RICKY RUDD - No. 21 Motorcraft Genuine Parts Taurus - "We just had a real tight race car when we started. We had to come from a long way back. Our tire strategy was to put on four all night, whereas a lot of guys got temporary track position by putting on two. We did that right at the end. I think we came in like seventh or 10th and came out with the lead. We were sitting pretty decent on the restart and I guess Nemechek got up on the outside of me, but then I didn't know that the 48 car ran into us. I just thought I blew a left-rear tire and I pulled out of the way and was coming into the pits. Then Dave said, 'Hey, the 48 got into you.' When he said that I was already down here in three limping on the apron, so then I had to take off and go again. I thought for sure I blew a tire. I had no idea he got into me. But it was a good, solid run. I'm a little disappointed."
