Marcos Ambrose

Finishing Position: 2nd

How was your race today?

“There’s not much to say. I made a mistake on the last corner, the last lap and lost the race because of it. It’s disappointing but
you have to take the lumps as they come. I’m racing against some pretty awesome drivers in some great equipment. We led a
lot of laps and I’m starting to get annoyed with this track, to be honest with you. That’s three years in a row that I have seemed
to given it away. It just took forever, this race. I must have had five or six restarts off the front there and didn’t manage to
mess up any of them.

It’s just disappointing, you know. I just feel bad for my guys, that I let them down. Congratulations to
Carl (Edwards) for winning the race. He crashes the sports car on me on Saturday and then he goes and steals the win from
me. I’m starting to think I don’t like him. Congratulations to him. He put me on a crutch there at the end and I made a
mistake.”

What happened on that last turn?

“Carl (Edwards) put me under pressure at the hairpin. The track was probably a little damp there and my car just refused to
turn. He got a great run down the back straight and it turned into a drag race. He was in that blind spot, that right rear, I didn’t
quite know where he was so I braked as light as I did and out braked myself pretty much. I couldn’t make the turn, bounced
the curb and Carl (Edwards) just did the slingshot off the corner. It was pretty fundamental, it’s just hard racing at the end of
the race. When you’re on the wrong side of it, it’s pretty tough.”

Finishing Position: 3rd

How was your race?

“I had another great run today. Finished third, it was fantastic. The car was amazing. The pit stops were great. The battle
with the big guys was pretty impress. I was definitely impressed about myself. I’m really happy. I think for the fans in
Montreal, its pretty fun to finish on the podium like that. Thanks again for the teams, to give me a ride like that was just
fantastic. We’ve been fast all weekend long. It’s great to finish on the podium in Nationwide – the big race here.”

Is this as wild of a race as you’ve ever been a part of?

“I was right in the front and guys were hitting a little bit to each other in the restart. Everything worked pretty good and I was
able to find a place and stay there. I’m really happy.”

No. 32 Dollar General Toyota Camry

Finishing Position: 4th

Can you talk about your race?

“It went quite good. We didn’t have a very good pit stop strategy, it didn’t work out for us that the yellow came out exactly at
the wrong time. That was a little bit frustrating, but the restarts were going amazing. My Dollar General Braun car was
amazing at the restarts for two laps, three laps. The brakes were strong, I could attack and overtake a few cars and then take it
easy because the brakes were over heating a little bit.

Every time there was a caution I was happy. But, there’s nothing that’s
not bent on the car. It was like being in a pin ball machine at every restart. It was just a matter of surviving and when I saw the
rain coming, I was quite happy because I thought we could maybe get a few more positions and fourth after we were halfway
through the race was great, I’m very happy.”

Is this as wild of a race as you’ve ever been a part of?

“It is the wildest one because if we did that in F1 (Formula 1), you would survive five meters and you’d probably be rolling
and have no wheels attached. There’s no way you could do restarts like that. This was wild, this was definitely crazy and it’s a
good thing those cars are strong. Maybe that’s why we run into each other so much.”

What did you think of the show that was put on for the fans?

“I think it was a great show for the fans. There was everything today, we even had a wet race, a dry race. The last 10 laps,
every restart we were all running into each other and there was a question of surviving. That’s about it. We ran really well.
The guys did a great job and we were strong.”

How tough was the last four or five laps of the race?

“It was tough because (rain tire) was quite a soft tire. It had a lot of grip in the wet but on a drying track it made it move
around so it made it fun. It was all the same for us. We were all running the same pace towards the end.”

Finishing Position: 10th

What did you think of your first race in Montreal?

“That was a really tough way to end a long, long day. We got banged around a good bit out there today but still we were
looking like we had a shot at winning this thing at the end – at least a top-five. (On the green-white-checkered restart) they got
bunch up in front of me. We had to check up and got spun from behind. It’s disappointing, to say the least.”

Are you disappointed by your teams finish today?

“I think with Kyle (Busch) coming in here for his first time here, it raining all day yesterday, and the only laps he had on the
track prior to the race coming under wet conditions, I thought the day went really well – until the last restart. But we knew the
potential for that was going to happen. Other than that, everything went well.

I hate that we didn’t finish where we ran. We
definitely had a top-five car. Kyle did a great job, and we’ll be alright. We got the road courses out of the way. They’ve been
pretty good to us, we’ve had a pretty good run on road courses. We’ll go back to oval tracks next week and finish the year
doing that.”

Finishing Position: 38th

What happened to your car?

“The car was good. The NAPA team did a great job, I mean the thing was – I thought we were going to win this thing. We
kept moving forward and I was looking at Marcos Ambrose and I was like, we’re going to battle with him in a few laps. I was
waiting to pass Jacques (Villeneuve) and missed a shift, a down shift coming on the hairpin. It revved too high and damaged
the engine and then it blew up down the straightaway.”
