KYLE BUSCH , No. 51 Miccosukee Resorts Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports
Finish: 2nd

What are your thoughts on tonight's race?

"It was a good race for us there. We had qualified second, started outside the front row and led some laps tonight which was good. I figured we'd probably have a third-place truck tonight, but we came home second. I'm absolutely ecstatic about that." What happened on the first lap? "I got ran into the side of and pretty much drifted through (turns) three and four."

How much equipment did the Billy Ballew team have to rebuild to get here after the fire?

"The build-up hasn't happened yet. We don't have any money to build anything. We have to wait for the insurance claim to go through. I guess we can say a big thanks to Germain Racing for loaning us a hauler to get out here this weekend. We're going to use my hauler next weekend to get to Homestead and pretty much all the springs and shocks and radios and everything else has been melted in the trailer and are still in the trailer and we aren't going to be able to get it out. It's stuck - - useless stuff to us. Racing Radios I think loaned us some radios for the remainder of the year. There are a lot of people to give thanks -- I'm not exactly sure who they all are. You'll have to ask Billy (Ballew, team owner)."
