MARK MARTIN --6-- Valvoline/Cummins Taurus (Finished 4th)
-- "We had a real good setup under the car and late in the race
there we got the car a little bit too tight. I probably overreacted a
little bit early in the race. I was trying to get set up to win the race.
We were a third place car, a fourth place car, and we tried a little bit
harder. Maybe we should have sat where we were, but it was gonna take a
change to get us in position to contend to win and we made those changes
and it hurt us a little." WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION TO RACING A CUP CAR HERE
FOR THE FIRST TIME? "I thought it was great, it's a great race track." IS
IT HARD TO PASS OUT THERE? IS THAT A CHARACTERISTIC OF FLAT RACE TRACKS?
"I don't know, I passed everybody I caught. I don't know. I love it, it's
a great track."
