<p>Finishing Position:</strong> 4th</p>
<p><strong>Are you happy with the way you ended your 2009 season tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;What a way to end a year with this <a href="http://www.Strutmasters.com ">Strutmasters.com </a> Red Horse Racing Toyota Tundra.  It&#8217;s just awesome to end a year on this note right here.  We looked to stay out and we didn&#8217;t have anything to lose.  We were gambling to see if we could get us another victory but I tried to get the tires as clean as I could and I spun them a little bit.  A rookie mistake on my part. I&#8217;ve got to thank Chad Kendrick (crew chief) and everybody on this team.  They do a great job.  From where we started at Daytona not knowing if we could make it past Martinsville.  Tom DeLoach (Red Horse Racing, team owner) gave me an awesome opportunity to be here.  <a href="http://www.trustmasters.com">Strustmasters.com,</a> Toyota, Toyota, Toyota &#8212; I can&#8217;t thank those guys enough.  I&#8217;m<br />
looking forward to next season.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How did your truck handle during the race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was good for us.  Our <a href="http://www.Strutmasters.com">Strutmasters.com</a> Red Horse Racing Toyota Tundra was good right off the lift gate.  We made a gamble there at the end to stay out thinking some people would stay out with us but everybody came in.  Chad Kendrick (crew chief) did a great job.  The whole team &#8212; considering where we started at in Daytona not knowing that I could make it past Martinsville.   I don&#8217;t know where we ended up in points but we had a good finish and got us a win this year.&#8221;</p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ft size-medium wp-image-29039" style="auto;"><a href="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/TimothyPeters.jpg"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/TimothyPeters-149x210.jpg" alt="Timothy Peters (Photo Credit: John Harrelson/Getty Images for NASCAR)" title="Timothy Peters (Photo Credit: John Harrelson/Getty Images for NASCAR)" width="149" height="210" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-29039" /></a><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:149px;">Timothy Peters (Photo Credit: John Harrelson/Getty Images for NASCAR)</div></div><strong>Why did those trucks beat you on that final restart?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;They had fresh tires.  Everybody came down pit road and we were just the lonely sole out there.  But all in all it was a<br />
good day.  I&#8217;m just ecstatic.  When we joined Red Horse Racing we were 19th in drivers points and I think we ended up<br />
around seventh.  It&#8217;s been an awesome year and I&#8217;m ready to go to Daytona.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What happened on the final restart?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;When you race with these guys you learn a lot and (Kevin) Harvick is the best of the best.  I cleaned my tires off but<br />
evidentially it wasn&#8217;t enough.  I made a rookie mistake and spun them too much, but he had new tires and was going to go<br />
by us in turn one anyway.&#8221;</p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ght size-full wp-image-16692" style="auto;"><a href="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/bodine.jpg"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/bodine.jpg" alt="Todd Bodine" title="Todd Bodine" width="183" height="200" class="alignright size-full wp-image-16692" /></a><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:183px;">Todd Bodine</div></div><strong>TODD BODINE, No. 30 Copart Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing</p>
<p>Finishing Position:</strong> 5th</p>
<p><strong>What happened from your viewpoint on the &#8216;green-white-checkered&#8217; finish?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;The truck series usually is pretty crazy with the green-white-checkered.  Before the caution came out we had the fastest<br />
truck on the track.  We were just so far back, we were running seventh, so we decided to come in, put two tires on and gain<br />
a little track position.  We pumped the right front tire up a little too high and it pushed too much in the last two laps.  We<br />
still gained two spots.  Copart and everybody, I really appreciate what they&#8217;ve done for us this year in getting us through the<br />
year with their sponsorship.  It&#8217;s typical Germain Racing &#8212; we just never give up.  We started the season with a win at<br />
Daytona with no sponsor on the truck and we made it through the season with the help of Copart, Ventrillo and Lumber<br />
Liquidators.  It was a tough year, but we got through.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What were you adjusting in your truck when you lifted the hood halfway through the race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;The first set of tires, we corded the inside pretty bad.  I think it was really the right call to come in and adjust it so we<br />
