JEREMY MAYFIELD --12-- Mobil 1 Taurus (Finished 7th) -- HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THAT RACE? "It wasn't long enough. We need about another 500 (laughing). I wish we would have qualified better and started up front, maybe it wouldn't have been as bad. It seemed like all day long we were giving it all we had. We really used our car up and I'm just proud of the guys. It's another top 10 and that's all we've got."

WITH SO MUCH GOING ON IS IT HARD TO KEEP TRACK OF WHERE YOU'RE AT? "No, you just ask where the leader's at, that's all you're after and then you just go all you can go as hard as you can go."

WHAT WAS IT LIKE OUT THERE? "Crazy. A lot of wrecks, a lot of cautions, a lot of track position, a lot of weird stuff going on."

WHAT ABOUT THE LAST SIX LAPS? "We came in and put tires on because we had nothing to lose. I went to the outside and that's all we had."
