#8 Scott Sharp, Delphi Automotive Systems car:
"First of all, I'd like to congratulate my teammate Mark Dismore. It's very exciting for our entire team here at Kelley Racing. The #8 Delphi car was running great all day long. Not only did we have some great speed, but we're trying to develop the best race set-up possible. I'm looking forward to the race on Saturday."
#28 Mark Dismore, MCI WorldCom car:
"I'd like to thank the guys on my team for everything. We've had a great car all year long, and I finally feel that the monkey is off my back. I ran the car flat the entire time during qualifying. We had a little bad luck this afternoon, but we made some changes just before qualifying, and they really helped us."
