RICKY RUDD - No. 21 Keep It Genuine/Motorcraft Taurus (Finished 12th) - "We just missed it a little bit all day. We were just a little bit too tight. We tried to get the car free and got it too free one time. We just couldn't get the front end to bite as hard as we needed to, but it's a lot better than we've been. We raced to 12th and the pit stops were good all day, so it's definitely a lot of progress that's been made. The stops were good and the strategy was good. We never really did anything to upset the car and we've had that problem in the past, where you try to fix something and it gets really bad. We loosened it up one time a little bit too much and it didn't kill me, but we gave up a little bit of track position. But the pit stops were good and everything was good. Like I said, we just missed it a little bit but in this day and time if you miss it a little, it's not hard to get lapped."
