NASCAR WCUP: Jeff Burton, Pontiac Excitement 400 Post Race Quotes

17 May 1999

JEFF BURTON: 99- Exide Batteries Taurus -- "You're gonna have nights like that. Everybody has them, not just us. We don't like them when they happen, but everybody has nights that don't go like you want them to and we had ours tonight. You have to limit the nights you have like that and, hopefully, this will be one of the last ones we have this year." IS IT HARDER WHEN YOU WERE LEADING THE RACE? "It makes it harder. When you're running well and you think you have a chance to win there's no question that it makes it harder. When you do have a problem and you feel like you can win it magnifies the problem. But at the end of the day the points are the same whether you had a chance to win or not. You get paid the points based on how you finish and we had a part failure and we finished way back so we'll get relegated to those points." WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM? "It was the transmission. We broke the transmission." HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THIS NIGHT? "It was a little wild. I was real happy with my car. The car drove great. We had great pit stops, we just broke a part."
