KLUEVER: “We ran strong all day. I was really, really proud of my guys. I was really happy with our car in Raybestos Rookie practice yesterday. We were horrible in the second practice. Mike Kelley (crew chief) and all the guys here at Roush Racing, we all sit down and have a big meeting to discuss everything. All the teams, man, they really helped us out. That was a great pit call by Mike to get us track position and then we were able to run there most of the day. We’ve been really conservative and never free ourselves up enough to be competitive at the end of the race. Today our car was really, really close and we freed it up a little bit more and it was way too much. It was great on the long run but just way too free on all those restarts. Unfortunately we had a bunch of restarts there for a while. It was just too free there at the end. It's really sad to finish 13th. We run top-five most of the day or right around it. All in all, not really the finish we wanted but it’s a great day. It’s been a long, long time since we’ve been that close to the front of a race and it’s really, really a breath of fresh air for this team.” DOES THIS GIVE YOU SOME CONFIDENCE FOR THE REMAINING RACES? “Well, I’ve always been confident in myself and my team. We’ve had some really terrible luck and a lot of bad things. I hope all the guys can take this and be proud of it. We’ve got like six races to go and we got to some good places. We’ve got Kansas City, which is a track I love, and Charlotte, which is a track I ran top-10 at in the spring. I’m really excited. We’ve got some pretty good races for us coming up.” AND YOU HAVE NOTES AT SOME OF THESE TRACKS. “Exactly. I am so excited to go back to Charlotte. We really had a good car there and I’m real excited to go back. This was the same exact setup that we came here with in the spring to Dover, too, and really got our butts kicked with it. I was really proud of Mike. It’s easy to get down on yourself with that. He told me earlier this week in the shop that we were going to come back with the same setup and he was going to work on it because he really believed in it. I told him ‘Man, this is the proudest I’ve been of you in a long time.’ To be a crew chief and a driver, you have to have confidence and confidence in what you’re doing. Mike really showed that he had confidence in his setup this weekend and it really paid off for us.”

JOHN ANDRETTI, No. 10 TAILGATINGBASICS.COM/RVs.COM FORD: “We’ll take it. I mean, Dover is sure not my best track, that’s for sure. Kenny [Wallace] loves the place and they got going good. I blame me, mostly, for searching for a setup. There at the end it felt pretty good on that last long run. We’ll take it. It’s in one piece and it shouldn’t be.”

STEPHEN LEICHT, No. 90 CITIFINANCIAL FORD: YOU FINISHED THE RACE IN ONE PIECE. THAT’S A PRETTY GOOD DAY AT DOVER. “My crew chief Cully was just making fun of me for that. He said ‘Why is everybody coming up to you saying great job, you didn’t wreck?’ My only answer to that is that’s the way our luck’s been. I made a mistake in practice. I wrecked our primary car and apologized to all my guys for that because we had a great car in the first practice. The primary car was probably the best car that we’ve had all year and me being anxious, just hanging it out on the edge, I got over my head and lost it. But I am so proud of the citifinancial team. They did an unbelievable job getting that backup car ready. We got back out onto the track in about 45 minutes. We took it from being a 30th-place car to a 20th-place car. We finished 23rd and I cannot thank these guys enough. They did an unbelievable job. Everybody did a great job.” YOU HAD A GOOD DAY AT A TOUGH TRACK. WHAT DOES THAT DO FOR YOUR CONFIDENCE? “Obviously, the whole team is very happy right now. We didn’t get the finish that we wanted, but coming out with the backup car and bringing it home in one piece almost on the lead lap in 23rd, I think everybody’s happy now. We’re going to hold our heads up high leaving here. We’ve got a race car to take home and work on. We’ve learned a lot working with both of these cars. It’s a pretty cool racetrack. It’s almost like a big Bristol, real demanding, wears you out, and beating and banging all the way around this place. It’s pretty cool.”
