June 4, 2001Steve Park, No. 1 Pennzoil Chevrolet Monte Carlo (finished 2nd):
"What can I say about this Pennzoil Chevrolet? What a great racecar, what a great race team. I'm a little disappointed - man, Jeff (Gordon) was fast. He was just driving the wheels off that thing and I was too -- trying to catch him. We'll take second (place) today, but we're not happy about it. Paul (Andrews, crew chief) and the guys just did a fantastic job. I'd like to thank Pennzoil and all these great race fans here in Dover."
(With limited practice due to the rain, how did that affect you?) "I think running the Busch race helped a little bit. Paul and the guys have really been in instrumental in helping us with that Busch program and getting it running good. And that's what it's all about. I run the Busch Series just to get better myself and try to learn something. We're just getting back on track. It's just the beginning of this Pennzoil team getting back up toward the front of the field."
