POST-RACE QUOTES & NOTES:
Donny Schatz, driver of the No. 15 Armor All/Chevy/ParkerStore/J&J for TSR:
¡§This wasn¡¦t what we were hoping for coming to Washington, but we¡¦ll just keep plugging along. Passing was something that not many guys could do in three nights of racing up here, so track position was everything.
¡§Last year, we had similar results up here, and we were able to get through it and get back to winning races. With another race in Oregon before heading to Chico (Calif.) for the Gold Cup, we¡¦ve got a big week ahead of us. Those are two places where there is usually a ton of passing and should give us a chance to get our momentum going again. The Armor All guys (Ricky Warner, Shane Bowers and Kyle Sundby) keep working hard and I know we all are ready to get back on top.¡¨

Kraig Kinser, driver of the No. 20 Bass Pro Shops/Chevy/J.D. Byrider Maxim for TSR:
¡§It feels great to finally break through and get a victory for everyone at Tony Stewart Racing. Things just went our way tonight and it was a combination of a lot of hard work and some persistence. Early in the weekend, we put ourselves on the front of heat races and one night made the dash and the other we didn¡¦t.
¡§On Monday night, we were able to get ourselves qualified well and then make a pass to get into the dash. We knew the track was taking rubber, so you had to start up front. Luck was our side and we drew the outside front row for the dash and were able to maintain a front-row starting spot in the feature. I just stayed patient during the race. The leader finally made a mistake and we were there to capitalize.
¡§Hopefully, we can build on this, now. We¡¦ve got another week of racing out west here and a couple more good runs would be a good way to come back east for everyone on this Bass Pro Shop team.¡¨
