Ford Racing Trackside - post-race
truck quotes
TRAVIS KVAPIL - No. 09
Zaxby's Ford F-150 -
(finished 7th, started 22nd)
- "It was a good day. We
fought track position all
day long. And not being able
to qualify probably didn't
help. The truck was a little
tight, which we kind of
thought that's where'd we
be. But all in all, the guys
did a good job on pit road.
We had to take two tires
twice to try and get track
position and in doing that,
it really didn't help the
handling of the truck. It
compromised a tight
situation that we were in.
All in all, it was a great
job by the Zaxby's team and
it was fun working with
those guys and I look
forward to doing it again."
COLIN BRAUN - No. 6
Con-way Freight Ford F-150 -
(finished 9th, started 6th)
- "It was a lot of fun. The
Con-way Freight Ford F-150
truck started off pretty
strong and we came to that
first pit stop. That was my
first time on a
mile-and-a-half track in one
of these trucks doing a pit
stop. We got that figured
out and everybody did a
great job on that stop. We
came back out and I think we
lost a few spots, but we
came back out 17th or
something like that. Then
got a chance to race with
some of these veterans guys
and learn a lot from them.
We tried to make our way
back up to the front a
little bit there. Towards
the end, we had a pretty
quick truck. It was just
tough in traffic, when we
got behind somebody we got
real tight and once we kind
of got into clean air, we
could run some pretty quick
lap times and kind of catch
the next pack. We struggled
a little bit to get through
the pack but that's just my
lack of experience. I'm
starting to get more and
more experience and I'm
having a lot of fun racing
out there with these veteran
guys. The last couple of
laps with that 22 truck
[Philip McGilton] were a lot
of fun. I didn't think I was
going to get him there.
Right at the end, he got a
little bit tight, it looked
like up in turn four. We got
up under him and got by him.
It was a lot of fun on the
last couple of laps."
ERIK DARNELL - No. 99
Northern Tool + Equipment
Ford F-150 - (finished 11th,
started 14th) - "It was a
frustrating day. I thought
our Northern Tool +
Equipment Ford was a little
bit better than that in
practice. We were just
really tight in the race.
Believe it or not, track
position was worth a lot
today. It was really hard to
pass anybody especially if
you were on the inside. It
seemed like the high line
got a really good run off
the corner. We fought it the
whole race. We worked on our
Ford F-150 and made it a
little bit better, but we
didn't get it to where we
needed it to be. It was a
frustrating day for the
whole team."
JON WOOD - No. 21 Air
Force Ford F-150 - (finished
32nd, started 11th) - "We
broke a rear end gear on one
of the pit stops. It's
unfortunate, but we turning
a bad day into an okay day.
I just got back into the top
10 and progressing forward.
We've got good equipment and
a good team. We're just
having bad luck."
