RAGAN: “I guess we went about it the hard way. It was a solid points day. We always want to run a little better. You finish 12th and you want to run fifth. I’ve still got room to improve on. We need to be in that top-10 every week but it was a good points day and we finished on the lead lap at Bristol and that’s something that was good to say for the team and for myself. Hopefully it gave me a little warm-up for tomorrow.” HOW MUCH WILL THE TRACK TIME IN THE BUSCH CAR HELP YOU IN SUNDAY’S RACE? “It’ll help me. Staying on the bottom is very important, having a comfortable race car is important, track position is also important tomorrow. I don’t know if the competition will be less but I think you’re going to have a big variance between the fast and the slow. The big thing is to stay out of trouble and race our own race. Tomorrow we’re wanting to finish in the top-20 and that would be a decent weekend heading to Martinsville.” FOR BRISTOL, DID YOU HAVE A CLEAN RACE? “Yeah, it was probably a little too clean. If I would have rubbed a little more I might could have picked up a few more spots there at the end. It was clean overall. No issues. We had good stops and had just another good day but always room for improvement.”

MIKE KELLEY, CREW CHIEF, No. 6 DISCOUNT TIRE FORD: “It was great. That’s the first time that I’ve finished at here at Bristol in the Busch Series [smiles] so it was a great day for us, just to watch him race all day and protect his race car and not himself in any harm’s way. He did exactly everything we asked him to do. What we’re trying to do is get David as much lap time as we can and get him running better. Our goal all season is to run in the top-10 every week. We were close this week. We’ll take a weekend off and go to Nashville. We’ll get ‘em in Nashville.” COMMENT ON THE PIT ROAD LIGHT MALFUNCTION? “It kind of messed us up because our plan wasn’t to pit there so we were going to stay out and hopefully starting up front without being in the mix of all the lapped cars was going to be good for us. But once they announced that we had to start back there we had to go ahead and come on down and get four tires.” HOW IMPORTANT TO THE TEAM IS IT TO RUN WELL HERE TODAY? “It’s real important for our team. We’ve had some decent runs and we’ve had some bad luck. Right now I need morale on my side as much as anywhere. Going into the off week, we’ve got a test at Richmond and the guys are pumped about that. Running good at Bristol is big. It’s like running well at Daytona. That’s everything that we could do here today.” ”

JUAN PABLO MONTOYA, No. 42 TEXACO/HAVOLINE DODGE: YOU WERE CHASING A TOP-10 FINISH IN THE CLOSING LAPS. “We had a chance. I got really loose coming into 1 and I lost like three or four places there. But I think we had a car for the top-10 today. I think the Texaco/Havoline Dodge today was amazing. We kept in one piece and that was the most important thing.” HOW WAS YOUR FIRST RACE AT BRISTOL? “It was good, it was good. We run clean, just being patient. I had a good bump, by I think the 28, and he was bumping everybody until he finally wrecked his complete car. It was pretty good. Just have to be very patient.” DID YOU LEARN ANYTHING TODAY THAT WILL HELP YOU TOMORROW? “Yeah, a little bit. How to be, where to play, what to position the car, a little bit, but still a long way to go.”

MARCOS AMBROSE, No. 59 KINGSFORD/BUSH’S FORD: “It’s just Bristol, I guess. I was just trying to do the right thing early on. We got ourselves in the hole after qualifying. I just missed my second fast lap in qualifying and put us down near the back there. Just trying to do the right thing, staying out of trouble, and trouble found us. You’ve got to roll with it. It’s just the sport we’re in. Not every day is going to be a great day [smiles].”
