How was your race today?

“It was a great race today. I’m real proud of the guys and Richie (Wauters, crew chief) for working so hard on these trucks.
We come to these tracks and sort of struggle sometimes. This is I think our third year together now and we seem to hit on
something a little bit better not quite as good as the 33 (Ron Hornaday) or the 2 (Kevin Harvick) but there at the end we
were out front when it mattered and had just the right amount of fuel in order to make it.

So, real close on all of that but the
Miccosukee Tundra was great. We kept up with those guys today. We did all that we could. We pressured them, we led a
lot of laps – the best we’ve ever run here. I was going to be alright with a second or a third. I think that’s the truck that we
had but the way it played out you’ve just got let these things play out sometimes and today we did.”

Were you worried about fuel at the end of the race?

“Yeah, they told me we were going to be about five short and I was like, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me. We just stopped
and filled this thing.’ So, it barely made it. It ran out coming into victory lane there. Man, what an awesome Tundra this
was today. It was able to keep up with the Chevrolets at least. I’m real proud of Richie (Wauters, crew chief) and all of
these guys that work so hard on this Miccosukee Tundra to get it here. Thank Graceway Pharmaceuticals, thank the fans,
thank NOS Energy Drink and everybody that makes this program possible for us. It’s cool, you know, you come to Loudon
and you’ve got five race divisions or whatever it is in one weekend and they’ve still got another one left to go here tonight.”

Are you excited to have won here at Loudon in all three NASCAR divisions?

“That’s cool, man. That’s something special. We look to do that everywhere we go but we’ve been fortunate enough to
have good race trucks like we’ve had this year. I don’t know what’s wrong with the right front tire but it was vibrating and
shaking the last 60 laps. We barely made it there. I was waiting to get run over there on that last restart. I’m glad I was out
front being the one that was being chased instead of being the guy that had to chase the others. It was fun.”

Were you able to run a lot of laps on the tires today?

“We sure did but with 60 to go my right front started vibrating and shaking. I don’t know if it was the brakes or the tires or
what but it never went away even under cautions so I take it it had to be the tires. Unfortunately there we had to battle
through that but we did. A lot of good things came out of today and I’m real proud of these guys. They had good pit stops
today. Our fuel mileage, we might need another mathematician if anybody out there wants to come out there and work for
us we’ll certainly take a look. We were too close to call today.”

Is it more interesting when it’s a two on one battle?

“Yeah, it was a battle there. It was a battle from lap one coming out of turn 2 with (Mike) Skinner. Really, it’s a hard
fought race track. It’s real hard to pass for these trucks for some reason – they get aero sensitive behind other trucks. For
me, that’s how (Ron) Hornaday got by me. I got in traffic a little bit and slowed down. He kept going. He had a better
turning car or something that just allowed him to get by me. It was cool the way that it raced and the way that it played out
and we’re glad that we were able to win. We came down and had a quick pit stop and took four seconds of gas which we
probably needed about four and a half to be a little bit safer but we made it.”

How thankful were you for the final caution?

“I think we would’ve been close. How many laps was the caution? Three? It was a three-lap caution. I was backing off
and trying to save there during that green-flag run and I think I had about a second and a half gap or maybe a second gap
back to those guys behind me. It would’ve been hard for them to get by me anyways. We saw that after the restart so I was
trying to save as much as I could a little bit in order to make it.

Fortunately, we didn’t have to find out. We did have that
caution and I kept saving underneath the caution. Just shutting it off and trying to roll as much as I could. We made it. We
made it and made enough to run a cool down lap, do a mini burnout because I didn’t know if I could do a burnout or not
with the motor rule the way it is and then on the way driving into victory lane it ran out. It was pretty close.”

Were you surprised that Ron Hornaday and Kevin Harvick couldn’t gain on you more?

“In that last run, yeah. I thought the 2 (Kevin Harvick) might have been better than the 33 (Ron Hornaday) and he might
have got by and gone for the win. But (Kevin) Harvick is protecting points so he finished behind the 33 (Ron Hornaday) I
believe and protected those five points from (Ron) Hornaday dropping back or somebody else coming forward. That’s what
he’s here to do.

He’s here to just run on the tailgate of the 33 and it left the door open for me to win the race. I don’t care.
We were upfront enough that we were able to do that and we were in that position that we could take advantage of that. I’m
glad I didn’t have to race (Kevin) Harvick because I felt like he had the better tires and the better truck. He did what he
needed to do to try to win himself and his team a championship.”

RICHIE WAUTERS, crew chief, No. 51 Miccosukee Resort Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports

What are your thoughts on the win?

“It was a great win. It’s always nice to have Kyle (Busch) driving the truck of course. He does a great job. At the end
there we took that four seconds of fuel and we’d been figuring all day on the fuel mileage and we’re two-tenths that we’re
leaving to the safe side so we knew we had a little bit but we quite didn’t get in as much as we thought we did on the fuel
stop so we were just hoping that we could pick everything up that was in the cell and luckily enough we were able to do
that. (Kevin) Harvick had a good truck all day and when he put tires on at the end there, at that last pit stop, he was pretty
good. Kyle (Busch) said he had a bad vibration so we thought we had a tire problem but it all worked out and he was able -
one he got out back in the clean air – to stay out front.”

STACY COMPTON, No. 60 SafeAuto Insurance Toyota Tundra, Wyler Racing

Finishing Position: 6th

Are you happy with a top-10 finish today?

“Yeah, but a little disappointed that we did not get a top-five. We got rooted a little bit by the 13 (Johnny Sauter) right there
on the last lap. That’s Johnny (Sauter) for you. It’s a shame. We had a good truck and great pit stops. Marcus (Richmond
II, crew chief) made good calls all day. We’ll take it. We just need to keep doing stuff like this and building on it. We ran
top-seven all day. We got shuffled back one time when some guys did some pit strategy. It was a good day for us.”

BRIAN SCOTT, No. 16 Toyota Tundra, Xpress Motorsports

Finishing Position: 7th

Are you happy with your run today?

“It was tough. It was hard. We got some damage on the front that really affected the handling of our car on pit road and that
put us behind. We had to come in and repair the damage and gave away all of our track position. We were in the back, tried
everything we could to get it up and we just weren’t good enough with the front end damage. All in all, I think we sacrificed a
decent finish out of it and I guess we’ll bring our Tundra to Vegas and try to have a better run.”

MIKE SKINNER, No. 5 Exide Toyota Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports

Finishing Position: 8th

How was your race today?

“We missed the setup on this Exide truck. I thought it was pretty good right there at the start, and all day yesterday in practice
in race trim I thought it was pretty good. I don’t really know exactly what happened – it just got tighter and tighter and
tighter. And we expected the race track to get tighter, we just missed the setup on it.”

TODD BODINE, No. 30 Lumber Liquidators Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing

Finishing Position: 24th

What happened to take you out of the race?

“I don’t remember this ever happening to a Tundra for a long time. A fuel pump quit. The whole fuel pressure stopped
running. Very, very unusual but that’s the story of our season to this point. If it wasn’t for bad luck we wouldn’t have any.
I’m really disappointed for Lumber Liquidators.

Coming back onboard and this is Tom Sullivan’s home area growing up in
New England. We wanted to give him a good run and we thought we could have our old magic back in that yellow truck.
We were running great, just a few laps and we were up to ninth already. The truck was really good. It turned the center
corner good, good forward bite and it was handling good. We had a good truck, that’s the upside. The downside is it’s
sitting here.”
