Do you think you had a winning car tonight?

“We just didn’t have a good car today. We fought it in practice. That’s a good way to come home second with everything
we faced there we should’ve been further back. We should’ve fell back to fifth or sixth or something like that. We didn’t
give up there. We made one more stop than Carl (Edwards) did and tried to make our car better on adjustments but just
didn’t have it today. I feel like I know a couple of things that we missed on today and Jason (Ratcliff, crew chief) and I
will try to make it better.”

Are you proud of your team for having such great pit stops today?

“The guys on pit road have been flawless on pit road all year and it comes down to that sometimes and this year it might
come down to that. We’ve got such competitive cars and we’re both talented drivers but sometimes it will be pit road and
other times it might be contact on the race track.”

Did the track get slicker as the night went on or was it the cars?

“Carl (Edwards) — I don’t know what his car was like but mine was just tight all night. I just didn’t have a front end that
would turn. I was trying to do what I could sometimes to turn it with the rear coming off the corner but I had some help
too with the right front headlight of the 60 (Carl Edwards). It’s good, hard racing and I’m proud to come home second but
unfortunately it’s a second.”

What were those last laps like when you were battling with Carl Edwards?

“It was a tough, hard fought battle. We had what we had and we gave it all we could and we came up short. He (Carl
Edwards) was better than us all night and he proved it driving by us on the run before and just getting to my inside all of
the time and if my car was as good as his I should’ve been able to stay ahead of him or drive away.”

Are you happy with your first Nationwide Series top-10 finish tonight?

“Yes and no. It’s our first top-10 so you’ve got to be really happy about that but it’s disappointing in the fact that I think
we had a car that could win. It’s just so hard to pass here. We got spun out under caution. What do you do? We already
took the caution leading the thing and clean air is so big here. It’s so hard to pass.

I think if we could’ve got back to the
lead we could’ve maintained it but we never had the opportunity to get back there. Seventh or eighth — those cars were so
even the leader could get going and then after that everybody was fending for themselves. If anybody made a mistake you
could get by them but other than that it was pretty even.”

What happened to cause you to spin out under caution when you were leading the race?

“I have no idea. It was under caution coming to the yellow, picking up the pace car and all of a sudden I’m spinning out
and they’re telling me I’m going mid-pack and I’m like, ‘Come on, it was already caution.’ I don’t understand that and I
don’t know the reasoning. I’ll check into it and see what’s going on. I’m not happy about it but you can’t do anything
about it. I really thought they were going to overturn it once we said something. I thought they were just doing a spur of
the moment, ‘Hey, go behind the 18 (Kyle Busch),’ and they were going to put us back. Honestly, with all of my heart
until the last lap I was thinking they were going to go back and put me in the lead. It stinks to have that happen but nothing
you can do about it.”

What happened early in the race that caused damage to your car?

“I think (Brad) Keselowski and (Ron) Hornaday and we got three-wide there and just tore my fender up and we had to play
catch up from there. It was a lot of beating and banging for that early in the race. At times, I was right in the middle of it,
so I can’t complain.”

How hard is it to pass at ORP?

“You just need grip and we didn’t have that. Our car rotated well, but I didn’t have grip like some of those guys did. It’s
just not going to run good like that.”

Finishing Position: 11th

How hard is it to pass at ORP?

“This place is not the easiest place to pass on. Every opportunity you have to get by somebody you do it. That’s why you
end up seeing guys take chances and do things like that you normally wouldn’t just because passing is at a premium. Any
opportunity you have, you may not have again. That’s what you see here at ORP.”

How was your car in tonight’s race?

“At the beginning of the race, the car was awesome. I thought we were going to be in really, really good shape. We came
in and pitted and put tires on and really didn’t adjust much. From that point on, we weren’t really good anymore. It’s
disappointing. These guys worked hard and they are used to a lot better cars than this all year. It’s just a situation where
we didn’t get all we could out of it tonight.”

Brad Coleman

Finishing Position: 16th

What happened on the first lap in turn one with Trevor Bayne?

“I know we touched, but I didn’t drive it that hard in there. I don’t know if he didn’t give me enough room or if I slid up
into him. It’s just a racing incident. That’s the definition of a racing incident. I was wheeling it so hard after that. I got
totally sideways, full opposite-lock, and I caught it – then somebody jacked me in the rear after that and caused me to hit
the wall.”

What does it say about this team to overcome the damage to finish in the top-20?

“The crew did a great job on this Game Plan for Life Toyota. They worked really hard to fix this as much as they could.
There was no side-force on this thing whatsoever. It was just really loose. They did a great job fixing it, but I just wish we
could’ve done better.”

Finishing Position: 35th

What happened to take you out of the race?

“I’m not sure who it was — I think it was the 40 (Aric Almirola) who got into us coming off of (turn) two and took out our
left rear tire and by the time I realized it there was nothing I could do about it. (The hit) was not bad. This track we’re not
really going that fast here so when you hit it’s not that hard.”

Finishing Position: 37th

What happened to take you out of the race?

“I don’t know. It’s a little frustrating for that early in the race. The only thing I can say is thank you to America’s
Incredible Pizza Company for being so supportive. The guys at CJM (Racing) here have known for a couple of weeks that
I just hate it for these guys. They’ve known for a couple of weeks that Denny (Hamlin) was coming in the car and they’ve
kept their heads down digging.

Paul (Wolfe, crew chief) has come up with some stuff lately and we found our speed back.
I hate it. We had a good race car and after watching the truck race last night and seeing tire management we were just kind
of biding our time there figuring for the long run to save a set of tires for late in the race and have some fun. It is what it is
now.”
