JASON LEFFLER, No. 38 Great Clips Toyota Camry, Braun Racing
Finishing Position: 5th

How tough was it to finish fifth with no power steering? "It was really tough. Where it showed up was in traffic and on restarts and stuff. If I caught people one-on-one I could go by them. Just getting in hard, it was ripping the wheel out of my hand and stuff, but we'll work on that. The guys, Scott Zipadelli (crew chief) -- they all did a great job. Pit road the guys have been doing a great job for me all year long. I have to thank everybody at Braun, Great Clips, Dollar General and all our sponsors -- Todd Braun, Ralph Braun and the whole Braun family for what they do. I'm looking forward to going to Kentucky and maybe getting that 50-grand that Nationwide is putting up."

MICHAEL MCDOWELL, No. 47 Constructionjobs.com Toyota Camry, JTG-Daugherty Racing
Finishing Position: 8th

Were you happy with your race tonight? "It was kind of was a struggle really. We really struggled with the car the first half of the race but we made more adjustments and got it pretty close handling at the end and then with about 70 to go we went down a cylinder -- unfortunate because we were starting to make some progress. It's disappointing for sure starting third and dropping back to eighth, but for us right now we only have four or five races left so top-10's are good and hopefully we get in the top-10 in points. It's good to be disappointed with a top-10 for us."
