Dale Earnhardt Jr., No. 8 Budweiser Chevrolet Monte Carlo (finished 3rd):
"I've got to thank Budweiser and everybody for their support this year. They've been great. The car handled great. We've kind of turned the corner the last four weeks and started running in the top 10. And we got back up there in the points and I'm real happy about that. I know it makes the guys on the team happy. They've worked real hard to get here. It's been a bad week. But it's my daddy's 50th birthday and we come home 3rd so we've got something to celebrate."
