It's easy for me to sit here and say, 'Hey, this would have been my first win, Jimmie, why did you try to pass me?' Well, this was a win for him, too. I can't hold a grudge against him for that. If he wouldn't have tried to pass me for a win on the last lap, I don't know if I would have respected that.

The 5 and 25 teams have been hitting on all eight cylinders since July. I knew it was only a matter of time until one of the teams went to Victory Lane. I try not to think too much about getting that first win. We'll continue doing what we've been doing for the last two months and when it comes, it comes.

But, I am happy with the result.

Everyone did a great job,

Even though (McGrew) and I have worked together in the past, a lot of guys on the team were new, some were even new to Hendrick Motorsports. It was a learning process for all of us.
