MIGUEL PALUDO, No. 7 Duroline Brakes and Components Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing

Finishing Position: 9th

How was your race?

“It was good, you know, top-10. Good for these guys and good for me as well for the points. I want to try to get top-15 (in points). We fought a loose truck during the race. Made adjustments, got free, got good in the middle, so next time we need to be a little bit tighter, but overall it was good.”

What happened on the final restart?

“I was saving fuel, so I tried to clean my tires before the restart, but the front ones I couldn’t. I went straight up in turn one and that hurt us a little bit, but once I got clean I went and gained two or three spots. It was a good day for us and I’m glad for a ninth-place finish here.”

TIMOTHY PETERS, No. 17 NTB / Service Central, Red Horse Racing

Finishing Position: 11th

How was your race?

“Oh, it was good right until the last lap. I hated that caution that came out there and gave us a green-white-checkered. I knew something about a little over halfway something was going on. It felt like a valve spring might have came loose on us. All in all, Triad Racing Technologies does a great job. Everybody in the pits did a great job. This Service Central National Tire and Batteries Tundra was great all night long. We have a weekend off and we’re going to work on this baby right here and take it to Homestead and the good Lord willing, maybe we can get on that stage.”

What happened on the final lap?

“She just blew up. It’s a good effort by everybody. That’s why they call it racing. We take the good with the bad.”

TODD BODINE, No. 5, Big Red Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports

Finishing Position: 13th

MAX PAPIS, No. 9 GEICO Tundra, Germain Racing

Finishing Position: 14th

How was your race?

“We fought like hell and I almost got by Todd (Bodine) going through (turn) three on last the restart, but it was a great battle and we learned a lot today and I’m really proud.”

Was the bottom lane the preferred line?

“It was good. It was kind of like the bottom lane was the fast lane, but to pass you had to go on the outside. Passing was very difficult, but I learned a ton tonight.”

JOHANNA LONG, No. 20 Panhandle Grading & Paving Tundra, Panhandle Motorsports

Finishing Position: 18th

DAVID STARR, No. 81 Zachry / NCCER / ASI Limited Tundra, SS Green Light Racing

Finishing Position: 23rd

What happened to your Tundra?

“We struggled with handling all day, but we started to get it right there at the end. I thought I was going to get a top-10, but
we just had an engine problem. It’s disappointing.”

JOHNNY CHAPMAN, No. 07 BOBBER.info / ASI Limited Tundra, SS Green Light Racing

Finishing Position: 29th

BRENDAN GAUGHAN, No. 62 International Trucks / Monaco RVs Tundra, Germain Racing

Finishing Position: 31st

What happened out there?

“There’s a big hole where there shouldn’t be a hole. I don’t know. On the restart, we were great, man. We went from 21st to like 11th in the first 25 laps or something. Our Tundra was fast just like we said it would be with race cars around us. We were smoking. Made a couple of adjustments right off the bat. On the restart, everything is good. Put it in first, put it in second, put it in third and all of the sudden she vibrated and ‘ka-bang.’ I don’t know what it was. Triad (Racing Technologies) does a great job for us. You never know what these things are. Could be a metal part. Could be many different things. They do a great job all year. That’s the first one I’ve had in two years now with Triad, so I’ll take that record any day.”

KYLE BUSCH, No. 18 Traxxas Tundra, Kyle Busch Motorsports

Finishing Position: 33rd

What happened between you and Ron Hornaday Jr.?

“Well, if you consider Ron (Hornaday Jr.) was in the championship, maybe Ron could have played it a little smarter on lap 15 and checked up a little and given room to everybody around. Obviously, if you make it a three-wide situation — I can’t go up in the dirt, you know? I’m already on the outside lane. There’s not three lanes out here right now. It’s a truck race. It’s the first race of the night here this weekend. So if I just lay over and give up everything for Ron Hornaday, that’s not Kyle Busch’s fashion. I’m out here to win a race just as much as anybody else is and when he races up on my inside, gets loose and takes me up to the fence, I ended up losing my cool. And, I’ve been wrecked four weeks in a row and finally I just had
enough of it. I’m sorry it was Ron Hornaday and he’s going after a championship, but the fact of the matter is it’s just — you can’t place all the blame on one person. There was two people who got into it to begin with and there was two people that ended it.”

What happened on the race track with the incident under green and then under caution?

“Obviously it’s two guys racing for tight real estate. There’s only two lanes of race track out there right now. I’m racing for a win just as much as Ron Hornaday is and it’s lap 15. If he wants to make it three-wide with a lap car knowing that you always get loose when you’re on the inside, he got loose and got into me and knocked me up into the wall. I lost my cool, yeah, no doubt about it. I’ve been wrecked four weeks in a row and I’ve had enough of it and I retaliated. It’s certainly my fault for doing that. But, if everybody wants to say Hornaday is racing for a championship and roll over, that’s not my fashion. That’s not anybody else’s fashion out here. All these race car drivers are racers to go out here and win a race and that’s what I was here to do and I got taken out of it on lap 15.”

Did you do anything wrong or do you feel like you defended yourself?

“My truck was hurt. I brushed the wall, but my truck was hurt where I don’t think we could have won after that. If you’re a guy racing for a championship, you need to be smart enough to understand that you can’t go three-wide on lap 15. Knowing how bad the trucks are when you’re on the inside of somebody, not expect to get loose. Yeah it was my fault after the fact, but who’s going to fix my truck after it wrecked in turn two the first time?”

Martinsville Speedway – October 29, 2011

- Denny Hamlin won Saturday afternoon’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) at Martinsville Speedway.

- Hamlin led the field twice for a total of 68 laps, including the final 14 laps.

- Hamlin became the 23rd driver in history to win races in all three of NASCAR’s national series.

- This was Hamlin’s first NCWTS victory in 12 career series starts.

- Tundra drivers Timothy Peters (eighth) and Brendan Gaughan (ninth) also recorded top-10 finishes.

- Other Tundra drivers in the field included Timothy Peters (eighth), Brendan Gaughan (ninth), Todd Bodine (11th), Max
Papis (18th), David Starr (22nd), Matt Lofton (31st), Johanna Long (33rd) and TJ Duke (34th).

- Peters is fifth in the unofficial NCWTS point standings — 48 points behind leader Austin Dillon. Bodine (sixth), Gaughan (11th), Starr (13th), Paludo (17th) and Papis (18th) are also in the top-20 in the point standings.

DENNY HAMLIN, No. 18 Traxxas Tundra, Kyle Busch Motorsports

Finishing Position: 1st

What did you think of your pass to take the race lead?

