Todd Bodine leads Johnny Benson by 86 points in the Craftsman Truck Series championship with three races remaining on the 2006 schedule.

Todd Bodine, No. 30 Lumber Liquidators Tundra, Germain Racing:
What happened today? "The right front went flat. These tires are real bad about 'chunking' the outside edge and coming apart, and that's exactly what happened to us. Fortunately, I was riding the rim and I felt it was going to go. There's nothing we can do about it."

Did you know something happened to Johnny Benson? "I saw him back there at the bottom. I hate it for them. At least we both had problems the same day, so it was a wash. David (Reutimann) had a great day, he's probably not that far behind us now. Teddy (Musgrave) was going to have a good day and he got a flat at the end."

How was your truck? "We were OK. We weren't very good. It probably would have been a top-10 truck. At the end, I was running with those guys, just trying to stay out of the way. We got some work to do on figuring out this tire because we have to go to Texas with the same stuff next week."

How do you feel about the next three races? "I'm concerned. We have to get our truck handling better to figure out what's wrong. We'll go there (Texas) and do the best we can."

How do you feel about the points race? "It's not good at all. Fortunately, they had problems when we had problems. It comes down to who has the worst luck."

Johnny Benson, No. 23 NAPA Tundra, Bill Davis Racing:
What happened? "We've had a couple of drive train issues this year and a drive shaft came apart. It made for an interesting race, that's for sure. The guys did a great job getting it changed out. We've had a great year, but Todd's also having a great year. We're both having good years and when we have problems, we both seem to have them on the same day. I don't know what that's about. It' just one of those deals. We'll just go to the next three and do the best we can do, and that's all we can do."

Did you think about the points during the race? "You think about it. Twice this year we could have gained some when Todd (Bodine) had problems, and we had problems in the same race. He always seems to benefit from it. It seems like it's going to be his championship. We're still going to do everything we can, but you can't use very many 'mulligans.' He's used a couple, and we've used some. Both teams are very even."

Do you still have a shot at the points title? "It is mathematically possible. Realistically, I don't think so. It's going to take problems. I thought we were going to gain some today and we had problems. That's what it's going to take. We have to gain 22 points a race. You just don't gain those. That's hard to do."
