Jeff Ward Quotes - "We should have finished worse than tenth. We finished tenth so I'm happy there. We never got a handle on the car. The car was doing one thing and saying another. Every restart it would do something different. One time it would push and another time it would be loose. I was being consistent on warming up the tires. I don't know why it reacted that way."

"The car got better at the end there. It was not bad. I could run with everybody. On the longer runs it was better. It just wasn't planted all the way around."

"It was pretty slippery out there, a lot of rubber down everywhere. If you got off line a little bit, you're in the wall. That's why a lot of guys crashed today."
