The rain must have washed away the rubber we built up on the top (of the track), and that was obviously the fastest way around. We had a good race car. It's just frustrating to run second. I'd rather run fifth.

They crashed because the track didn't have a lot of rubber on it. On top of that, it just so happened a lot of media was stomping around here. A lot of times we go to test and crash and you never hear about it.

Junior got shuffled out. Stewart was all over the place. (Lamar) came up there. It was wild. It's just as crazy (looking out) the windshield.

I definitely agree with that. You've got your adrenaline pumping, and both of us were going for it. … It was wild. It wasn't just at the finish. We were bumping each other all the way through (turns) three and four.

I knew this AC Delco Chevy was really good in race runs. The guys had a good stop there on that last stop and got us a chance. What a good effort.

I don't know what happened. But I took a lick in the standings and hit the wall pretty hard.