didn&#8217;t blow it out.  We didn&#8217;t need to finish in the back &#8211; we needed to keep the points up to finish fourth in points.  It really<br />
didn&#8217;t help it drive any better, but it definitely saved the tire and kept us in front of Johnny (Sauter) for fourth in points.&#8221;</p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ft size-full wp-image-5391" style="auto;"><a href="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/2009-ncwts-5-truck.jpg"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/2009-ncwts-5-truck.jpg" alt="No. 5 Exide Batteries Toyota Tundra" title="No. 5 Exide Batteries Toyota Tundra" width="240" height="160" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5391" /></a><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:240px;">No. 5 Exide Batteries Toyota Tundra</div></div><strong>MIKE SKINNER, No. 5 Exide Batteries Toyota Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position:</strong> 6th</p>
<p><strong>What happened from your viewpoint on the &#8216;green-white-checkered&#8217; finish?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;That was crazy and that cost us a spot right there.  I didn&#8217;t know if I was supposed to come on pit road or not.  Just had a<br />
lot of confusion going on with the radio right there.  We had about a fourth or fifth-place truck and we lost a couple spots<br />
right there at the end.  We&#8217;ve got a good race team and we&#8217;ve got a lot to build on.  I&#8217;m proud to be driving a Toyota Tundra<br />
and I can&#8217;t wait till Daytona.&#8221;</p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ght size-medium wp-image-3662" style="auto;"><a href="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/2009-ncwts-mike-skinner.jpg"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/2009-ncwts-mike-skinner-140x210.jpg" alt="Mike Skinner" title="Mike Skinner" width="140" height="210" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3662" /></a><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:140px;">Mike Skinner</div></div><strong>How was your season overall?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was a great season and I really felt like I would have liked to have finished a little better last night.  I thought that we<br />
might have had a little better truck.  Eric (Phillips, crew chief) did a good job, the pit crew did a fantastic job &#8211; I don&#8217;t think<br />
the driver did that good of a job tonight.  I kept overdriving the corners and trying to get grip that just wasn&#8217;t there.  Tim<br />
Fedewa did a great job spotting, he kept trying to get me to slow down in the corner.  When I would slow down getting in<br />
the corner, I would run really good laps and we had a really good truck.  Got to work on the driver a little bit with these tires<br />
that are like this.  Goodyear does a great job and I know they&#8217;ll get us better stuff next year.&#8221;</p>

<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  2nd</p>
<p><strong>How was your race tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We weren&#8217;t as good as the 4 (Kevin Harvick).  We did the best that we can and that&#8217;s all that we could come home with.<br />
He (Kevin Harvick) kicked our butt pretty bad last year and we got a gain on it this year and that gain right there, we need<br />
another one and we&#8217;ll be able to keep up with them or try to at least beat him.  We kept up with him tonight but needed a<br />
little more.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Did you feel that you had a race-winning truck tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We didn&#8217;t have enough for the (Kevin) Harvick trucks tonight.  (Ron) Hornaday kind of battled for a championship, played<br />
it smart and (Kevin) Harvick was really fast like I said before.  We came home second.  It was a good day for the<br />
Miccosukee Toyota Tundra.  We gained from last year.  (Kevin) Harvick whooped our butt pretty bad last year but we<br />
gained on it a little bit.  If we had another gain like that we probably would be able to keep up with him or win.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Did you feel like Kevin Harvick had a big advantage over you?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It wasn&#8217;t bad, it was about what I expected.  I expected the 4 (Kevin Harvick) truck to be really, really good in which he<br />
was.  I guess he wasn&#8217;t driving in the beginning of the race.  He was just holding back seeing what everybody had.  Our<br />
truck was good.  We made a gain on it from last year to this year distancewise from (Kevin) Harvick.  Harvick was just<br />
stupid fast last year.  This year I felt like we made a gain.  If we can make another one of those gains next year then we&#8217;ll be<br />
right on him.  Overall, the Miccosukee Tundra was good.  We led some laps and tried to go for the win but just didn&#8217;t quite<br />
have enough on those restarts there.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Do you think the 51 truck has a chance at winning the owner&#8217;s championship next weekend?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I can&#8217;t close the gap, I&#8217;ve got to take that gap.  They&#8217;re going to race next week hard as ever.  They&#8217;re going to go and try<br />