“It was great. Those guys — I know they were battling for the championship, so I didn’t want to put them in three -wide at any point, but it was just a gift right there into turns one and two. Just a great battle back. That was definitely the hardest 50 laps that I’ve ever driven at this race track. I had to restart 18th. We didn’t think that was going to be the case, but still like to see it work out.”

Were you worried about starting so far back with 50 laps remaining?

“Not until 20 laps into the run and I hadn’t gone anywhere. We just had to battle and it was so tough just to get through those trucks running two and three-wide — just proud of this whole team.”

What does it mean to have won in all three national NASCAR series?

“It’s a big deal for me — more than what people probably think. When they think that we go down into these different series — Nationwide and Truck — and we’re just going down there trying to get wins. From my standpoint, it’s very, very tough. The Truck Series is more competitive now than it’s ever been so it means a lot to myself to win a Truck Series race, especially just running one a year usually. It’s just been one of those weekends where you unload and it’s pretty good. I felt like we gave these guys an off-weekend as far as adjustments and stuff. I know you can have weekends where you can
unload and you have to work you guts out to get it right. This is just one of those weekends where everything worked out great for us.”

What did you learn for tomorrow’s race?

“The track didn’t rubber up as good as what we thought it was, but the track did go through some transitions right there through the race and we’ll adjust to that accordingly.”

What does it mean to get your first NCWTS win?

“I have to thank Kyle (Busch, team owner) for letting me drive this truck. This is something that really means a lot to me to get my very first Truck Series victory. Just have to thank everyone at Toyota for helping support Kyle’s program. This is a big race for all these truck guys and to have all these fans come out to Martinsville is great.”

How does it feel to get another win at Martinsville?

“This is a great race track for us. Even back in the Late Model days — this was always a great race track for me. I knew this was going to be one of my best opportunities going forward to win a Truck race. Being teamed up with these guys. Kyle (Busch, team owner) just sent me a text about a month ago and asked if I would run this. He wanted to concentrate on the Cup car a little bit more during the Chase and he’s our (Joe Gibbs Racing) last hope for a championship. I volunteered to do it for him. Hopefully, that all pays off for that team tomorrow.”

When was your truck at its best in the race?

“Our truck was just so good on the long run. That’s really where it seemed to excel and I felt like I did a good job. I didn’t abuse my truck very early for the first five to 10 laps — as soon as I put tires on — to try to make sure I had something at the end. That’s what paid off for us the biggest. On the last restart — I just needed them to get single file so I could pick them off. I felt like our truck was so much faster at that point of the race — we had better tires and we just needed them to get single file or figure out who was going to be in front. Obviously, we had some transmission over the radio and we knew those guys were racing for points so I didn’t want to put them in a bad spot. I told them if they just moved right over and let me go then they could gladly race right behind me. That’s exactly what they did.”

ERIC PHILLIPS, crew chief, No. 18 Traxxas Tundra, Kyle Busch Motorsports

How was the race truck this weekend?

“It’s been pretty flawless since we unloaded. We didn’t change much. Made a little bit of an air pressure adjustment there at
the beginning of the race after watching Cup practice. Put it back the way we practiced yesterday and the thing came back to
life and was really good after that. Then the rest was just managing your tires and when to pit so you had enough tires at the
end. It kind of paid off. I got a little nervous there when we restarted 18th, but Denny (Hamlin) did a great job getting back
through there and taking care of the truck.”

TIMOTHY PETERS, No. 17 Gearwrench / Strutmasters Tundra, Red Horse Racing

Finishing Position: 8th

How was your race?

“Great race — good hustle. We got eighth on the last lap. This Gearwrench Tundra — she’s used up pretty good. I love coming to Martinsville. It’s great short track racing. It’s a great day. It’s just fun.”

What happened with Brendan Gaughan at the end of the race?

“I guess he (Brendan Gaughan) just wants me to pull over for him. The 32 (Blake Feese) was wounded on the bottom and he committed high and I’m going to go up under him. He ran me down and I wasn’t going to give. If he’s mad then I guess we won’t be doing any appearances together anytime soon. I’m out here to race hard for my sponsors — this is my livelihood. We’ll go on to Texas.”

BRENDAN GAUGHAN, No. 62 South Point Hotel & Casino Tundra, Germain Racing

Finishing Position: 9th

How was your race?

“Our Toyota — I haven’t seen the loop scoring data in quite a while, but I believe our Tundra has passed more vehicles this year than probably anybody. We started 28th today and I would like to know if anybody picked up more than 19 positions. I hate qualifying at Martinsville and if I can ever just start up front at Martinsville — I think I would have just a normal day. But I can’t. I always mess up qualifying and it’s on me. I have to figure out how to qualify better here. Our Tundra went to the front. We got up there. We never got to the lead this time, but we got to the top-10. We got to the top-five. We were strong and in the end we just had older tires so we were just trying to keep that solid top-10 spot and we ended up coming home ninth.”

TODD BODINE, No. 5, NTB / Service Central Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports

Finishing Position: 11th

What happened with Max Papis early in the race?

“The stuff on the race track you can deal with and you can lay it off that it’s Martinsville and that’s racing and that’s part of the game. When you’re driving down pit road and the guy keeps running in the side of you — you keep turning away from him trying not to run into each other and eventually you’re going to hit a pit crew — that’s ridiculous. I had to let off and hit the brakes. I don’t know who’s crew it was out there changing tires, but I was going to run into them since he (Max Papis) had me so low on pit road. That’s the part that I have a problem with. Endangering those guys — it’s dangerous enough on pit road. Then it snowballed from there.

After I pulled behind him, he brake-checked me and I run into him. He got me again on the race track and run into me and then off of (turn) two. He got loose, I got under him and tried to get off him, couldn’t get off him because he kept slowing down because his rear tires were off the ground. Finally, I just dumped himaround because at that point there’s no saving it. I’m going to get run into. Some of that stuff is Martinsville, some of that stuff is lack of experience racing at Martinsville.

We’ve all done those things — I’ve done those things and I’m not proud of those things. It is part of the learning process and you have to go through it. Unfortunately, we had a great Tundra. We were fast. We had a top-five truck and we thought we had the best truck we ever had at Martinsville. For a while there we got to show it and I was running good. We were biding our time and just trying to keep the wheels on it. We got out of sync
on the pit stops and that messed us up. That’s why we went down pit road with Max. From there it was everybody hitting everybody.”

What happened at the end of the race?

