RICKY RUDD - No. 21 Keep it Genuine/Motorcraft Taurus (Finished 16th) - "It wasn't pretty, but I tell you what I'm happy about is right there at the end of the race. They made some adjustments and we could go then. I was real happy with that. A lot of times you struggle and struggle like we did today and that's the way you end up, but they hit on some combinations that we learned from today, so I'm real happy with that." DID THE CAUTIONS HURT YOU LATE? "Not really. We missed the handle on it and finally the stop before last they gained on it and on the last stop they really gained on it. I could have run with the 97 and the 01, but I was just trying to stay out of that pack. What put us in a hole was our poor qualifying position. We gave up at least one lap right there that we wouldn't have lost. That would have changed the whole outcome because we would have gotten that lucky dog earlier. I don't know how good we could have been at the end. Normally, you finish 16th and that might be all that you've got, but this was a day we had a lot more than a 16th-place car at the end."
