JEFF PURVIS, NO. 4 PORTER CABLE PONTIAC GRAND PRIX:

"That's about where I've been practicing. It was just a tick slower than what we practiced. I was a little bit looser than I was anticipating being. Normally I am a little bit tight here, so we've got to work on that. But we've been OK all day. Right there at the end we started getting a little loose, but I think everybody is. With the way things have been going with us, I was pleased just to make it around."

BUCKSHOT JONES, NO. 00 CHEEZ-IT PONTIAC GRAND PRIX:

"That's about the fastest we've been since we've been here. I'm happy with it. You always want to run faster, but we've kind of been tight since we got here. We were still a little bit tight there in qualifying." (ON BRISTOL) "I love Bristol. It's a lot of fun racing here. It's fast. It's survival. It keeps you on your toes at all times."
