Todd Bodine, Germain Racing, No. 30 Lumber Liquidators Tundra: "We had a decent truck, but it wasn't really that good. It was really 'tight' behind people, and it was really 'loose' in front of people. I was really slipping and sliding, but I think everybody was doing the same thing. We just missed the set-up a little bit. Not having a chance to qualify hurt us because we didn't know what we had, and we could have made adjustments from that. We finished ahead of the guys that are second and third in the points, so that's a bonus. We still got a top-10. But, we have to work hard and come back at Kentucky. 'Points-racing', you just have to get the best you can get. At the end, I got 'tight' and that messed me up for a few laps. It took me a while to get out in the open, but when I did I could start passing some of them trucks back. We fell back to 10th and ended up seventh. I just needed a few more laps to get back up front."

Mike Skinner, Bill Davis Racing, No. 5 Toyota Tundra: "Last year here, we could definitely blame it on the driver. I had the best truck, but sped down pit road. Although, we came back and finished fourth. We shot ourselves in the foot then, and we shot ourselves in the foot again today. We had an awesome set of tires. My truck was really fast when we were out front. We did what we should have done (when we took tires on the last pit stop). Then we got a set of tires that wasn't that good, probably the worst set we had all weekend. I had an awesome Tundra and I thought I was going to have a chance to make it three wins in a row for Bill Davis Racing. (Johnny Benson won the past two races in the No. 23 Bill Davis Racing Tundra.) It just wasn't meant to be today. I'm grateful to have a truck that is competitve, but we just have to figure out how not to shoot ourselves in the foot."

David Starr, Red Horse Racing, No. 11 Red Horse Racing Tundra: "My crew did a great job on pit road, they just kept getting me spots. Jamie Jones, my crew chief, kept making my truck better and better. I know we finished eighth, in the top-10, but I couldn't get past Ron (Hornaday) at the end. Every time I tried to get past him, he would squeeze me in the corner and I'd almost crash. And, we lost two or three spots right there at the end. I was able to get back a little and our finish wasn't too bad. We are working on our speedway program. We keep working to get back into the top-10 regularly every weekend. We'll keep working at it. It wasn't a bad day."
