RICKY RUDD - No. 21 Motorcraft Genuine Parts Taurus (Finished 4th) - "The guys did a great job in the pits. Fatback McSwain, the Wood Brothers and the Motorcraft Taurus was good all night. We just sort of tried to stay out of trouble. We've wrecked out of this race like the last three times. It's usually been a good race track for us and we were lucky we got a good qualifying spot and just tried to keep our nose clean all night. It worked out pretty good. The last set of tires, when I needed them, we got tight. We needed to hit pit road, but we couldn't afford to hit pit road because you give up track position. Fatback had a looser set of tires at the end, but we just didn't get a chance to put them on. It was just great solid run for everybody tonight."

YOU WERE IN THE TOP 10 ALL NIGHT. "I think that's one reason you look at the car and it's clean. The only mark I got, I don't know what DJ was doing, he got passed and tried to drive to the bottom when there wasn't a hole there and he just ran right into the side of my door." A SOLID NIGHT. "The stops were great all night. You've got to have track position and the car was really good on long runs. We came up here a couple of weeks ago and tested and Fatback finally found a setup that I really liked. We were here three-quarters of the day and didn't like it and he hit on it right at the end of practice a couple of weeks ago. We knew we had something pretty good, but we just needed to be a little bit freer. We had another set of tires on the last pit stop we were gonna put on, but the way the circumstances all broke down we couldn't afford to hit pit road because we would have given up all that track position. But it was just a great run for the Wood Brothers tonight."

THIS TRACK SEEMS TO SUIT YOU. "It's just a tough old race track. We've run second here three or four times over the years and must have about 25 top fives just no wins. It's just been a good, solid track for us, but lately the last three or four races we've wrecked out of this thing playing a smart race. But they wreck in front of you and they run over you from behind. It's just a lot of luck involved. You've got to be up front where you're out of the mess all night."
