KEN SCHRADER, NO. 36 M&M'S PONTIAC GRAND PRIX:

(ON YOUR LAP) "Well, I made it back. You've got to thrill yourself. You've got to thrill yourself when you qualify at these places. But, I'm ready to get in race mode. We had such a good car here in June and didn't get to show it, and I think this one will be just as good. We'll be alright."

(HOW DID IT FEEL GOOD TO GET BACK TO WORK TODAY?) "It just felt good. Unfortunately, everything isn't resolved, yet, and there's no telling how long that will take. But, it felt good.

"It felt good to come in and see my race car. I'm really proud of it and of Mars (team sponsor). It's pretty strong when you're a sponsor in this business and you feel enough about something to take your name off of the car."
