Bodine Quotes: "First, we had a great truck. That truck has always been fast but it just could never lead a draft and the guys went to work after Daytona and found some things and got it to lead the draft. It just made it that much better. I was just the lucky guy driving it. I've always said that about this crew. These guys work hard every week and just very fortunate to be a part of this team. We had a great truck. It was fast and we were fortunate to be in front of all the wrecks. I got lucky on a couple of moves and things went our way there. There at the end, I knew Rick was going to try somewhere, obviously, and he waited to the front and came up just a little short. He had a great run. He had a good truck. I'm very proud and glad to come out on top for a change. I've always run well at the speedways. Daytona and Talladega have always been one of my strong tracks. I just never quite got it done and we finally got it done so that's probably the best part of this whole thing."

Mike Skinner holds a two-race lead (8-6) over Hornaday Jr. in the overall WIX Filters Lap Leader standings.
