BRIAN VICKERS, NO. 25 GMAC CHEVROELT MONTE CARLO - Finished 3rd

"The car was loose all night. We fought and fought it. The guys in the pits made some good calls. We finally got it right there at the end. We had a real fast car before the pit stops. Two tires tightened us up some, but I want to congratulate Kyle Busch and the No. 5 team on an awesome job. We'll get one soon."

Q: Brian, can you just talk about your run over the last ten laps?

BRIAN VICKERS: Yeah, we did for everybody did a good job. We were loose all night, we were too loose and we kind of dealt with it when the sun was out and expected the track to tighten up when it went down and for whatever reason for us it didn't. If anything we just kept it looser and made some huge changes at the end of the race, and the last run we made some big changes and we were running like 14th or 15th or something and under that green, we worked our way all the way up, I don't remember where we were, fourth or fifth or something like that. And then we came in, we took two tires, that got us some track position which helped but the car was just too tight on two tires. We were extremely fast during that whole run, but with two tires, it just wasn't what we needed. We didn't put fuel in either.
