BUSCH: "Obviously we want to win, of course for all the circumstances that have come about here with recent events and stuff like that. It's a shame that we can't get it done. I mean the team has given me awesome pit stops and an awesome car. The driver came up short today." DID THE RACE BOIL DOWN TO JUST ONE BAD RESTART? "No, not really. I mean, I thought I had a good restart and I thought I got a jump on him and everything like that but he got above me and basically took away the run that I would have needed to get off the corner."

LANCE MCGREW, CREW CHIEF, No. 5 LOWE'S/GLADIATOR CHEVROLET: "Both those cars were so even all day long. Kyle's a little twisted up right now and it's not the fact that he finished second, that he's disappointed with second. It's the fact that he didn't win and there's nothing that that kid wants to do than win a race for Ricky right now. It's been on our hearts and it's been hard to deal with. He's had the opportunity the last two weeks and he feels like he just can't get it done and that's so not true. He just takes everything to heart. It's been a little rough, a lot rough, on all of us." ONCE IT SINKS IN THAT YOU HAD A GOOD RACE WILL THAT BE OF SOME CONSOLATION TO YOU GUYS? "Not really [laughs]. I mean we're in a situation right now where the only thing that really matters is that we win races. There's a bunch of records left to break this season, as far as what Kyle could get as a Raybestos Rookie. And he's a true rookie, not a Greg Biffle already won a truck championship. It would be nice to be able to break that rookie win record. We've already broken a whole pile of other ones but it's just been an incredible year. We just want to close it off really strong."

BUSCH PRESS CONFERENCE

"It was an overall good day for the Lowe's Chevrolet. The guys did an awesome job on pit stops and gave me a great piece in order to go out there and lead the most laps today. There's nothing much more to say than the driver came up short today, two weeks in a row. It's just a shame." AT WHAT POINT DID YOU SEE JAMIE MCMURRAY'S CAR GETTING BETTER? AFTER HE MADE HIS OUTSIDE PASS, DID YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO GET BACK BY HIM? "I didn't think he was going to go to the outside and I thought about doing the same thing back to him but I figured he knew that I was going to go to the bottom because that's where I'd run all day. Hindsight is 20/20. I could have went to the high side, he could have went there because that's where he wouldn't have gone blocking the bottom for me. It's so hard to figure it out. I just couldn't get back by him. My car was too tight behind him. I couldn't have the clean air in order to make the thing turn so we were short today." YOU ADAPTED QUICKLY TO THIS TRACK. "I think just being able to grow up around racetracks around this west coast area. My first three races were at three different racetracks. The adaptation to different facilities was brought up early in my career and just trying to be able to get used to racetracks quicker is obviously the name of the game in the Cup series and Busch Series because they go to so many different venues, a different one every week, and they add new ones in every few years." AT YOUR AGE, YOU'VE HAD A LOT TO OVERCOME THE LAST FEW WEEKS. HOW DIFFICULT IS IT FOR YOU NOT TO WIN THE LAST TWO RACES? "It's been extremely difficult. Obviously Mr. Hendrick gives us the equipment to go out there and win every single race and to be in position the last two weeks and just not be able to get it done, it puts shame on myself just because I haven't been able to wheel it to it's full potential. I try my heart out and everything else but I just can't get it done. Like I said, the team gives me awesome pit stops all day long and they get me out front. I feedback the information that they need in order to make it better. We made it better all day long today. I guess we were just as good as I needed to be but still I don't see why I couldn't have held off the 41." DO YOU THINK YOU'RE BEING TOO HARD ON YOURSELF? "You can never be too hard on yourself." WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE 72 CAR LATE IN THE RACE? "We were racing down the straightaway into turn 3. He could have let me go before we got to the corner. I did pinch him off just a little bit. I saw him turning off into the corner and he was going like he was going to head to the apron. I thought 'Oooh, that's probably not a good idea' because they didn't blow the racetrack off. There was all that quickie dry down there and all that kitty litter stuff. It's a shame that he had spun out. I don't know if he made contact with the wall or whatever but him getting down there, there was no grip down there so it wasn't completely his fault." DID YOU THINK YOU HAD A VIBRATION LATE IN THE RACE? DID IT WORRY YOU? "We did. The last pit stop, I think it was like 10 laps into that last run where it started shaking a little bit and it started getting a little bit worse and then it kind of stabilized. Lance told me that it was probably a wheel weight because they wheel weight problem in earlier in practice a couple of days ago. I wasn't too worried about it then. It didn't get any worse so if it had kept getting worse it would have been a loose wheel." DID THE INCIDENT WITH THE 72 BREAK YOUR CONCENTRATION? "I don't think so. The leaders were racing, myself and Jamie, and of course we were right in front of each other and the 72 just tried to pull low and he pulled too low and just kind of spun out there. That doesn't break my concentration any. I'm not worried about his car. I'm worried more so about the No. 5 car." YOU ARE 161 POINTS BACK IN THE POINTS RACE. "I view it as though we're 161 back. What else is there to look at? We do all we can every week and they do all they can every week. It's a matter of luck."

PAUL MENARD, No. 11 MENARDS/PITTSBURGH PAINTS CHEVROLET: YOU WERE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BIG WRECK BETWEEN TURNS 1 AND 2 LATE IN THE RACE. "It was pretty close. I'm not real sure what happened but all I saw was the 32 coming down. He was sideways, spinning, and they started wrecking and they started coming down towards me. We probably missed it by a couple of feet." WERE YOU PRETTY HAPPY WITH THE CAR? "The car wasn't too bad. It was real good earlier. We put on that last set of tires and it just got really tight. We lost two positions there and then I just had to wear in my tires really good under caution for them to come in on the first lap of a green flag run. We definitely had a top-10 car, just kind of got bit there at the end."
