Driver Quotes Race #11 - SSB David Daughtery - 1st " I told everybody that it was going to be a slow start, but Galati wasn't listening and went to sleep at the start." "I wanted to cut a perfect first lap - which I did, then the yellow came out." "I wish Michael(Galati) would have been there 'cause I really wanted to race him - he's my buddy."
Jeff Altenberg- 2nd " I was hoping Michael (Galati) and David (Daughtery) to mix it up a little bit. " "I felt like he (Daughtery) was just playing with me - I just couldn't catch him." Harry Manning - 3rd "I didn't see the incident on the first lap because I got by Galati at the start - I wondered what happened to him."
