EDWARDS: “I don’t even know if we had a third-place car so I’m pretty proud of that finish. The Charter Ford was really good. We just never got ahead of it. It was always tight, tight, tight and at the end we made a big adjustment. I told them ‘Did you turn that thing the right direction?’ I mean it was tighter. I don’t know what happened there but congratulations to Kevin Harvick. After everything that they’ve been through it’s awesome to see them get a win. The car was just unbelievable tight. I thought we had a flat right front or something. It was fun, though. It just wouldn’t turn and they said ‘Well, you’re going faster.’ I hated to hold up Greg as long as I did. He was pretty good, but I kept expecting mine to turn and it never would. Finally I was like I’ll let him go and see if he can win it. It’s awesome to see Kevin get a win.” DID YOU NEED THE RACE TO PLAY OUT DIFFERENTLY FOR YOU TO HAVE A BETTER CHANCE TO WIN? “No, that was perfect. My pit crew did a great job. We just didn’t make the right call. We just didn’t make a big enough adjustment which was surprising.” WHAT DID YOU LEARN TODAY THAT WILL HELP YOU ON SUNDAY? “A lot, a lot of things, and I won’t talk about it until after tomorrow [smiles].”

REED SORENSON, No. 41 DISCOUNT TIRE COMPANY DODGE: (Note: Sorenson finished fourth and scored his 13th top-five and 21st top-10 in 38 career Busch Series starts.) “I came in and we jacked it up and got it out of fourth gear there and went back to 38th or 39th. I had two more pit stops after that to help gain some positions and felt like I passed about 30 or 40 cars out there. A top-five finish after doing that is pretty good. There were a lot of Cup guys in here and one of the Cup guys won but it was a good day for us. This car has never been out of the top-five. I’m just real happy with this car.” DID YOU NEED FOR THE RACE TO PLAY OUT ANY DIFFERENTLY FOR YOU TO HAVE A CHANCE TO GET THE FRONT? “The cautions fell good. When we had to go to the back there, that’s what killed us. We went back to 39th or whatever it was when we had that transmission stuck in fourth gear. We had to come down pit road and we were already in the top-10. Losing 30 spots isn’t good.” DID YOU HAVE A HARD TIME PASSING CARS? “It’s pretty tough. You’ve got to be careful when you get on the gas that it didn’t pick up a little push. You’ve got to have your car free enough to where it turns good in the center when you are behind somebody because when you get behind somebody it gets real aero-tight.”

BRAD PARROTT, CREW CHIEF, No. 60 CHARTER COMMUNIATIONS FORD: “The Charter Communications team did a great job. We got all the wheels tight the last stop and came out second. We were just too tight there at the end. We just didn’t get a whole lot of practice there yesterday. The car was bottoming out. But to come from where we started practice yesterday and to come home here at Texas with two top-fives this year, it’s a great job by the whole team. We got one step closer to that Raybestos Rookie of the Year battle. We did beat Reed today and two more times, we’ve got to accomplish that goal.” IS IT DIFFICULT FOR A CREW CHIEF TO CALL A RACE AT THIS TRACK? “The track position is huge. I don’t think the track changed that much. It did get real shady down there in one and two because of the sun and the grandstands. We just didn’t make the right adjustments at the end of the race. We made a big adjustment but it just wasn’t big enough. The whole team did a great job.”

DENNY HAMLIN, No. 20 ROCKWELL AUTOMATION CHEVROLET: “It is what it is a pretty good statement for today. We just didn’t get any good breaks at all. Every caution couldn’t happen at a worse time. I got fenders knocked in under green and yellow and it was just a nightmare of a day. It was a long day. We nearly crashed with two laps to go and I was just happy to bring it home in one piece.” WHAT DID YOU LEARN TODAY THAT WILL HELP THE CUP CAR TOMMOROW? “All I learned is a little different line getting in turn 3. Other than that, there’s not a whole lot you can relate.” DID THE TRACK CHANGE A LOT? “It definitely felt like that if you got off the bottom just a little bit that it would just get really tight and it wasn’t like that early in the race. The track definitely got tighter.”

JON WOOD, No. 47 CLOROX/WISK/BROOKSHIRE’S FORD: “The culprit was that we had a little bit of an issue in practice and we didn’t get a lot of track time. We only made like nine laps in practice and I kind of knew going into the race that we may struggle early on but that just goes to show how vital practice time is. We obviously had a really good qualifying package but when we took the tape off the nose it seemed to not be so good.” DID YOU LEARN SOMETHING THIS WEEKEND THAT YOU WON’T REPEAT IN THE FUTURE? “Yeah, definitely. The stuff that kept us from being able to practice are silly things that just weren’t taken care of. It’s nobody’s fault, directly. It’s something that we won’t do again and it definitely hurt our performance.” YOU QUALIFIED WELL THEN STRUGGLED IN THE RACE. DOES THIS WEEKEND SUM UP YOUR SEASON? “It flip-flopped. We usually didn’t qualify where we raced. There’s a handful of races where we did do that, but the times where we qualified terrible we finished really well and the times we qualified great sometimes we didn’t finish so well. We’ve got to put both the goods together and leave the bads away.”
