"With a little more experience, I'm sure I could of led a lot more than I did," stated Johns, who also drives the No. 25 in the NASCAR Busch Series for Team Rensi Motorsports. "I learned a lot drafting up in the front. At the end we just had to be patient and grab the best finish possible. I have to thank everyone on the team and especially all of the support from BeavEx Courier Systems, Reliance Tool, Byus Construction, Motorsports Marketing Solutions and Ford Racing."

"Richard did a great job in his first restrictor plate race," commented Crew Chief Gary Roulo. "We knew we had a good car for the race and we worked with Richard during the open test and practice to get him comfortable to be up front. We used the first part of the race to search for where the car wanted to run and the car was working so well we only needed to pit once during the first caution for right side tires and fuel."
Roulo continued, "We tried keeping all the Ford's together at the front of the pack and it almost worked. I have to thank everyone at Roush Yates Engines for supplying the power under the hood."
