RICKY RUDD - No. 21 Rent-A-Center Taurus (Finished 12th) - "It was a good car all day, but for some reason we were a little slow on the take off on the get up and go. I'm not really sure why that was, but on into a run we were really good. They made some adjustments there at the end and it was pretty good, so it was a good day. To come back 12th here at Atlanta, it's not my best track by far. It's a struggle when I come here. I've had some good runs, but not very many of them and today was a pretty good run for us." GOOD PIT STOPS WITH A NEW COACH. "Yeah, Gary Smith is doing a great job and I'm tickled to death. The team is just building all the time. They find key guys along the way that for some kind of reason end up between jobs or whatever and they know when to grab them. Things are really shaping up and it's really looking good."
