RICKY RUDD - No. 21 Motorcraft Genuine Parts Taurus (Qualified 14th) - "I don't think it's too bad. It looks like it was an advantage to go early today because the Busch cars had just gotten the track rubbered back in. It was overcast. That would have been the ideal situation, but that's about like what we ran in practice yesterday. This track is really kind of funny sometimes. You let the track sit a little bit and it slows up a bunch and there's no grip, then you've got grip. It's kind of hard to read for one lap, but they made some changes on our car yesterday afternoon and I like what I'm feeling for race setup. I didn't like what I was feeling yesterday afternoon for race setup, so I think they made some improvements on the car."
