«I was fading so I don't really have any complaints with the way that he raced me. I passed him two or three times earlier in the day and found another line and worked my way around the outside of him. I was a little surprised that he continually drove it in and kept trying to blast me in the center. I think he probably hit me for four or five laps and the time that he got by me, he really had my wheels off the ground and I couldn't get in the gas and he got inside of me and from there drove on and drove away from me. This is short track racing.»

«I think if there weren't so many questions on it, you might get some more reactions on the track. You might see payback. With all the attention drawn to it, no one's going to make a mistake. I guess the fans are being shorted in an ironic way.»

«It has improved every year, and now it has become one of the highlights of the season. Not only did it get a second race, but a race in the Chase for the Championship has made Texas even more important to everyone in our sport.»

«I personally think it has a lot to do with Jeff Gordon and what he's done here over the years.»

«For a guy who wants to slow down, Mark Martin hasn't lost his desire or his edge. He's winning and competing. He's really respected in our sport.»

«I wouldn't expect that stuff to take place this weekend, the speeds are too high. We can't bump each other and lean on each other like you would at a short track.»

«Competition does weird things to people. I haven't seen a huge lack of disrespect or evil driving, but we're professionals and we know we have to deliver results.»

«It was a good day. It started off bad. The car just wasn't handling right early on and it took us a while to get hooked up. It's not the finish we wanted, but the team did a great job.»

«It's early, but still, it's Richmond.»
