POST-RACE QUOTES & NOTES:
Donny Schatz, driver of the No. 15 Armor All/Chevy/ParkerStore/J&J for TSR:
¡§We wanted to make a little bigger splash kicking off the ¡¥Month of Money,¡¦ but it wasn¡¦t in the cards this week for us. We started on Tuesday coming up seven laps shorts of winning the Ollie¡¦s (360 Challenge) race at Eldora and taking home the $50,000 bonus.
¡§From there, we were close but not in the picture of the guys who were winning. My guys (Ricky Warner, Shane Bowers and Kyle Sundby) busted their tails all week and we just have to work together and keep getting the Armor All Chevy just a bit better. The good news is we have another great opportunity this week for two more big races.
¡§I know the team is ready to return to victory lane and that¡¦s our goal starting on Tuesday night.¡¨
Kraig Kinser, driver of the No. 20 Bass Pro Shops/Chevy/J.D. Byrider Maxim for TSR:
¡§We didn¡¦t have the kind of week we wanted. It¡¦s tough coming over here to Ohio this week and tearing up two cars. We are getting into a busy time of racing and now we¡¦re down two cars that we¡¦ve got to fix with only a limited amount of time. It makes things tougher on everyone. We¡¦re going to head back to the shop and get them fixed and shoot for a good week ahead of us.
¡§It¡¦s hard, sometimes, when Eldora (Speedway) gets like it did this weekend. It can be hard to run guys down. You¡¦ve really got to be set right. I told (TSR No. 20 crewman) Mike (Cool) that I¡¦ve never really had such a good car here as I did tonight before the crash. The Bass Pro Chevy was really strong. Pulling in after five laps of the Kings Royal feature was really hard, but the car wasn¡¦t right, and we couldn¡¦t take a chance on tearing up another car. It was amazing we got back out for the feature, and I can¡¦t thank all the TSR guys for their hard work.¡¨