“We had 10th and James (Buescher) decided he was going to run out of brakes on the last corner of the last lap. We battled. We had a great truck. All that skirmish with Max (Papis) is what messed us up and messed the fenders up. The thing started pushing and then we had our hands full after that. Just trying to ride along and get a decent finish. Passed some guys clean and was racing those guys at the end clean. James decides to run through us.”

MIGUEL PALUDO, No. 7 Stemco Duroline Tundra, Red Horse Racing

Finishing Position: 16th

MAX PAPIS, No. 9 GEICO Tundra, Germain Racing

Finishing Position: 18th

What happened with Todd Bodine?

“We had just a great run and Todd (Bodine) just ruined it. It was going to be my best ever race so far in my career. It is not what you are expecting from a friend — I don’t treat my friends like that or my teammate like that. It’s just disappointing. I was not expecting that and we deserve better. When things like this happen, I guess it ruins team spirit.”

Talladega Superspeedway – October 22, 2011

- Todd Bodine (sixth) was the highest finishing Toyota driver in Saturday’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) race at Alabama’s Talladega Superspeedway.

- Tundra drivers Brendan Gaughan (eighth), Kyle Busch (ninth) and Max Papis (10th) also earned top-10 finishes in the 250-mile event.

- The Tundras of Bodine (one) and David Starr (one) both led laps at the 2.66-mile superspeedway.

- Other Toyota drivers in the field included Josh Richards (13th), Johanna Long (16th), Miguel Paludo (18th), Timothy Peters (23rd), Chris Fontaine (25th) and Starr (30th).

- Two Tundra drivers are in the top-10 in the unofficial NCWTS point standings with three races remaining in the 2011 season — Peters (fifth) and Bodine (sixth).

TODD BODINE, No. 5, NTB / Service Central Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports

Finishing Position: 6th

How was today’s race?

“It was okay. Our truck wouldn’t lead for whatever reason. The two-car tandem — it just wouldn’t lead. We did our best to push and the best guy I could push was Parker (Kligerman). We were flying. Just got him turned around in the tri-oval. My fault. We came back and got hooked up at the end with Jason (White) and ended up sixth, so can’t complain. Service Central on the truck and got a good run for them. Another good, solid top-10. Just keep going the rest of the year.”

BRENDAN GAUGHAN, No. 62 South Point Hotel & Casino Tundra, Germain Racing

Finishing Position: 8th

How was your race?

“It was interesting. That’s a weird Talladega. The trucks are much more difficult to drive here than the Cup cars. The two- car push thing is much more risky and much more of an adventure in the Truck Series than the Sprint Cup, but we got it to work. We put our Tundra behind a couple different deals and, man, me and the 31 (James Buescher) got real fast. Me and the 3 (Austin Dillon) got fast. Johnny Sauter really did well for me. Me and Todd (Bodine), I think we both proved we could push anybody. Our Tundra horsepower behind people was just stupid sick, so it was fun. It was interesting.”

What makes pushing so difficult in the Truck Series?

“The nose and tail don’t match, so you end up lifting. Have anybody take a picture of the front nose and the back nose and you’ll see it’s a shelf. The front shelf goes under the rear shelf, so it makes it where it’s actually lifting the race car up from behind, but we made it work. It was pretty impressive, I have to tell you. I was one of the ones saying we wouldn’t do it, wouldn’t do it and I think me and Todd (Bodine) were some of the first two to do it. So I guess I’m still younger than I give myself credit for.”

KYLE BUSCH, No. 18 Toyota Certified Used Vehicles Toyota Tundra, Kyle Busch Motorsports

Finishing Position: 9th

What happened on the final restart?

“The guy I had ran out of gas. Everybody else already had a game plan so you’re left out. It’s no different than there being 13 cars left on the race track. Somebody is going to be the odd man out.”

What did you think of the race?

“It was a lot of fun. We started from 24th and I think in 10 laps, 12 laps we were top-10, then top-five. We got a speeding penalty and it happens. Let’s move forward to Martinsville.”

TIMOTHY PETERS, No. 17 NTB / Service Central, Red Horse Racing

Finishing Position: 23rd

How was your race?

“Not good. Had a plan there running top-five. I don’t get it. We cut it close last week at (Las) Vegas and did it again today, so I don’t know if we’ve got a pick-up issue or what the deal is. Great effort by our Service Central National Tire and Battery Red Horse Racing Tundra. I mean, everybody worked hard — worked too hard to get the result we got, so we’ll just pack it up and go to Martinsville.”

What is your perspective on the championship hunt?

“I’m not going to give up. ‘Quit,’ isn’t in my vocabulary, but it’s typical of the way our year has gone. We will see what happens.”

Racing her family-owned and operated Ali Kern Motorsports #28 Chevrolet, Kern not only found success in her first year in late models, but also competed in two NASCAR K&N Pro Series East events at Greenville-Pickens (S.C.) Speedway and Columbus (Ohio) Motor Speedway. Kern established herself as a racer who has the ability to take the next step. Her season results on the TBRA tour included five wins and three runner-up finishes in the 10 race series that included over 20 regular teams.

Ali Kern

With the championship, Kern now joins a select and elite crowd of recent young female drivers who have won a title in full-body stock cars including Johanna Long and Chrissy Wallace. Kern hopes that her recent success can propel her to the next level of her racing career.

“Hopefully this championship can open some more doors,” said Kern. “We’re open to anything, but want to focus on moving up to the next level. The NASCAR K&N Pro Series East is a great division, but we need sponsorship to run for our next championship. Finding a corporate partner is our next challenge. We feel we have a lot to offer and it’s just a matter of putting the pieces together to take the next step.”

Since youth Kern has been behind the wheel. Starting in quad motocross, Kern moved to karting and later the USA Modified Series racing throughout Ohio, Indiana and Michigan where she won Rookie-of-The-Year honors. She has three starts in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East and now a late model championship to her resume.

Atlanta Motor Speedway — September 2, 2011

- Two Tundra drivers — Kyle Busch (third) and Todd Bodine (ninth) — registered top-10 finishes in Friday night’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) race at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

- Tundra drivers Max Papis (14th), Timothy Peters (16th), David Starr (17th) and Brendan Gaughan (18th) posted top-20 results in Atlanta.

- Other Toyota drivers in the field included Josh Richards (21st), Miguel Paludo (22nd), Justin Lofton (26th) and Johanna Long (31st).

- Peters remains third in the unofficial NCWTS point standings and is now 14 points out of first place.

KYLE BUSCH, No. 18 Dollar General Toyota Tundra, Kyle Busch Motorsports

Finishing Position: 3rd

How was your race tonight?

