"Team Motorola did a great job with strategy today. We were equal pace with the leaders but I think some of the guys just got better fuel mileage than we did today. It was a case of who could stay out the longest on a tank of fuel and I ended up with one more stop. We finished in decent shape and gained some points. The EuroSpeedway was actually very nice to race on. They've done a great job with this facility, it's just first class."

"At this point in the season it's all about being consistent and scoring points. Team Motorola did one hell of a job today, the guys had great pit stops and Michael delivered on the race track. The entire crew had a very heads up race today. We've lost a couple of points to Kenny (Brack) in the Championship but Michael has so much experience and handles the pressure of the Championship so well that I'm confident we'll close the points gap."
