Rick Ren, crew chief, #60 CAT Rental Stores Chevy:    "We had to use some pit strategy tonight.  I pitted it like it was a road course, we short pitted.  It was all we had, but we're happy with third for tonight." (12:17 am ET) 

Robert Pressley, #18 Dickies Dodge:    "We wanted to be better, and I wish I could've gotten up there and raced with Terry, but those cautions really hurt us." (12:15 am ET) 

Darrell Waltrip, #17 Tide Dodge:    "We thought we would just try to hang in there and get to the end-we had to miss whatever happened on the last lap-we could get a pretty good finish.  Jeff made a great call to get four tires and Larry made a great call to get me through the wreck.  We came home sixth, and that is a good night.  What a great time!" (12:13 am ET)

Jason Leffler, #2 Team ASE/CarQuest Dodge:    "We were just off a little bit tonight.  I just wish we had half what the 29 is running as far as rules and everything-we'd be set.  I wish we could have taken the win, but we'll take all the second-places we can get."  (12:11 am ET)

Rick Crawford, #14 Circle Bar/EJP Ford:    "I don't know what happened in turn one.  The 16 spun in front of me on the last lap and all I saw was smoke.  I floored it to try to get back around.  He had me pinned up by the wall and I just drove it out of there because I wanted to finish the race.  Our eighth-place truck turned into an 11th-place truck."(12:09 am ET)

The #79 RDS Dodge of Jerry Hill is changing motors.  Their backup engine was in the #55 of Tom Powers.  Powers has decided to withdraw his entry after the damage to his truck was found to me more severe than originally anticipated.  So, they are pulling the engine out of the #55 to put into the #79.  (3:37 pm ET)

Loni Richardson had an adventurous practice session.  "I don't know what happened on that deal with Dennis (Setzer).  I slowed up to let him go by me because I thought he was on a sticker run.  He got by me, but then when he passed me he just slowed and I really didn't have anywhere to go.  I tried to hit him square in the tail so I wouldn't mess him up too much.  We knocked the radiator out and messed up the top of the nose, but we have it fixed." (3:35 pm ET)

While discussing setup issues with his team, one fan yelled for an autograph and soon there was a mob surrounding three-time Winston Cup Series champion Darrell Waltrip.  The impromptu autograph session lasted only a couple of moments, but left many fans with an unforgettable memory.  Waltrip says the truck is solid, but they could have used a little more practice.  He thinks they will be "just fine for the race." (3:32 pm ET)

Who is Jody McCormick?  "I have driven a lot of Late Model Stock Car stuff in Carolina and Virginia," he said.  "We tried to run Martinsville and Memphis, but didn't qualify.  We are looking to run Richmond, South Boston, and Homestead after this.  Right now I am working on getting approved for the bigger tracks.  NASCAR says if we stay out of trouble the next few races, we should be a go for Homestead." (3:28 pm ET)

Talk about a small world.  David Starr drove his first asphalt late model race in a car owned by Blake Mallory's father.  "I drove on the dirt tracks around Houston and all over Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma for a long time.  The first asphalt car I ever drove was Mr. Mallory's, and we've been after it ever since.  I think we will have a good run tonight.  You need to loosen it up for qualifying because they impound them afterwards and the track will tighten up for the race.  You need to have a good qualifying run, but you have to leave some room for some adjustibility too." (3:25 pm ET)

Robert Pressley and Rick Crawford were seen comparing notes after practice concluded. (4:22 pm ET)

Carlos Contreras has spoken.  Much like he did at Loudon, he has predicted Terry Cook will win tonight's Power Stroke 200.  In fact, Contreras said Cook will win, "and win big."  Cook was the dominant truck in the afternoon's practice session, staying at the top of the chart all session long.  As is the norm at flat tracks, the team has brought Droopy Dog, a drop snout chassis.
