Erik Darnell - No. 99 Northern Tool + Equipment F-150 (finished 3rd)
"All the guys put a really good truck together for us today. The Northern Tool + Equipment Ford was good on the shorter runs, but you'd get into the longer runs and things would start getting tight and I was having a hard time holding some of those guys off. We weren't as good as the 60 and the 11 today, but to come home third is a pretty good race for us."

What did you think when you saw Mark Martin on your back bumper? "Well, I mean, it's Mark Martin coming up behind you. He's one of the best out there. But at the same time I know I'm fortunate to have him as a teammate and I know he'd come up behind me and run me clean, and I was fortunate for that. He got there and raced me hard a couple of times, but I was able to stay in front of him. It was a good run for us today."

Mark Martin - No. 6 Scotts F-150 (finished 4th)
"Mike Beam and the Scotts F-150 team did a super job here today, executed a great race. We were just a whisker off and we just couldn't pass. We were fine, we never got passed all day, but we only made one pass all day. That's what we had."

Late in the race you got a chance to race against your teammate Erik Darnell. "Erik did a great job today; it was an absolutely flawless race for Erik. Super job, and I didn't want to be the one to mess his day up, so I had to be kind of careful."
