - TELL US ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED? “Just got dehydrated in the car. Not exactly sure what led to it we will have to dig in and see what happened. I started cramping when I got out of the race car. Then when I was cramping I was trying to stand-up because I was fine when I sat down then I would stand-up I would get dizzy.

Clint Bowyer (third) was the highest-finishing Toyota driver in Saturday night's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) race at Richmond International Raceway behind race-winner Brad Keselowski.

GREG BIFFLE, No. 16 3M Ford Fusion (Finished 19th) – IT ISN’T HOW YOU WANTED TO GET IN BUT CONGRATS YOU ARE IN THE CHASE. “Thank you. It has been a tough season. I tell you what, when you are that far off it is the hardest thing in the world to drive. Those guys that ran up in the top five probably didn’t break a sweat but I tell you what, this is the toughest thing I’ve ever had to do in my life, driving and trying to stay in the top-20 like this. At the beginning of the race we were a lot better than we were at the end. We kept losing the handle and trying to adjust on it but weren’t getting anywhere. I drove all I had and that is all I could do to bring it home where I did.”