“It was a really good race and certainly we had a good truck. It was definitely a second-place truck. The guys here on this Dollar General Tundra did a good job — just wasn’t the best. Just want to say that Dollar General has their ‘Race in to Win’ sweepstakes going on and people check out their local Dollar Generals and enter for their chance to win a trip to Champions week in Vegas. Big plus for those guys. Can’t say enough about M&M’s, Flexco, NOS Energy Drink and all our partners.”

What was the racing like with Clint Bowyer?

“It was kind of a deal where whoever got out front first seemed to be able to lead. He passed me there later in the run. Their stuff is just so good. Three years in a row here it’s been the case. I think I had it going on with (Billy) Ballew and then these guys have been able to take it over from me. Congrats to (Ron) Hornaday for winning — it’s good to see the old man back in victory lane and a good weekend for those guys.”

What did you learn in tonight’s race to use the rest of the weekend?

“I think the biggest thing is just understanding how hard to push the cars in the beginning of the run or trucks in the beginning of the run and how much that’s going to hurt you on the long run. On those restarts we’re flat out sideways with each other and pushing as hard as we can. You seem to burn your tires off faster and then they start getting away from you. Then on that last run of the race, I could kind of run them back down because I wasn’t battling everybody. I had my own race track and I didn’t have to worry about people. We had a good night, but hopefully we can carry that on throughout the weekend.”

Were you worried that Clint Bowyer was trying to wreck you?

“I’m glad he (Clint Bowyer) refrained from orders and not wreck me, but he tried a couple times. I was just able to hang on — no. It was hard racing. Certainly, we’re battling for it with the 2 truck and we understand that’s our focus. We’re trying to make sure that we’re doing our things right as well. Tonight, same as last year, (Kevin) Harvick was by far the best truck and we just tried to minimize damages. We did that here this week. Unfortunately, the last two weeks we weren’t very smart and we didn’t do that.”

TODD BODINE, No. 5 International Toyota Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports

Finishing Position: 9th

How did your truck handle tonight?

“We missed it just a little bit. We weren’t too bad. It was just too tight on exit. I couldn’t carry my momentum off the corner. We were good in, good through the middle, but we went with a whole different kind of setup and it wasn’t too bad, but just not fast enough to keep up.”

Were you surprised the race came down to fuel mileage?

“Atlanta usually is this way. Not for the trucks so much, but for the other divisions. I would have never thought it was going to go the rest of the way without a caution, but it did.”

How did you truck handling tonight?

“Our Tundras at Germain need a lot of work still. We made our way up through the field in the middle of it a little bit, but just too loose all night and everybody knows Atlanta loosens up at night and we were loose in practice so we knew we were going to be loose tonight. We tried.”

JOSH RICHARDS, No. 15 Joy Mining Machinery Toyota Tundra, Kyle Busch Motorsports

Finishing Position: 21st

How was your race tonight?

“We were really good. We just kind of on the restart there we got stuck in the middle and lost a bunch of ground and I just sped on that last green flag pit stop, but everybody did an awesome job. I had a really good truck. Just me getting used to the track. We were a little bit free in the center. Just me working around it, but I felt like we definitely had a top-10 truck, top-12 and we’re making gains. I had a blast racing here. ”

How did you save the truck late in the race?

“I don’t even know. That last restart I just drove through the middle just trying to keep momentum up and I was pushed a little bit. I got into the truck in front of me and then it got me loose and the track was straightening back out. We got banged around the little bit. The truck looks like it w as at Bristol, but it was fun. It was an awesome place to race today.”

How was your race tonight?

“It was pretty interesting. About the 10th lap I lost the power steering so I’m a little tired. It was a great night with Valvoline on board again this year. Of course we have International Trucks, Monaco RVs and just great sponsors and great people to be involved with. We’ve had a tough year. A lot of mistakes that I’ve made — a couple runs that weren’t real good, but this Germain race team and all the guys from Randy Moss Motorsports — our motto is never give up and that’s what we did tonight. We pitted again when everybody else did and gave up some track position to get two tires so Junior (Mike Hillman, Jr., crew chief) could adjust it and it was the right move. The adjustments definitely helped me. We got some breaks at the end when guys run out of gas. I hate it for Brendan (Gaughan). He had such a great run going in the South Point Casino Tundra, but we kept digging and got a third.”

How difficult was it to race tonight without power steering?

“It’s pretty tough. Right in the middle of the corner the power steering would quit and that’s where the most load is on the tires. That’s where you’re turning the most and I’ve had to do it before. Fortunately, it wasn’t totally gone. Once the load would come off the front tires, it would come back. It made it difficult.”

Did you have a truck that could race with the leaders?

“I don’t know. On the restarts I ran with Kevin (Harvick) pretty well there for a few laps and that’s when the tires were coolest and that’s when the thing wasn’t locking up as bad. You never know.”

TIMOTHY PETERS, No. 17 Red Horse Racing Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing

Finishing Position: 5th

How was your race tonight?

“It was eventful. I wish we could have got that fourth, but we just wore our right front out there. We couldn’t run the bottom — we could only run the top with our Crescent Hand Tools Tundra. Wrecked the primary in practice and the guys pulled this one out right here and the only two laps we had on the track, we qualified eighth. We look like your one-stop shop on pit road trying to throw some adjustments at it. The guys did a great job — not only here, but the guys back at the shop. We’ll carry this momentum to Atlanta.”

JUSTIN LOFTON, No. 6 CollegeComplete.com Toyota Tundra, Eddie Sharp Racing

Did you enjoy racing at Bristol tonight?

“At Bristol — I don’t know, last year when I came here it just seemed like a special place that I like to run good at. We had a great run last year here and definitely wanted to come back and make it a little bit better. As far as my season is going — it was really good for everyone over on the Eddie Sharp CollegeComplete.com Toyota Tundra. Awesome racing. It’s a lot of fun to come race here. When you’re racing with world class guys like Nelson (Piquet) and Parker (Kligerman) and Joey (Coulter) and all of them. It’s a lot of fun racing around them and bang door to door and now wreck each other. Juts had a great time overall.”

Do you think Elliott Sadler wrecked you intentionally?

“Yeah, I’m sure he did. Where does his paycheck come from? We were racing earlier tonight and I pulled a slide job on him and he ran into me three times after that. Then got clear of him for a while and on that restart there I was trying to slide him and get up to the top. The spotter said I was clear and I was clear at the time. Maybe I was too late. He wrecked us and I’m not going to put up with it.”

Did you have a truck that could win tonight?

“I don’t know. Track position is way too important. With these trucks here — the gears, the motors and everything we’ve got, it’s the wrong tire for here. Really hard to pass, but anything can happen. You can certainly make moves through traffic. I felt like we were probably the best truck here in practice, but it doesn’t matter right now.”

