Michael Feavel - 1st "To say I was 'pretty happy' to see Hussey pull off is an understatement." "When he (Hussey) spun off I had no brakes and had to use my transmission to slow me for the next 3 laps or so - then my brakes returned." "If Hussey would have been there at the end, it would have been a real good race, but still we were very lucky. We had to run a practice motor. We just had to cross our fingers and go for it."

Brian Linn - 2nd "I'd gotten up to 7th and didn't see anybody in front. The yellow came out and really helped. When you start that far back you just have to hope for a yellow." Chester Niemczycki - 3rd "The caution flag sure helped."