to win the race.  That&#8217;s going to be the plan.  They&#8217;ve got the driver&#8217;s championship locked up so if they go out there and<br />
try to win the race and are successful at that then we can&#8217;t catch them.  But if they go out there and try to win the race and<br />
have problems by having issues whether it&#8217;s a wreck or engine or a tire &#8211; it could be anything.  That&#8217;s why we race races.<br />
Hopefully we can battle it out and have a good, strong run and see if we can&#8217;t beat them.  Sixty points, I don&#8217;t know how<br />
many spots that is but I take it that it&#8217;s probably 17 or so.  So it&#8217;s going to be hard to do.&#8221;</p>

<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 3rd</p>
<p><strong>How did your truck handle during the race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We had a good truck.  Doug George (crew chief) and everybody on this AK Awareness.com Tundra did a really good job.<br />
I don&#8217;t know what it&#8217;s going to take to get one of these ones.  It&#8217;s not for a lack of effort.  I can promise you that.<br />
Everybody is racing their hearts out.  Our truck just wasn&#8217;t very good on short runs and for whatever reason that last set of<br />
tires didn&#8217;t take off very good for us.  It was really tight &#8211; that last set of tires.  We chattered the right front for quite a while<br />
and just couldn&#8217;t ever take off.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How was your race tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was a fun race tonight.  The race track widened out.  You could run two-wide pretty good.  The bottom lane was<br />
definitely preferred but you could move around.  It was a good race.  I&#8217;m just still disappointed, man, I want to get one of<br />
these wins some kind of bad.  We tried, we raced our butts off and we came home third.  That was what we had tonight.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Was your truck better on the short or long runs tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It wasn&#8217;t very good on short runs.  We struggled yesterday on short runs, too, in practice and for whatever reason it just<br />
wouldn&#8217;t take off.  We chattered the right front, chattered the right front and finally it would come in and take off and it<br />
would go pretty good.  I&#8217;m really proud of everybody at Billy Ballew Motorsports.  Doug George (crew chief) and all of the<br />
guys on this AK Awareness Tundra have been doing a great job.  We just came up short.  I&#8217;m going to win one of these<br />
races one of these days.  We just keep coming up short but it&#8217;s not for lack of effort.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How has your team progressed over the season?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Our team has really stepped their game up.  We bring trucks to the race track every single weekend and they&#8217;re capable of<br />
winning and I think we&#8217;ve proved that.  Talladega we ran one-two and unfortunately I was second.  Texas we had a top-<br />
five, top-three truck and I lost power steering about lap 35 and then here again we had another good truck and led laps and<br />
ran upfront but just couldn&#8217;t seem to seal the deal.  I&#8217;m very proud of everything that everybody&#8217;s got going on at Billy<br />
Ballew Motorsports.  </p>
<p>I&#8217;m very happy that Graceway Pharmaceuticals have come onboard and helped us get through the end<br />
of the year, but the Gods honest truth about next year, I have no clue.  Last year, two years ago, I probably would&#8217;ve felt<br />
like a little bit of an outcast and felt like the minority going to Homestead next week and not having any idea what I&#8217;m<br />
doing next year but for whatever the case may be whether it&#8217;s the economy, whether it&#8217;s just people not sure of what&#8217;s<br />
going on, I really feel like the majority.  It seems like half of the garage in all three series are really unsure on their 2010<br />
plans.  There&#8217;s a lot of uncertainty going into next year and I just seem to be a part of that.&#8221;</p>

<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  6th</p>
<p><strong>Were you not feeling well during tonight&#8217;s race at Phoenix?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I got the creeping crud.  It started a couple of days ago and my doctor has got me on all kinds of antibiotics and Prednisone<br />
and everything else to try to keep me alive so I could run this race.  Our Exide Tundra was awfully, awfully loose.  I don&#8217;t<br />
know what happened to the truck I had yesterday.  After the race, Eric (Phillips, crew chief) told me he freed it up this<br />
morning and didn&#8217;t tell me about it.  We need to communicate a little better on stuff like that.  Once he got it tightened back<br />
up, I wish I could have started the race like I ended the race because I think we probably could have gotten a few more<br />
