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

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.

Out front is the place to be, but you still are not safe, ... There is always lapped traffic and sometimes you can't tell the difference no matter where you are on the track.

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.

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,
