NASCAR WCUP: Dura Lube/KMart 400 post race quotes, Mark Martin

28 February 2000

MARK MARTIN --6-- Valvoline Taurus (Finished 8th) -- "We thought we were gonna be junk and we drove to the front and led the thing and were good even on equal tires, then we thought we were gonna be good and we were about junk like we were in practice. I can't explain it. The car handled great. I don't know how to make it better than that last set of tires and we ran as good as we could, but I guess we finished about eighth."

YOU CAME IN TO PIT WITH THE LEAD AND YOU CAME OUT AROUND 10TH AND NEVER GOT BACK TO THE FRONT. "It just never ran as good, I don't know why. I can't explain it."
