JEREMY MAYFIELD --12-- Mobil 1 Taurus (Finished 3rd) -- "We're excited. That's another good day for us. Like I said, we're on our way back and we proved it again." TALK ABOUT SOME OF YOUR STRATEGY. YOU MADE A KEY TWO-TIRE STOP THAT GOT YOU UP FRONT EARLY. "That's what we needed, to get track position. They made a good call and got us up there and once we did that we were in good shape." WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO END ON A GOOD NOTE? "We've had this momentum going for a long time and this is what we needed, to end the season on a great note with a good run." WHAT ABOUT THOSE LAST COUPLE OF LAPS? "It was good. I couldn't really see going into one because the sun was shining hard. I went in a little hot trying to make up all the distance there on the last lap and he got me. It's an honor for me to be able to race a champion like that and know that our team is back in order again."
