Finishing Position: 10th

Did your car handle differently in the race than practice? "I'm not sure what happened. We just lost all of our speed. We had a good car in practice and thought we were going to be able to battle with the leaders during the race. We were just fighting the thing all night. Scott (Zipadelli, crew chief) and the guys worked hard on pit road to try to make it better, but it just never came to us. It was another top-10 finish for this Great Clips team, but I'm disappointed because I thought we were going to challenge for the win."

Finishing Position: 12th

Can you talk about your race tonight? "We had to overcome some adversity tonight. We really had to work on the car and finally got it decent at the end of the race. Unfortunately we had a tire get away from us and we had to overcome that, but that's stuff that happens every once in a while. Jerry (Baxter, crew chief) and I learned a lot tonight, and I continue to get more comfortable in these cars. For this being only my third race with the team, I can't be too disappointed with the result."

What did the team do to try and make the car better? "This was the first time with these guys that we've really had to work on the car. The Aaron's Dream Machine is a winning race car and these Michael Waltrip Racing guys are a championship-caliber team. Jerry (Baxter, crew chief) and I continue to get better at communicating with each other, and that will only get better the more time I have in the seat."