MIGUEL PALUDO, No. 7 STEMCO / Duroline Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing

Finishing Position: 31st

What happened to take you out of the race?

“It’s a shame for us — we had a good run going. We were going to stop one more time for more adjustments. We blew up. I just heard one big sound. It’s a shame, were doing a great job here and just wanted to keep it up for the final laps. Something happened in the engine.”

Long’s day began early Friday morning at Lucas Oil Raceway as she took to the track for the first practice session. Long informed her team that her No. 20 machine was extremely loose as they ended the first practice session in 24th. The team worked hard to get Long’s family-owned Panhandle Grading & Paving Toyota Tundra to rotate effortlessly around the corners, and Long improved to 18th on the charts in final practice.

Going into qualifying, Long was pleased with her truck. She went on to qualify 13th for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event, her second-best starting spot of the 2011 season.

As the green flag dropped for Friday night’s AAA Insurance 200, Long and the No. 23 connected, sending her No. 20 for a spin. Long was relieved that there was no damage to her Toyota Tundra but frustrated to restart 32nd when she returned to green flag racing on lap 5. With a clean restart and determination to race back to the front during the 200-lap event, Long picked off seven trucks before the second caution period of the night.

Johanna Long

Restarting on lap 83, Long continued to pass trucks as she took over the 22nd position. The last caution of the night came out on lap 89, and the No. 20 Panhandle Motorsports team stayed on track. Long restarted in the 21st position and was running 19th by lap 150. As her tires slowly wore down, Long stayed positive and continued to lay down solid laps. After racing on the same tires for 133 laps, Long crossed the finish line and registered a strong, 17th-place finish.

Long and her No. 20 Panhandle Grading & Paving Toyota Tundra plan to return to NASCAR Camping World Truck Series action at Bristol Motor Speedway on Wednesday, August 24. Live coverage of the event will begin on SPEED at 7:30 pm EDT.

TIMOTHY PETERS, No. 17 Red Horse Racing Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing

Finishing Position: 1st

How special is this win for you?

“It’s special! I can’t say enough about the guys on this Red Horse Racing Toyota Tundra in victory lane tonight. We had a tire coming apart. I spun out over here in turns one and two and came down pit road. Butch Hylton (crew chief) made a great call to put four tires on. But the guys do a phenomenal job. We had a little hiccup last week, but they made up for it this week. Like I said last week, I love my guys — they get me on and off pit road well. Thank the Lord man, I waspraying for no caution there at the end.”

How did you bring your truck to victory lane?

“We unloaded and we were super tight in practice, Butch Hylton (crew chief) and the guys — they threw the kitchen sink at it and everything but the driver. Man, we persevered tonight, I’m telling you. I can’t say enough about Tom DeLoach (owner) for giving me an awesome opportunity to get me where I’m at. Everybody back at the shop, Toyota — this thing drove like a Lexus.”

How were you able to recover from a spin to win tonight?

“Well the way we fired off tonight with our Toyota Tundra, we started off tight and everybody did a great job working hard. We got stickers and I was up under the 32 (Steve Arpin) and I just lost it under him and I was like, ‘Man, I don’t know what happened. They did a great call, came down pit road. Obviously we had to take four tires. We took the adjustment back out that we made previous and put it back to the way it was before and if I would have told you that was our last caution and we were going to go the rest of the way green, I would have told you were crazy.

With 20 to go, Butch (Hylton, crew chief) was calling out the times and he was saying he was fastest on the track just trying to get off the corner straight. At that point, when the tires are worn down like that, you just want to hustle because you know you have a good truck. I was just trying to be patient with the throttle and it paid off. The good Lord was looking out for us tonight. We brought our Toyota Tundra home in first place. It’s unbelievable — to win at Indianapolis just because it has Indy involved with it means a lot.”

BUTCH HYLTON, crew chief, No. 17 Red Horse Racing Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing

How did you keep your team calm after the spin to be able to recover for the win?

“That’s pretty easy with these guys. Our whole team is pretty veteran. We have a lot of guys obviously eight, nine year veteran guys and Timothy (Peters) has been doing this forever. He kept his head and he drove his guts out that last stint. I was so impressed with what he did and how he didn’t use his truck up — just one mark on the right front, that’s it. The guys did a great job. We had a lot of help from the chassis engineering building at Toyota Racing Development and I have to mention them. They’ve really worked with us hard the last couple weeks and hopefully we’re on the right track. We’ve been struggling a little bit. This was great to do this. I kind of had one get away from us last week, so it was nice to get
this one.”

TOM DELOACH, owner, No. 17 Red Horse Racing Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing

How does a win like this one in Indy affect your entire organization?

“Those days that you’re thinking about what in the world am I doing, why am I continuing to pull money into this. You get to this point and have that win, it’s magic. It makes it right — it’s fantastic. Working with these guys, they come together, they never worked together until the beginning of this year. It was taking a little while to get traction but you can kind of see the results beginning to show through. It’s working. I’m very proud of this organization. We preach professional all the time and execute and dog-gone if they didn’t do it tonight.”

DAVID STARR, No. 81 ASI Limited / Zachry Toyota Tundra, SS Green Light Racing

Finishing Position: 3rd

How does it feel to finish third at Lucas Oil Raceway?

“It seemed like the start of the season was just bad luck. We’ve been working on new things. Either we couldn’t get the handling right on our truck or just had bad luck on the race track. It seemed like Jason Miller, my crew chief and Matt Faulkner, my engineer and everybody on our Zachry Toyota Tundra racing team was — last four weeks have been really good for us. We had a lot of momentum and just building on it, making our trucks better and working on our setups trying to enhance everything. We had a good truck tonight all night long. We’re just racing hard and think we moved up to
fourth and was racing side-by-side with the 17 (Timothy Peters) and just couldn’t sustain him.

My crew chief came over about nine or eight laps to go and he said, ‘Hey, you’re going to have to start conserving fuel.’ I was like, ‘Man.’ You’re
racing hard and trying to hold off guys and they’re the ones backing up to you. It was just a great race. Our truck was good all night long and it was an exciting race. It was just tough to conserve fuel right there at the end. We all wanted to race for the win, and I was just the last eight laps trying to conserve fuel. Great finish for us. Zachry has been with us for four years and all our sponsors. We’re just excited to get our first top-five of the season and look forward to going to Pocono next week — it’s going to be a great race for everybody.”

MIGUEL PALUDO, No. 7 STEMCO-Duroline Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing

Finishing Position: 4th

Do you feel like you have momentum headed into Pocono?