spots.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Did being sick tonight make this a difficult race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Yeah, any time you&#8217;re sick, your focus is off and your reactions are off.  I was burning up hot one second and freezing cold<br />
the next.  My nose is running all down my mouth &#8211; it&#8217;s just not pretty when you&#8217;re sick.  That&#8217;s why drivers make more<br />
than mechanics because we have to be able to do that and we have to play hurt sometimes.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>MIKE BLISS, No. 25 Harris Trucking Toyota Tundra, HT Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 7th</p>
<p><strong>How was your race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was alright, it was kind of uneventful.  We took four (tires) at first and then we took two at the end.  We were kind of<br />
just sliding around at the end, but this place is always like that the last 50 laps.  It never goes that long.  We kind of counted<br />
on that.  It was a good run.  I&#8217;m really happy I got to run this Toyota Tundra and it was a good solid run for us.&#8221;</p>

<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  9th</p>
<p><strong>Are you disappointed with your finish tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I am.  We keep working hard.  We didn&#8217;t have the best truck tonight.  Our Zachry Toyota Tundra was just okay.  We got it<br />
better towards that second practice yesterday.  Jason Miller, our crew chief, found something.  It just wasn&#8217;t where it needed<br />
to be.  We had some great pit stop strategy and with a lot of heart and hard work, we never gave up.  We came out with a<br />
decent finish.  Top-10s is a good thing, but we shoot for a lot better than that.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What do you think about both HT Motorsports Tundras being in the top 10?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s a good thing.  That&#8217;s what we shoot for, we want both trucks in the top five and top 10.  It was good to see us both<br />
right there close to each other.  We just needed to be a little bit further up the pecking charts.  Not bad for a seventh and<br />
ninth but we&#8217;re definitely working harder to get closer to that number one spot.  With the way our truck was handling and<br />
everything we had to fight against, it was almost like a win for us.  You never get enough until you win these races, so we&#8217;ll<br />
just keep striving and working hard to do that and that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re going to keep doing.&#8221;</p>

Some of these drivers wear the same socks, or have the same hat, or do the same thing if they have won at a track.  I have won in Phoenix before but don’t have a lucky penny that I attribute that win too.  I think you win races by your approach and your determination, and how the race plays out is another huge factor for winning.  Friday the 13th is just another race day to me, and those are the best days.”</p>
<p><strong>Phoenix International Raceway:</strong> “Phoenix International Raceway is one of the places I love to race on cause it is unlike any other track on the circuit.  It has a dog leg on the back straightaway which means you have to drive it very differently than any other track we go to.  It is challenging but a lot of fun.  There is nothing cookie cutter about Phoenix International Raceway. That provides the best racing for the fans, and some of the most entertaining behind the wheel too.”</p>
<p><strong>Karla Blackstock, Senior Marketing Director, on Zachry’s Involvement in NCWTS:</strong> “Our sponsorship in the Truck Series is two-fold – employee engagement and brand recognition. The series and David provide a rallying point by engaging employees at all levels. David delivers messages at jobsites that are critical to our company and to NASCAR, such as safety, ensuring that our core values are personally relayed to employees. At any of our 100-plus jobsites, David and the truck are recognizable. As we rolled out our new brand last year, it quickly became evident that our new brand was vibrant and that our employees identified with it, partially because of the sponsorship.”</p>

<p>Post-Race Notes &#038; Quotes</p>
<p>Texas Motor Speedway &#8211; November 6, 2009</strong></p>
<p>- Kyle Busch won Friday night&#8217;s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) race at Texas Motor Speedway.<br />
Busch led 54 of 147 laps at the one-and-a-half-mile oval en route to victory lane.</p>
<p>- This win was Busch&#8217;s fifth consecutive win in as many starts behind the wheel of the Billy Ballew Motorsports No.<br />
51 Miccosukee Resort Tundra, and his 10th triumph in a Tundra  over the past two seasons.</p>
<p>- It was the 14th win for a Tundra driver this year &#8212; the most NCWTS wins for Toyota in the series in a single season.<br />
Todd Bodine (fourth), Brian Scott (seventh), Mike Skinner (eighth) and Texas-native David Starr (ninth) also had<br />
top-10 finishes for Toyota.</p>
