JEFF BURTON --99-- Exide Batteries Taurus (Finished 3rd)
-- "Toward the end I was trying to be offensive because we had run the 1
(car) down, but when I got to him I got really tight and then I just kept
getting slower and slower and slower. Then Mark got by me and he drove
away from me and then I got worried because I was afraid I had held him up
and cost him a chance to win the race. But that was a good run for the
Exide Taurus. We're not gonna complain with third. We're a little
disappointed because we got tight there at the end, but we're not about to
complain with third." WHAT ABOUT THE RACING TODAY? "It was a typical Watkins Glen race. I didn't see where it was a whole lot different than what Watkins Glen normally is. It's aggressive racing and if you get off course or something it's bad for you, so to me it wasn't a whole lot different."