“Yeah, sure — we needed that. I feel like today we could have finished the deal. We were running good sometimes and something happens. I’m really proud of my guys. We’re a little bit off in practice, like three-tenths and they made changes. It was better for qualifying and race trim was a tick better. Our first pit, Rick (Gay, crew chief) did an awesome call and we were good — we were really consistent. Congrats to Timothy (Peters) for the win and our two (Red Horse Racing) trucks in the top-four is pretty good. I’m really glad to finish this deal and thank my sponsor and everybody who is part of this year’s deal.”

How was your race?

“We were a little bit off at the beginning of the race. We were tight in the middle, loose back to the throttle. On the first pit, we could have hanged to the caution came out and the first pit Rick (Gay, crew chief) did awesome changes and after that the truck handled — it was good lap times and it was turning good all the way to the finish of the race. There was a lot of pit strategy and quick changes and I could drive it to the end. It’s a lot of team work and I’m so proud of the guys.”

Kentucky Speedway – July 7, 2011

- Tundra driver Kyle Busch crossed the finish line first in Friday night’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series
(NCWTS) race at Kentucky Speedway.

- Busch led two times for 61 laps, including the final 19 laps.

- Busch picked up his 29th NCWTS victory this evening — including his 23rd win driving a Tundra.

- The 26-year old earned his 98th NASCAR national touring series win — moving him into third-place on NASCAR’s
all-time win list.

- Tonight’s win was Busch’s fifth this season. He picked up first-place trophies at Phoenix, Nashville, Dover and
Kansas earlier this season.

- Kyle Busch Motorsports (KBM) now has six wins in 2011 and the team has not finished worse than sixth in 10 races.

- Brendan Gaughan’s third-place finish marked his highest-ever finish in a Tundra. Gaughan’s Germain Racing
teammate, Todd Bodine, finished fourth.

- Other Toyota drivers in the field were David Starr (8th), Travis Kvapil (10th), Max Papis (11th), Justin Lofton (15th), Timothy Peters (16th), Miguel Paludo (21st), John King (28th), Josh Richards (29th) and Johanna Long (36th).

KYLE BUSCH, No. 18 Dollar General Toyota Tundra, Kyle Busch Motorsports

Finishing Position: 1st

How was tonight’s race?

“It’s been a long day, first of all. Good thing I skipped the first morning practice otherwise I would have about another 20 laps in me. I can’t say enough about these guys on this KBM (Kyle Busch Motorsports) team. Everybody that pitches in to this deal makes it happen. It’s fun for us to come out here. It’s fun for all these guys — Eric Phillips (crew chief), Rick Ren (general manager) and everybody that does a good job for us. It was looking to be a (No.) 3 (Austin Dillon) truck night and then he had his problems, I don’t even know what happened. Then the (No.) 22 (Joey Coulter) was coming on me and I said
‘Here comes another one.’ And the caution come out and saved us — he would have passed us. We never give up. That’s our mentality. We might not have the fastest truck tonight, but we certainly gave it our all.”

Was it difficult starting from the rear of the field?

“We had to go to the back and it wasn’t that big of a deal. We ended up having a really good truck that would get us through the first half of the field there and then we just kind of kept working on it. It was really loose in and kind of tight center exit, and we tried making some changes to it and it got better, but then there late in going in the end of the race we tightened it up a little bit more for the short run for the entry and kind of hurt my center and my off. Those guys were really running me down and we’re a lot faster than I was — the (No.) 3 (Austin Dillon), the (No.) 22 (Joey Coulter), maybe a couple of others –
but they had problems. Whatever we had riding with us tonight was certainly a blessing and got us to victory lane. The caution came out perfect and we had two really good restarts there with some guys who were a little anxious maybe and spun their tires, so we just had to make sure we didn’t spin ours and get good acceleration down the front straightaway and make two good, solid laps. ”

How was the final restart with unfamiliar faces around your truck?

“The second to last one was with some unfamiliar (ones) too. The last one, yeah the last one those guys — Jason White. Jason was on my inside there. I know these guys are racing for their lives trying to get their first win. We were able to just motor on and get a better restart than they did and not spin our tires as much and accelerate forward. Again, just a great night for all of us. Thank all these guys, they did a good job for me all weekend. Hopefully, this is just a start. Maybe we can have a couple more this weekend. We’ll see.”

How does it feel to get your 29th NCWTS win?

“This is pretty cool. I can’t say enough about all the guys on this Kyle Busch Motorsports team. They gave me a fast Dollar General Tundra tonight. It might not have been the best truck. It was certainly fast enough at the end there when it mattered. We got some good restarts there and stayed out of the trouble behind us. It’s a big program and there’s a lot of people and that’s why we’re able to come to the race track.”

Do you feel comfortable at Kentucky Speedway?

“This place — you never get a comfort here at Kentucky. It’s such a hard race track. Turn three is just my Achilles heel. It’s killing me. I think it has been all weekend. I’d like to be able to get faster and I’m working towards doing that. We just got to work on things that will help me.”

BRENDAN GAUGHAN, No. 62 South Point Hotel & Casino Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing

Finishing Position: 3rd

What are your thoughts on tonight’s race?

“We went back, forward, back forward. We tore the right side off our Tundra midway through that race and we had to stop about five times and actually beat the front end back out and the splitter back out because it was dragging. The boys on pit road did a great job. Bryan Berry (crew chief), the last call — him and I have been together a long time and we think very much alike — with about 30 to go we stopped for the last time and I had a funny feeling he was going to say, ‘Let’s do two tires,’ so I turned on the left front blowers and tried to cool those tires down as much as I could. He said, ‘Don’t slide,’ and I knew what he was talking about. We went out, put barely enough gas in it. He and I think so much alike and it made up the difference.”

How do you feel about your finish?

“Happy as hell. Our motor was great. I just told our engine tuner that we ran this baby on that last restart red every gear, put it at nine grand and just kept on going. I love my restarts. I do a little bit different restart stuff than most other people in Toyotas or other makes and that’s why it pays off right there — great restart. I learned from (Ron) Hornaday and (Jack) Sprague years ago. I was hoping we would get the (No.) 29 (Parker Kilgerman) to smack the (No.) 18 (Busch) a little and maybe get us the ‘W,’ but we’ll take third right now.”

How did you gain so many positions on the final restart?

“We have a little bit different transmission ratio and do a little bit, some stuff I learned from racing in the off road years, years ago, and I paid a lot of attention early in my career to Ron Hornaday and Jack Sprague and really liked how they did it. They always crushed people and I learned a lot back then and when you’re up near the front it really pays off. What did I pass? Four guys in one lap? That’s what it’s all about. The Germain Racing team — this is what we came here to do, third and fourth. That’s what’s it’s supposed to be.”