<p>- Tundra drivers Aric Almirola (14th), Tayler Malsam (18th), Timothy Peters (19th), Stacy Compton (22nd), T.J. Bell<br />
(23rd) and Terry Cook (24th) were also in the field.</p>

<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 1st</p>
<p><strong>How do you feel about how tonight&#8217;s race worked out?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s cool man.  What a Tundra tonight, man.   This Miccosukee / Graceway Pharmaceuticals Tundra was awesome and<br />
Richie (Wauters, crew chief) and these guys have really done their homework lately.  It&#8217;s an accomplishment to beat the 33<br />
(Ron Hornaday, Jr.) bunch here, that&#8217;s for sure.  We got it done today.  You know, it was a lot of fun.  The 88 (Matt<br />
Crafton) &#8212; man, I hate seeing the 88 finish second.  I really wish he could get a win.  I thank the fans for coming out<br />
tonight.  It was a great race.  Thank NOS Energy Drink and all these guys on this pit crew &#8212; Billy Ballew Motorsports.  I&#8217;m<br />
pretty proud accomplishment to be here &#8212; five in a row.  That&#8217;s pretty sweet.  Undefeated back with Richie (Wauters, crew<br />
chief) &#8212; that&#8217;s what&#8217;s even more fun.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What are your chances of winning all three races this weekend?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I hope I didn&#8217;t screw it up for tomorrow.  I&#8217;ve never won here in a truck, but I won the Nationwide races here in the past<br />
three times.  So, looking to try to get the Nationwide win tomorrow.  Dave (Rogers, crew chief) and all the guys on the<br />
M&#038;M&#8217;s Camry will be working hard tomorrow during &#8216;Happy Hour.&#8217;  Try to get us something capable enough of running<br />
up front on Sunday.  We&#8217;ll see what we can get.  It would be pretty awesome to get them all three done here at Texas.  I<br />
wanted to win a truck race here for a long time &#8212; so this is pretty cool.  As soon as I get a Cup win &#8212; another one we can<br />
notch off the list.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Did you have it when you needed it at the end?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Yeah, we did.  We made some good changes on this Miccousukee Tundra today and really brought the thing to life.  I&#8217;m<br />
really proud of Richie (Wauters, crew chief) and all these guys.  This is an awesome race truck.  This is the same one<br />
(truck) we won with at Chicago.  We&#8217;ve got a match to number 11 (chassis).  This is (number) 32 here, 11 was always our<br />
chassis that kicked butt, so now we found another one.  All these guys, they do a great job.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Are your trucks good every time you come to the track?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;For sure.  You know, I really look forward to working with these guys and Richie (Wauters, crew chief) and everybody<br />
that works so hard on this truck.  We&#8217;ve got a lot of guys that probably don&#8217;t make a whole lot of money, but they dig in<br />
real deep and they don&#8217;t quit.  They don&#8217;t go home at five &#8211; they stay late.  That&#8217;s what it takes in this sport.  The dedication<br />
and the people to make it happen.  These guys here, they&#8217;ve been dedicated.  They really work their butts off &#8212; it&#8217;s starting<br />
to prevail for them.  We&#8217;ve got five in a row now with myself and it&#8217;s a total of seven wins for Billy (Ballew, team owner).&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Did you run the truck pretty hard at the end and wear down the right front tire?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Yeah, I did.  I was trying to stay away from the 88 (Matt Crafton) catching me &#8212; I was trying to stay away from him.  He<br />
was running me down.  He had a great truck.  I hat seeing Matt (Crafton) finish second.  He needs a win in this deal and<br />
especially to me.  We&#8217;re pretty good friends.  I wish I could pull over and give it to him, but that wouldn&#8217;t be racing.  Again,<br />
I had to run hard and I ended up pushing the right front tire off for a little bit too much, probably.  It lasted just enough,<br />
man.  Those lapped trucks that I had to get by in the last 10, 12, 15 laps, whatever it was &#8211; really hurt our performance of<br />
the truck and so we were fairly able to hold off the 88 (Matt Crafton) &#8211; which is cool.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Are the Toyotas getting better gas mileage than the other trucks?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Chevrolet and Ford lobbied for Toyota to get a smaller plate and it helped our fuel mileage.  So, thanks guys.  That&#8217;s all<br />
the difference right there.  Those guys have a bigger spacer-plate, we have tapered spacers and they have a bigger one so it<br />
allows more air to pass through.  When you allow more air to pass through, it takes more fuel to keep the engine running<br />
right.  Those guys have worse fuel mileage than we do.  The Toyota Tundras though, the guys in the engine shop at Triad,<br />
