(ON YOUR RUN) "It was alright. I had a good run. Overall it was a good night for the Interstate Batteries Pontiac. We qualified second and finished fourth, so we can't complain too much."
(IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN TRANSFER TO THE "600" NEXT WEEK?) "I think so - a little bit. I think we've got a pretty good package here. We just need to work on it a little bit more. We've come a long way in the past few weeks and I think it's going to help our racing out."
(WAS YOUR MOVE TOWARD THE 12TH POSITION AT THE END OF THE FIRST SEGMENT A STRATEGY MOVE?) "It could have been. But it didn't really work out, so it really didn't matter. I figured if we couldn't win [that segment], then we should just get in position for the next 30 laps. That was the idea, but it just didn't work for me. It was OK. We made a good run, but we just didn't quite have enough for the guys in front of us."