TODD BODINE, No. 30 Georgia Boot Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing

Finishing Position: 4th

Was your setup off to start the race?

“We missed the setup bad. It was just not good. We kept making adjustments and we kept coming in and working on it and we never give up. That’s what we’re about a Germain Racing, we don’t give up. We had a new sponsor on our truck tonight, Georgia Boot, and we wanted to have a good run and here we are fourth.”

What happened in your accident?

“Man, the last restart I tried to concentrate and do a really good restart and I did it, but I got caught up by the (No.) 8 (Nelson Piquet Jr.) inside of me and I couldn’t lift, so when we went into turn three I left a lot of room and unfortunately I think he got sideways. I know it’s not intentional, but it’s really bad for us, especially because we’re looking for the points and try be back in pace. We had a good truck and looking forward to Iowa.”

Friday was a jam-packed day at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Long set out to learn the track with her driver coach Johnny Benson as the team worked on adjusting the truck throughout both practice sessions. Long improved over her practice times to qualify 24th for the N.C. Education Lottery 200 with a time of 31.269 seconds.

The 134-lap race began with an early caution period on lap 7. Long radioed to the crew that she was happy with the handling of her Tundra. Long brought the No. 20 Panhandle Grading & Paving Toyota to the pits for four tires, fuel and adjustments to fix the loose truck under the next caution period on lap 19.

On lap 44, the young driver reported a vibration in the steering wheel but was able to continue racing hard until the next caution on lap 51. The team pitted for another adjustment, new tires and fuel. Long restarted in 19th and started driving toward the top-15. Following a pit stop when the caution flag waved on lap 75, Long was happy with her truck and continued to gain spots.

Under the final caution period, on lap 106, Long reported that the truck had taken on a tight-handling condition in the corners. The Panhandle Motorsports team called the 18-year-old in to the pits for a package of adjustments and sent her out for the remainder of the race. Long restarted in 21st position on Lap 111 and raced her way to a top-20 finish.

Johanna Long and the Panhandle Motorsports team will return to the track on Saturday, June 4th, for the O’Reilly Auto Parts 250 at Kansas Speedway. The race will air on SPEED with coverage beginning at 2 pm EDT.

“Charlotte was a really tough track to learn, but Johnny Benson helped show me the lines and worked with me all day to adjust to the track. We were a little free during the first half of the race, but we got it handling a lot better. After the last pit stop, the truck was a little free, but we kept on digging and were able to salvage a top 20 finish. I’m really thankful to all my guys for their hard work. We will take what we learned at Charlotte and move on to Kansas.”

KYLE BUSCH, No. 18 NOS Toyota Tundra, Kyle Busch Motorsports

Finishing Position: 1st

Are you surprised to win this race?

“Not tonight. I had an angel riding with me there on that last run of the race with Zahra Baker. (A 10-year-old disabled
North Carolina girl who was found slain last year.) We didn’t have the truck to beat tonight — the 2 (Clint Bowyer) did.
Somehow I found some more out of it and I’m going to say that I had some help tonight. It’s weird how things work.
When you believe in it and you trust in it and you have faith in it — it will repay you. I can’t say enough about NOS
Energy Drink, about this team — Kyle Busch Motorsports and all the guys. From Toyota, M&M’s, Flexco and Dollar
General — this is a great night for us. To come out here with a special name on the side of the truck — it means a lot to
Kyle Busch Motorsports and all of us — Speedway Children’s Charities and the community here around North Carolina,
around Charlotte, around Hickory. It’s fun to come out here and do this kind of stuff.”

What did it mean to have Zahra Baker on the side of your truck?

“I can’t say enough about Zahra Baker and her troubling story and what all she went through as a little girl. Unfortunately,
her life was cut very, very short and we put her on the side of the truck tonight in order to give her some remembrance and some vindication maybe. I didn’t have the truck to win tonight and I think I had an angel riding with me. If you believe in that stuff, if you trust in that stuff and you have faith in it — it can come back and repay you. It means the world to me tonight.”

How did you recover from that early spin?

“We spun out and we only lost like three or four spots and then we came to pit road, got new tires and Eric (Phillips, crew
chief) made a bunch of changes. I don’t know what he did, but he made some great calls there. Got me something that
was definitely a lot better. It was drivable. We were just able to muster our way back up through there and once we got to second, I didn’t know if I could run him down. I had help and got up there and I got to him about three lengths back and I stalled out. I’m like, ‘I have to find something, I have to move around.’ Found it and got it. Thank Triad Racing Engines, Joe Gibbs Driven Racing Oil, Butler Seats and Camping World — of course the fans. It’s enjoyable to come out here and if a Cup guy is going to win it — it might as well be me.”

Did you fight handling issues with your truck?

“I don’t know if it was the handling on my truck — I think it was the handling on everybody’s truck to be honest with you.
Goodyear didn’t bring the right tire — I’ll admit that. The Cup tire is awesome — the Truck tire is horrible. I’m hoping we
have a good tire for the Nationwide Series next week — it’s the Cup tire rather than this tire. They do a great job for us, but tonight it just wasn’t it. We did have troubles and we were really, really loose all day. We saw it with my truck in
qualifying, Kimi’s (Raikkonen) truck — we just couldn’t get the truck in the race track. Once we got it tightened up there,
it seemed like I could hold my own and hold the bottom of the race track. Then I got to Clint (Bowyer) and you couldn’t
pass. The tires were just so hard that you would stall out and lose grip so you had to move around and find your own lane. Once I did that, it seemed like I could pass him.”

How much do you watch the record books?

“You kind of keep track of it a little bit, but I hear it through stats, you guys (media) maybe sometimes, some fans that
come up to me asking me about all the wins. It’s definitely — for me, my most important thing is to go to the race track.
I’m not going to the race track thinking, ‘Oh man, it’s going to be 97 tonight or I’m going to get 98 tomorrow.’ It’s more
about concentrating on getting your cars to feel good, getting your trucks to feel good and be fast and the numbers will take care of themselves from there. For me, it’s very empowering, but it feels good to be getting close to 100 — my halfway point. It may not quite be the same numbers that some of those other guys laid out there — all in the Cup Series. Maybe one day I will be able to have a lot of Cup wins as well too.”

What does it mean to tie Dale Earnhardt and Darrell Waltrip in all-time wins?

