JEFF BURTON --99-- Exide Batteries Taurus (Finished 6th) -- "The last caution helped us a lot. We were real good at the end, but we didn't have the track position we needed because of being on the back, but it was a good night for us starting in the back. Gaining all of those spots and being the back, it's a good night for us."

WHAT'S YOUR MINDSET STARTING FROM THE BACK? "You have to be patient. As difficult as Bristol is and as easy as it is to be impatient, you've gotta be patient. You've gotta take your time and let things happen. When you try to make it happen you get yourself in trouble and you've gotta have a good car too. If you don't have a good car you can't go anywhere."

YOU'RE HAPPY THEN. "We're real happy. We finished sixth -- it was a hard-fought night -- we made a valiant run and did all we could do. We were the highest finisher on the back straightaway and we finished first in class."