they&#8217;ve been working real hard to get us more horsepower and at the same time use less fuel to get better fuel mileage.<br />
Every engine builder does that, but our guys have made some gains this year in that area.  All you can do is get it from the<br />
crew chief.  If you&#8217;re short, you may have to conserve, but if you&#8217;re good to go, then you just go.  The Toyotas seem to get<br />
about &#8212; in a full fuel run &#8212; we seem to get three to five laps more than those guys.  It&#8217;s not significant, but it&#8217;s enough<br />
where sometimes it can make the difference.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>RICHIE WAUTERS, crew chief, No. 51 Miccosukee Resort Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports</p>
<p>What was your role in tonight&#8217;s win?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;When we started out tonight, we weren&#8217;t the best truck out there.  We had problems, we were a little bit tight and a little bit<br />
free at the same time.  We made a few adjustments and it helped it.  The last stop we made another adjustment and it was<br />
the best the truck was all night.  Of course, with Kyle (Busch) driving, he&#8217;s worth something there, too.  We&#8217;ve been<br />
working hard and the Toyota Tundra was the best it was all night long at the end.&#8221;</p>

<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 4th</p>
<p><strong>How was your race tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was a good run.  We were free in practice and we thought we had adjusted it and got it better.  It was just too free all<br />
through the race.  We kept adjusting it until it was as good as it was going to get.  Our Copart Tundra was just too free.  I got<br />
behind Ron (Hornaday, Jr) and  started racing him and got aero-tight and chassis-loose and it was a handful to hang onto.  To<br />
come home fourth, it&#8217;s not a win.  It&#8217;s not a third or second, it&#8217;s a little disappointing.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Are you disappointed with this finish?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We were just too free.  The way the rules package is, these Tundras they keep them from running with the other guys so we<br />
have to trim them out and really be free.  We stepped over the edge and had it too free.  Kyle (Busch) again hit it right on the<br />
money to get it right on without it being loose.  It was still a good run.  The Copart Tundra was fast.  I&#8217;m disappointed, we<br />
wanted to get another win at Texas, but fourth is good.  The way the middle part of the season was going, I think it we had<br />
five or six top-10s in a row, so I think we&#8217;re back in form.  We&#8217;re doing things right.  It&#8217;s about all you can do.&#8221;</p>

<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  7th</p>
<p><strong>How was your truck tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We had a really good Albertsons Toyota Tundra all night.  I had to fight track position at the drop of the green &#8212; didn&#8217;t<br />
have a perfect truck.  Jeff Hensley (crew chief) and everybody on the Xpress crew, they made the right adjustments and in<br />
the second run, man we were hauling.  We were fast.  I think, actually it wasn&#8217;t the second run because the first pit stop we<br />
took gas only.  After we got tires the next caution after that, we were flying.  I think we were fast as any truck out there.  We<br />
drove out to fourth.  We had a great four tire pit stop.  Came back in and pulled out of the gas and a lapped down truck<br />
pinned us in the pits and we gave away all the track position.&#8221;</p>

<p>Finishing Position:  </strong> 9th</p>
<p><strong>Are you happy with another top 10 finish?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was another top-10.  Our Zachry Toyota Tundra was pretty awesome tonight.  The team did a great job because our truck<br />
wasn&#8217;t very good at the start of the race.  We fought a lot of issues until about three-quarters of the way through the race.<br />
Jason Miller, the crew chief, and all the guys on our Zachry team did an excellent job.  They finally got it fixed and we<br />
came alive right there at the end.  It was a little too late, but we were battling trying to catch up.  </p>
<p>We needed another caution to put us in the show.  From what we started with to how it ended up, we&#8217;re pretty proud and that says a lot about this racing team.  It takes the force that we never give up and when our back is up against the wall, we just keep digging.  It was pretty good.  Not what we wanted, but a top -10 finish and we&#8217;ll hold up our head high and leave knowing we gave it everything we got.  We just got beat by better trucks tonight and we&#8217;ll go win at Phoenix next week.&#8221;</p>

Basically to run well in Texas the truck has to turn good in the center, because if it is not good in turn one then you will hit the wall in turn two.  Turns three and four are very different then turn one and two.  You cannot be tight off of turn two or it messes up your whole lap.  The best place to pass in Texas is coming off turn two, so you have to be spot on entering it.  If not you will have to regroup and then try again.”  </p>