“Those are two huge names to match up with. I think Dale’s (Earnhardt) got 10 wins in Nationwide and the rest are Cup
wins, I think. That right there is just 87 Cup wins so you look at that and you think, ‘Wow.’ Then you look at (Richard)
Petty and it’s obviously it’s 200 Cup wins and you think, ‘Wow-er.’ Maybe one of these days I can get to the 200 point
and to me that is special to me.”

Do you think Kimi Raikkonen’s transition to the Nationwide Series will be easier next week?

“I don’t mean to be disrespectful to Goodyear — I’ll say this in the best way I can, but hopefully they bring the Cup tire — it will be a lot easier transition. Unfortunately, we did not have the handling the way he (Kimi Raikkonen) needed it to be today. He did a nice job from what I understand — I haven’t heard, but we might have to put a right side on it. That’s
alright — you’ll have that. Next week for the Nationwide Series race with the correct tire, it should be a better feeling car.

He should feel a little more grip and should be able to drive it a little bit harder. The engines are a little bit the same and
the cars go through the air a little bit better. Traffic will be kind of the same as what he felt tonight. Tonight was a good
learning experience and hopefully he learned enough today that will help him for next week and we’ll try to make the
transition a lot easier for him as best we can,”

ERIC PHILLIPS, crew chief, No. 18 NOS Toyota Tundra, Kyle Busch Motorsports

Has today been an up and down day for you and the team?

“It’s kind of been that way all day. We really struggled to get the truck that Kyle (Busch) needed. The tire kind of threw
us for a loop when we unloaded and we were just loose all day. It continued into the night. He spun there right before that first pit stop. We took a pretty good swing at it just to try to tighten it up. The guys did a good job getting everything done to it and Kyle was able to pull off the win here tonight.”

TRAVIS KVAPIL, No. 5 International Truck / Monaco RVs Toyota Tundra Camry, Randy Moss Motorsports

Finishing Position: 11th

JUSTIN LOFTON, No. 77 Lofton Cattle Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing

Finishing Position: 13th

KIMI RAIKKONEN, No. 15 Perky Jerky Toyota Tundra, Kyle Busch Motorsports

Finishing Position: 15th

What did you think of tonight’s race?

“The racing was fun. Too many cautions. Every time that I would feel like the car would start to run better then you would have a caution and then it would take the track a long time before the handling comes back.”

How did it feel to hit the wall?

“I hit it on the beginning and then I hit much harder and destroyed the car a little bit. The car actually run really well there before the pit stop. Once we got to pit then the tires and the tire pressures, it was better. The handling was okay, but for sure the longer runs were a good thing. Just because the car was better and better during the longer runs.”

How did the truck handle in the race?

“It was okay once I knew the car was much better than it was this morning in practice. Then it was okay just to know how it feels in traffic and stuff like that.

Were you pleased with your performance?

“You would rather be more high up, but how it felt this morning, now I was pretty pleased with how it felt in the race. For
sure, there is still a lot to learn and improve, but I think when we have another race it will be better.”

Were the restarts difficult?

“It’s just more to know what to do on the restarts and where to put the car. Sometimes you push a bit too hard and you run wide and you lose a lot of places. It is hard to get back to places. Really knowing where you want to be in the right position, but not really anything surprisingly difficult.”

Have you ever tested a NASCAR stock car?

“No I have not — I have only tested the Truck two times before today.”

RICK REN, crew chief, No. 15 Perky Jerky Toyota Tundra, Kyle Busch Motorsports (general manager, KBM)

What did you think of Kimi Raikkonen’s performance in the race?

“I was really pleased with his (Kimi Raikkonen) performance during the race. It took about five laps for our truck to start
coming in. He would lose quite a few positions in that first five laps. Then as soon as he got the tire temperature up — and I told him as soon as the tire temperature would come up that we would be better off and keep getting better. Actually, if we could have ran a really long green flag run at the end, our truck actually could get better the longer it went. It’s one of those things where we just kind of did some guess work looking at the notes and anticipated on what the track would do at night. I actually felt like I had to treat him like he’s a young guy who had never raced here before. A young guy can drive a tight race car, but can’t drive a loose one. I tightened her up pretty good to start the race.”

CRAIG GOESS JR., No. 46 Greenville Toyota Toyota Tundra, Eddie Sharp Racing

Finishing Position: 22nd

How was your race tonight?

“It was really hard to get a good feel for how the truck was handling because of all of the caution laps. It’s hard to work on the truck when you can’t feel out exactly what it’s doing. Just a really long night but I’m glad we survived and we’re
taking the truck home in one piece.”

MAX PAPIS, No. 9 GEICO Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing

Finishing Position: 25th

TODD BODINE, No. 30 Germain.com Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing

DAVID STARR, No. 81 Zachry Toyota Tundra, SS Green Light Racing

Finishing Position: 28th

BRENDAN GAUGHAN, No. 62 South Point Hotel & Casino Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing

Finishing Position: 30th

What happened between you and Max Papis during the race?

“Rough night as a whole for the Germain Racing team. Todd (Bodine) looked fast and I don’t know what happened to him.
It looked like he just got loose or I don’t know if somebody hit him. We were terribly fast tonight. Our Toyota was real
quick. I think we drove ourselves to like 13th the first run and then drove ourselves to the top-10 in the second run. We were going to have a strong night. We were saving some tires — we got to lead. In the end, I think we lost a gear is what it looks like.

I knew — my instinct was that something was broke and it was still running. It was broke and I kept saying it was broke and I knew to trust my instinct, I didn’t and in the end it broke in the middle of the corner, went up and tried to just stay out of the way and I think Max (Papis) was an innocent victim there. I guess he was trying to get underneath me and somebody pushed him into me. That’s just been the luck for the Germain Racing team this year is two of the teammates have nothing to do with each other and one is going to have a good night and we bang into each other. Our Tundra, from what I understood, was real dang fast.”

TIMOTHY PETERS, No. 17 Red Horse Racing Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing

Finishing Position: 32nd

What happened that took you out of the race?

“We were going for position on the 13 (Johnny Sauter) and we just kind of ran out of room. I thought the 2 (Clint Bowyer)
got into me, but he didn’t after looking back at it. It just came around on me pretty quick. I just hate it for all these guys
on this Gearwrench Toyota Tundra. It’s a shame — we were a force to be reckoned with tonight. I’ll take the blame on
that one.”

MIGUEL PALUDO, No. 7 STEMCO-Duroline Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing

Finishing Position: 35th

What happened that took you out of the race?

“I put it in third gear and I heard something. Then there was smoke. It’s a shame for us. A lot of bad luck and a lot of bad luck today. The good part is that we were running up front. Hopefully, we can head to Kansas and start over again.”
