GIL MARTIN, CREW CHIEF, No. 07 SYLVANIA CHEVROLET: “What are you talking about! That was a great day for our company, right there. That’s been a long time coming for getting all three teams to run like that and nobody backed into it. Everybody ran like we finished all night long. Clint did a great job. We got a little bit free right there at the end but I can’t say enough about the great job that he did tonight. He overcame a lot of things that he struggled with: pitting, getting on and off pit road, and when it counted under the green flag, he got on and off pit road better than anybody and we made it all up. What can I say, he did a great job.” HOW CLOSE WERE YOU ON GAS? “We probably had about three or four laps to spare. We were really good. We weren’t concerned about it. We had no way of making any positions there in the last five laps when everybody started running out of gas. I started hollering at him to back out of it, nobody could pass us and we could coast in from there. It was all good.”

DENNY HAMLIN, No. 11 FEDEX EXPRESS CHEVROLET: “We never had a chance. It was one of those deals where we had a really, really fast car in the corners. The motor blew on lap one so it’s nothing really I could do about it. It’s tough because I know we had a really good car here. Our lap times were really fast on seven cylinders. If we had eight we would have been a contender. It’s good to see Clint up there battling for that win.”

MARTIN TRUEX JR., No. 1 BASS PRO SHOPS/TRACKER BOATS CHEVROLET: “It was real good at the start of the race. We put tires on and it got real loose for some reason so we tightened the car up, put more tires on, and then we were real tight. Apparently we had a bad set of tires there at the beginning. That kind of got us a little bit behind and it took us a while to catch back up. We got our car pretty good again. We lost some track position because of all that. We got back up in there and held our own for a while and when it started getting dark we started getting real loose in and real tight in the center of the corner and we could never really get that out throughout the race.” IT LOOKED LIKE YOU STAYED UP WITH THE TRACK DURING THE RACE. “We did a good job with our adjustments but for some reason we just couldn’t hit it quite right. We were always too tight or too loose. We couldn’t ever get the center fixed without making it too loose off and too loose in. Our setup was off a little bit but the guys did an awesome job. The pit crew was really, really good, Definitely their best day ever and I’m real proud of them for that. It was just a good solid day. That’s what we’re here to do every week, we’re still improving, and I’m just real proud of all the guys for their efforts.” WAS GAS A CONCERN AT THE END OF THE RACE? “Yeah, we were worried. We knew that we were about a lap short so I was watching the fuel pressure. I kept checking it down the back getting to 3 so I could get to pit road if I had to. I just got by the entrance to pit road and it started dropping and I was like ‘Aw, no’ so we ran out getting into 1. We were able to coast around and finish. We lost a couple of spots there. I figured we should have been ninth or 10th . We were around Jeff Burton and we ended up 12th. It was a good day. We did what we were supposed to do and it was good.”

J.J. YELEY, No. 18 INTERSTATE BATTERIES CHEVROLET: “It’s probably the strangest thing I’ve ever seen in my life in the short time I’ve been in stock cars: both rear truck arms bent. They just kind of twisted and folded. I don’t know if we’ve got some bad material or what. It’s a brand new car and started out real good, thought we had a good piece there. I got a little bit loose and fell behind there trying to run out, trying to get a caution. We led a lap and pitted and then all of a sudden the car just got really, really bad. I couldn’t figure out what happened. It was like a shock broke or something. They jacked the car up and the heights were all changing. After I finally lost it, the thing spun out, and we came in there and jacked it up and saw that the left side truck arm was bent and after the race examined it a little closer and everything is bent. I guess I was lucky I could steer the thing around the racetrack. It’s very disappoint to come here back home to Phoenix and I thought we had a good shot at a top-10.”