<p><strong>NASCAR’s Rule Changes for the Camping World Truck Series:</strong> “I’ve always thought that NASCAR makes changes for the betterment of our series.  They seem to really take into account the fans and that is what makes our sport keep going.  I’m excited to go back to standard pit stops because the fans enjoy that more.  It is easier on the teams and the drivers as well.  We get it all done in one stop.  And the double file restarts will amp up the excitement level too.  NASCAR is always thinking about how they can make our series better and I commend them for that.”  </p>

<p><strong>Talladega Superspeedway &#8211; October 31, 2009</strong></p>
<p>- Kyle Busch was victorious in Saturday&#8217;s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) race at Talladega Superspeedway.  Busch led 10 of 98 laps at the 2.66-mile Alabama oval en route to victory lane.</p>
<p>- The win enabled Toyota to clinch its fourth consecutive NCWTS manufacturer&#8217;s title (2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009).</p>
<p>- Aric Almirola (second), Todd Bodine (third), Terry Cook (fourth) and David Starr (fifth) also recorded top-five results in Tundras, the first time since April 2006 (St. Louis) that Toyota has swept the top-five positions in an NCWTS event.</p>
<p>- Tundra drivers Stacy Compton (seventh), Timothy Peters (11th), Mike Skinner (19th), Max Papis (22nd), Brian Scott (23rd), Tayler Malsam (27th) and T.J. Bell (29th) were also in the field.</p>
<p>- Five Tundra drivers are among the top-10 in the unofficial NCWTS point standings &#8212; Skinner (third), Bodine (fourth), Scott (sixth), Peters (seventh) and Starr (ninth) &#8211; with three races remaining in the 2009 season.</p>

<p><strong>Finishing Position: </strong>1st</p>
<p><strong>How did the final lap of the race feel?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;That just happened &#8211; unbelievable.  I owe everything to Aric Almirola today.  Sticking with me from that last pit stop to the end, I told him if he just stayed with me they wouldn&#8217;t be able to beat the 15 (Almirola) and 51 (Busch).  Awesome job to Aric (Almirola), he can take my half of the pay after today.  I don&#8217;t get paid anything.  I don&#8217;t know what Billy Ballew will work out with him.  What an awesome truck &#8211; this Miccosukee Tundra was great today.</p>
<p>The guys did an awesome job building it. You can only go as fast as what it&#8217;s built from the shop so obviously a lot of work went into this thing.  Toyota clinched the manufacturer&#8217;s championship &#8211; that&#8217;s awesome.  Thank NOS Energy Drink, thank the fans &#8211; it was a lot of fun today.  There was a few moments that maybe got a hairy and a little sketchy, but overall it worked out in the end for us so that&#8217;s awesome.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What were you able to say to Aric Almirola in the closing laps of the race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I need a more private channel so not everybody hears it.  Basically, I had to tell him just the ways that I&#8217;ve been here in the past.  Last year I got beat.  The first year I was horrible.  We won&#8217;t go there, I think I was eighth or ninth, made a lot of mistakes.  Last year I saved a lot of that till the end of the race and didn&#8217;t quite get in the position that I needed to be in. Today, I had Aric (Almirola) behind me who really helped me and being able to just talk through him and telling him what to do &#8211; if we just stayed together.  The biggest patience in this race, I know it was 94 laps today, but there was 93 laps of patience and a one lap free for all that wins this thing.  Aric (Almirola) did an awesome job.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Were you worried that you were making your final move too late?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;No because I wasn&#8217;t yet to the 30 (Todd Bodine) &#8211; I wasn&#8217;t sure of what direction I needed to go, I wasn&#8217;t sure if he was going to block.  I sort of started up high slow to see if he would.  Aric (Almirola) was bumping me there so I didn&#8217;t want to be too jerky on the wheel and spin myself out on his truck.  I just pulled up nice and smooth and Todd (Bodine) held his line and we just went around the outside of him.  I was kind of surprised by that, but I guess he learned from my own mistake at Daytona, when you try to move up in front of a train that&#8217;s coming &#8211; you&#8217;re going to wreck.  We&#8217;ve seen that the last few times here, Carl (Edwards) tried to do the same thing with the 09 (Brad Keselowski) or whatever.  I guess when you&#8217;re the leader coming down towards the stretch you&#8217;re better off to just hold your line and take what you&#8217;re going to get.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How much did bump drafting play a role in today&#8217;s race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It definitely played a role because you never know how close you are to NASCAR&#8217;s line of going over of being too aggressive.  Earlier in the race the 30 (Todd Bodine) and the 25 (Terry Cook) were teamed up pushing each other down the backstretch and the 25 (Cook) got crossed up getting into turn three and they gave him a warning.  Then five laps later, he&#8217;s doing it again &#8211; all the way down the backstretch.  You can bump draft is fine, apparently, but push drafting is what the problem is.  I don&#8217;t know if there needs to be a new term laid out there, but I think I just did it.  The push draft is the problem and that happened a couple times today.</p>
