It's great to have this Bass Pro Shops Mopar car in victory lane, ... We've been struggling all year long, but it just goes to show that with hard work with [engine builder] Paul Kistler and everybody at Mopar, when you get these engines running these racecars will roll around the racetrack.

We probably had a fifth-place car, ... The Mopar had been running great so we put another engine in and it would run wide open but that was it. I couldn't throttle it. It wouldn't take off, wouldn't do anything. To run across the bottom you had to lift a little bit. But I'm just tickled. We're making progress. A top four for us is a victory. We had an opportunity to run better, but as long as we're going forward that's all we're working toward.

It looked like [Meyers] could maneuver anywhere but the top and my car was good on the top and bottom,

Kraig was running a great line up there and we hadn't gotten into lapped traffic yet,

I hit those corners very good, but for the King to go by me, there had to be rubber there. I went down there and felt it and I got to him and I backed off because I didn't want to show him.

I had been looking around for rubber the whole time,
