Food City 250 - Rookie Post-Race Quotes

JOEY CLANTON, NO. 27 TRIMSPA PONTIAC:

WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN YOU AND JAMIE MCMURRAY? "Jamie, he got dumped or whatever or somebody got into him. It looked like he checked-up in front of somebody and that got him. He corrected and the first car he gets to though, really, is me and he just dumped me. He was definitely a little faster. Our guys worked all night long, all day all weekend to get the car halfway decent and we were going to have at least a lead lap finish, I think, because we could keep the car right there where we were, maybe salvage a top-15 but now the night has ended for the TrimSpa Pontiac. He's just scatter-brained and just dumped us, totaled out a racecar." IT LOOKED LIKE YOU HAD A GOOD CAR. "We had a decent car. The guys worked their tails off all night long to get that thing dialed in a little bit. We weren't as quick as the leaders but we were in the mid-pack. Like I said, we were going to have a top-15 run there. It's different if you are stacked up like these guys right here that just crashed and you have nowhere to go but when you are single file and the guy just runs down in the corner and runs all over you and there is nobody around, that's dumb. Especially doing that at Bristol."
