Travis Kvapil - No. 6 K&N Filters Ford F-150 - (Finished 1st, qualified 10th)
This is his second win of the season and seventh of his career, take us through your run. "Well, right off the truck we were P1 in practice and slid back a little bit as the day went on. We never made a qualifying run in practice and qualified 10th. I knew it wasn't what I thought we should be doing or as good as we thought we'd be. Then we started the race, and it was not bad. We just worked our way up through. Then our first pit stop, I think we came in fifth, told the guys what the truck was doing, Mike Beam [crew chief] and Hal [Ralston, engineer] knocked out an awesome stop and on top of that made adjustments. We came in fifth and out third. Hornaday and Skinner and those guys, they're just crazy. You get those guys on a restart and they're out for blood and they started banging into each other. I got around Skinner and a few laps later got around Ron. The truck was really good. On the second stop, we just made another minor adjustment in the same direction of the first stop. Then kind of drove away from there for a bit. I thought the 9 truck [Brad Keselowski] was the only one I had to race with and he was really good in the long run. Then later in the long run, my truck started coming back. With lapped track, we diced back and forth a few times. It was a great race. I'm a big, big Brad Keselowski fan. I told him in Daytona pre-season testing to keep digging and that he'd find something and I'm a believer in his talent. I told him before the race that this was his chance and definitely not how I race. I did not intend to spin him around, but getting down to it, his truck really was not getting through the middle of the corner at all. Really slowing down, almost to a stop in the middle of the corner to try and get pointed in the other direction to get going. Whereas my truck was still rolling really good. Getting down to it, I had to go, had to make something happen. I bumped him a little bit, just trying to get him to go up a lane, and get under him. I ended up turning him around. As soon as I hit him, I backed off and hoping he could get it gathered up and wasn't able to. I feel bad that I turned Brad around. That's definitely not the way I wanted to do it. And he owes me one down the road."

Have you talked to Brad since the race ended? "No, not at all. Just, obviously through our spotters, I apologized. That doesn't mean nothing, definitely. If not, as soon as I get out of here and he's still around, or I'll give him a call tomorrow or track him down. Like I said, I talked to him before the season started and I talk to him as much as I can this season just encouraging him because I believe in his talent. Again this afternoon, before driver intros, I told him he was doing an awesome job and get 200 laps in and this is a great opportunity for him. A few weeks ago in Texas, the Germain truck took me out there with a few laps to go. It's part of racing and especially in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series."

You really stalked Brad for a bit of the race. Was it part of your plan to use his inexperience a little bit to get up behind him, have him make a mistake and get around him that way? "No, I definitely wasn't going [to do that]. I was going as hard as I could go. Anyway, it was so much fun. We were both coming off the corner sideways and I bounced mine off the wall once, just going as hard as I could go and keep pressure on him. I could roll in the corner better than he could, but he could point and drive off better than I could. It was kind of unique how our trucks were working a little bit differently. I knew, in the long run my truck, I thought would prevail. Anytime you can roll the middle of corner good, it's where you got to have the speed. He was really having to slow his truck down to get it to stop and point and go the other way, where mine would roll through there pretty good. So, I was hoping to keep the pressure on him and he would slip up. A couple of times, in the lapped traffic and stuff, we were racing pretty hard and side-by-side and we both were sliding around and he just did an awesome job all night. I'm really proud of him. I think it showed his talent. He did a really great job and I feel bad that's how his result was, but definitely not the plan."

Do you think a young guy like that needs to be in a race like this to really learn? "Yes, I think, I mean, it's different. Brad's run a lot of Truck and Busch races in the past. But it's different when you're running, maybe in sub-par equipment running 20th and 25th to contending for the lead, contending for the win. It's a whole different mentality. You've got to be on the kill, almost. You can't be 'Mr. Nice Guy' anymore. He was doing a great job. He was driving the heck out of his No. 9 truck and just doing a great job all night long. That's not how I want to race. I can apologize all I want, it don't mean nothing. He didn't get a good result. I was just really proud how he ran tonight."

You said he owes you one. "Yea, I think so. I don't know. What are you going to do? Like I said, I apologized to the kid and said I was sorry, but what are you going to do? That's racing. Like I said, a few weeks ago I thought I had one in the bag and that didn't work out for my favor either. So, you've kinda got to live with it and move on. I just hope something great will come out of this for him tonight. He definitely showed his ability and hopefully he'll get something full-time and be a contender winning for more."

You won two out of the last three races. What does that mean for your team or for any championship aspirations you have? "Well, this is about the only thing we can do is win races. We're at a pretty big deficit right now from Skinner and Hornaday, I think, and Bodine. We're almost 300 points out going into it. Finishing like we did tonight, I don't think we can win the championship when these guys finish third and fourth. You're not going to gain 300 points in 10 races or whatever we have left on these guys. It's going to come down to these guys having a couple of bad days and we're just going to have to be there in the top-five to capitalize on it. Hopefully, these guys will have it coming. Skinner is having just an unbelievable season. I think his worst finish of the year has been seventh. So, our team has come a long way since races two, three and four of the season. We were not a contender at all. We were running 15th and 16th and kind of embarrassing Jack Roush. He did an awesome job and sitting us all down. He cut the trucks up for me and got them to the wind tunnel and changed the set-ups for me, adapted to what I needed, and what Erik Darnell needed and Kansas was a big turnaround, where my teammate won the race. Ever since then, we've been rolling."

