DALE JARRETT --88-- Quality Care Service/Ford Credit Taurus (Finished 9th) -- "We just didn't need the caution pitting on the backstretch. That just killed us. We just needed it go green racing and just didn't get that, but we have to qualify better."

THE CAR RAN WELL UNDER GREEN. "Yeah, the car was pretty good. We weren't as good as those guys right up front, but we had a top-five car if we could have just kept green flag racing."

ARE YOU HAPPY WITH WHERE YOU STARTED AND HOW IT FINISHED? "Yeah, it was a good day. It could have been a little better if we could have just got some green flag racing there at the end. That's all we needed was for it to go green and I think we had a top-five car, but pitting on the backstretch hurt us and we'll just have to qualify better."

A TYPICAL BRISTOL NIGHT? "Yeah, pretty typical. A lot of beating and banging, a lot of good cars and you just get what you can get."

POINTS WISE KNOWING WHAT THIS TRACK CAN DO ARE YOU HAPPY? "We gained some points and that's what we have to do every week. If we can continue to do that, we'll be in good shape. We've got some good tracks coming up for us, so, hopefully, we can continue to do the same thing."
