This is Jack Sprague's second win this year in the No. 60 Con-way Freight Tundra. He also won the NCTS race at Memphis. In both his wins this season, he started from the pole. It is also his 27th career Craftsman Truck Series win.

Jack Sprague, No. 60 Con-way Freight Tundra, Wyler Racing:
"We were really thinking hard about not stopping. But, I knew if we didn't, there wouldn't be enough cautions. I would get stuck and we'd run out of gas. I think Ted (Musgrave) would have made it the way he was going, I'm not sure what happened. Ted was tough. I'm not sure I could have passed him at the end. The outside was working for me, it would have been a pretty good race. I would have knocked him out to win, and he would have knocked me out to keep me from it."

"We've had a rough month. We've been fast enough to win a couple of races, especially Talladega. To win at Martinsville is unbelievable. I'm terrible here, so this is really cool."

"I don't like this place (Martinsville), although I do now. It might now be one of my new favorite places. I've really struggled here. I've run third here four or five times. I just can't get around this place real good. But, this thing was hooked up good today. It was awesome off the bottom and it would come off the corner so good. As long as I didn't spin the tires, we had the whole race on the rights (tires) and 170 laps on the lefts (tires), it would be as good at the end as it was at the beginning."

"This means a lot to me. My Tundra was good yesterday. It was good in qualifying and I knew it would be good in the race. I just had to take care of my brakes and tires. My Tundra was unbelievable. I ran the fastest laps of the day when David (Starr) got into second. I was afraid he might have something for me at the end. We thought about not stopping for fuel, but with my luck we would have ran out of gas."

David Starr, No. 11 Red Horse Racing Tundra, Red Horse Racing:
How did you get by Erik Darnell?
"My truck would get through the center better than he did. He was able to stop his truck, get it to rotate and then get back on the gas. That killed my momentum. I couldn't really get off the corner. But, what he kept doing, his truck was getting tighter and tighter, and he would really arc it in the corner to get a straighter shot off the corner. On the restart he left a lane there and I shot in there and closed the lane up. I don't think his spotter realized I was there. He cut down on me and got himself loose. I was able to take advantage of it."

"Just because you won a race here in the spring doesn't me you're going to do it again. But, I'm confident because I have Jamie Jones (crew chief) on my side. Every time we unload at a short track, we are always a contender. I knew if I could do my job, we would be one to contend with here. But to come here and repeat I knew we had our work cut out for us. After we hit the wall in the second practice session, I had a lot of question marks coming into the race. We qualified 11th, which was four spots higher than we qualified in the spring. As the race went on, I said to myself: 'I have a pretty good piece here.'"

Todd Bodine, No. 30 Lumber Liquidators Tundra, Germain Racing:
"We did what we had to do and wee were going to have a top-five finish, when someone ran into me and I cut a tire down. We did the best we could. This hurts pretty good."