Peter Shepherd - No. 50 Northern Tool + Equipment Ford F-150 - (Finished 15th, qualified 15th)
"I'm pretty pleased with the run. We qualified 15th and we finished 15th. I think a lot of it was good track position. I was as good as everybody else. I guess I slacked off a little bit in qualifying. We were running good and had a 12th to 15th place car. We'll take the momentum and come back bettering in two weeks."

Joey Clanton - No. 09 Zaxby's Ford F-150 - (Finished 30th, qualified 27th)
"I don't know if we blew a tire out or broke a tire rod. I think we broke a tire rod. We didn't get in it with anybody, just something failed. We just rode the rest of the race because I wanted to see if we could run laps as fast as the leaders. Our Zaxby's Ford F-150 was running with the leaders, so it was as fast as I thought it was. The truck was awesome; it was a third place truck, we just wanted to see if I could run speeds with the leaders and I could. It's frustrating, but we knew we had a good truck and that's the main thing."

Rick Crawford - No. 14 Power Stroke Diesel by International Ford F-150 - (Finished 28th, qualified 17th)
"At the beginning of the race we were running two wide in a little over a half-mile short track. We were on the bottom and the bottom lane wasn't going anywhere, so tried to go to the topside and passed a couple of trucks. There were a lot of things going on, a lot of racing going on. We took the splitter off of another truck, which took our left rear tire off. It looked like it exploded on the left rear and exploded the inside of the truck. It took the battery; it took out all the interior sheet metal and took out the left rear quarter panel. We came into the pit several times and lost some laps. With severe damage like that, even if you are Built Ford Tough, and your trying to make Bold Moves in the Power Stroke Diesel by International Ford F-150, there's not much you can do but hang on and just finish the race and that's what we did tonight. We just need to do better for the Built Ford Tough 225 presented by the Greater Cincinnati Ford Dealers race in Kentucky coming up week after next and win the thing. We finished second there last year, so we just need to pass one truck this year.

Crew Chief Kevin "Cowboy" Starland mentioned the battery acid was in the truck. "Yes, I had battery acid all over me. You know, even with an exploded battery, the Ford Power Stroke by International kept running. Die Hard has been my battery sponsor since I stared in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and I've never had a battery failure. This battery was destroyed. It looked like something that you just dropped on a race track. This battery was destroyed, but the motor kept running and allowed us to get some pit stops to repair. Then we had to change the battery, I felt somebody touch me during the pit stop and I know they didn't reach in the truck and so what it was, they were reaching around to secure the battery on something and someone was touching my arm in the truck. I knew all the fire wall and stuff was blown out of the truck."

Kevin "Cowboy" Starland - No. 14 - Crew Chief: "I guess Rick and Benson were racing pretty hard and I imagine Johnny got a little loose and got into Rick's left rear tire and blew it out and backed Rick into the wall from there. It was survival after that."

You were pushing the crew hard to get as much fixed as you could so Crawford wouldn't go a lap down. "I think we would have stayed on the lead lap if the battery didn't explode when the tire went down. When the tire went down, it destroyed the battery. We had nothing to attach it to; NASCAR wouldn't let us out [of the pits] until we properly attached it. We lost a couple of laps in the pits trying to reattach the battery. But overall, I think we could have stayed on the lead lap all night. We were just surviving after that incident. It was Built Ford Tough - it just kept running."

Erik Darnell - No. 99 Northern Tool + Equipment Ford F-150 - (Finished 9th, qualified 7th)
"The Northern Tool + Equipment Ford F-150 was running great especially at the early part of the race. So we were just cruising around in fourth, letting it role and not pushing anything too hard and the truck was good. We were fourth and finished the race in 14th or 15th. It is hard to pass here and track position means a lot, it's tough to overcome."

David Starr - No. 10 International MaxxForce Diesel Ford F-150 - (Finished 13th, qualified 14th)
"I'm a little disappointed in our International MaxxForce Diesel Ford F-150 today. We were too tight in the center and kept sliding. We made some adjustments, but we just couldn't fix it. It seems like it stopped in the center of the corner instead of rolling through the center. They were right in front of me all night and I just couldn't do anything with it. I'm disappointed, but we're getting better as a whole racing team and I'm excited about that. It's just unfortunate; I thought we'd get out of here with a little better finish than that. We'll keep working and keep making this International MaxxForce Diesel team better and better. We're learning and we're getting there."

Kevin Wood - No. 21 Ravenswood Ford F-150 - (Finished 27th, qualified 19th)
"I don't know what to say. This is a whole different world out here. We started off tight and got the truck running better there near the end. There were times when I could have been in the top-10, but being my first time, I gave plenty of room to let the others go by. I was running hard, but also trying to get some respect out there and not get labeled as a 'weapon' or anything. I wanted to finish the race and that's what we did."
