I do not liking winning this way, and it was very unfortunate what happened to James. It was hard to get by him, and it was great that we kept the racing clean out there. This is a dream come true for me tonight.

Definitely, James has ridden exceptionally well all year, not just these last three races.

He's just a great rider, bottom line. It just takes me a little longer to get going. You've got to give it up to him for sure.

Bubba (Stewart) was in front of me and I followed for a lap and a half and then made a clean inside pass on him. I heard his bike revving wide open and saw his fender coming closer and then suddenly he crashed. It can't be fun to hit the mat as many times as he has this year. I think it comes down to learning to be patient.

I'm not settling in, the points are too close. James (Stewart) is obviously riding really well.

Chad hounded me for while out there and I was just sticking to my lines. As the track wore out it just got harder and I knew that it would be harder for Chad to get by me. We got our back against the wall and I'm going to try to win every race from here on out.
