Chevrolet Motorsports - Rockingham Race Quotes

Rockingham, NC

Mike McLaughlin -34- Royal Oak Monte Carlo

"Man, I was trying to catch him (Mark Martin). I was pedaling all I was worth. I had a good car, but it wasn't good enough for that 60 car. I couldn't touch him, but I tried my best."

Randy LaJoie -74- Fina Monte Carlo

(Started 41st and wound up seventh, his second straight seventh-place finish) "We only took two tires on that last stop, while the others took four. All we were trying to do was make up some track position and then hold on. It paid off. It was a smart move by Steve (Bird). Let's talk again here in October and see where we are."

David Green -95- Caterpillar Monte Carlo

"Yeah, we were consistent, all right, consistently tight, all day. At one time, we were pretty good when Kirk (Shelmerdine, the team's consultant) came over and spent some time in the pits and we made a lot of changes that seemed to make it better, but by then, we were so far back that it was awful hard to make up ground."

Jeff Purvis -4- Phoenix Construction Monte Carlo

"Our car was good. We needed a long, green run, which we never got. Our car was better for a long run, but I don't know if we could have run with Mark (Martin), even if we had a long run or not."

Ricky Craven -2- Dupont/Teflon Monte Carlo

"We dropped a cylinder with about 10 laps to go and that's when we got passed by all them cars and, then with five laps to go it got even worse. I don't even know why this car finished. It was amazing."

Mark Green -37- Timberwolf Monte Carlo

"It's very disappointing (about being involved in the incidedent on lap 41). It's a long race. No one is going to win in the first 30 or 40 laps. Fortunately, we were able to put the car back together and get some more laps under our belt."
