Jeff Gordon, No. 24 Dupont Chevrolet Monte Carlo:
"We're real disappointed in that run. We were real good in practice. As the sun continues to make the track hotter, it just keeps getting slicker. I don't know, I guess we just weren't able to stay up with it 'cause we got a little loose in (turns) one and two. If you bobble just the tiniest bit here in qualifying, you're going to struggle. When I went to make by second lap, I got real wide in (turns) one and two. I just hoped that first one wasn't too bad. And it wasn't very good. We got a great car and it's been fast all day. We're going to have us a good day on Sunday and we're looking forward to it."