<p>I never did it &#8211; I was bump drafting the five (Mike Skinner) when we were getting up towards the front.  I would always bump him, get off him, bump him, get off him &#8211; it would help the row along, but it wasn&#8217;t like two trucks get teamed up together and just push draft all the way around the track.  I don&#8217;t know where that line is.  I don&#8217;t know &#8211; you warn a guy once and he does it again and you don&#8217;t post him or don&#8217;t do anything about it then what&#8217;s the penalty.  Apparently everybody was supposed to be warned in the driver&#8217;s meeting, but I guess you can still get warnings out on the race track.  It&#8217;s a hard situation to understand, but Aric (Almirola) and I, we saved it for the last lap, from turn four on to the start-finish.  I think we played it out nicely.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What would you like to see NASCAR do about &#8216;push-drafting?&#8217;</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;What I would like to see is if NASCAR issues the warning in the driver&#8217;s meeting tomorrow then that&#8217;s your warning.  If you do it and cross their line, their aggressive driving line they&#8217;ve got, if you go over that then I would like to see a drive through penalty &#8211; you get posted, black-flagged, drive through penalty.  Then you have to come down and do your penalty.  How long can you push a guy?  On the Cup side, Denny (Hamlin) has actually been practicing that in practice the past few years here. His time is two laps &#8211; he can push a guy for two complete, full laps and then he starts to get about 250 degrees on water temp, which is about too high.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What is the difference between a &#8216;bump-draft&#8217; and a &#8216;push-draft?&#8217;</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;You don&#8217;t really want to push or bump draft through the corners, that&#8217;s the thing.  Here you can get away with doing it because there&#8217;s so much grip.  The push draft, when you get up on a guy and just start pushing him and you start picking his speed up, you actually start lifting him up off the race track and the back of the truck is just sort of sliding around.  It&#8217;s like a wheel barrel, you&#8217;re just up on the front two tires like you&#8217;re just steering it like that. The bump draft, if it&#8217;s gentle enough, if you&#8217;re not Juan Pablo Montoya and just plow a guy and if you just bump a guy, you can keep that row going.  It&#8217;s just little bumps, it doesn&#8217;t lift your tires off the ground, it doesn&#8217;t do anything and it gives that guy a sense.  When you bump them straight on, he might have to move the wheel a little bit, but he&#8217;s not chasing the back of his truck all around when he&#8217;s getting a push draft.  He just gets a bump, figures it out and he&#8217;s back on the ground.  It happens quick enough where everything settles out.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>Finishing Position:</strong> 2nd</p>
<p><strong>How was your race today?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was a good race, it was fun.  We had a good truck.  I&#8217;m real proud of Doug George (crew chief) and all the guys on this team.  Everybody at Billy Ballew Motorsports did a great job and worked really hard.  We had two awesome speedway trucks and it showed today.  There were not very many people that could hang with us (Kyle Busch) when we got together and we proved that a couple times throughout the race.  We tried not to show our cards too much in the beginning.  It paid off and it was a one-two finish for Billy Ballew &#8211; I just wanted to be one bad.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What did it mean when Kyle Busch drove down pit road to thank you?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It meant the world.  As hard as it is to win these races, he&#8217;s won a lot of them and he knows that it was a team effort today. Congratulations to Billy Ballew in his 300th start in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and he got a one-two finish so that&#8217;s pretty awesome for him.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Was bump drafting getting out of hand for a truck race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;In the beginning of the race, Todd (Bodine) was behind me and I was behind the six (Colin Braun) and I never touched the six, Todd (Bodine) never touched me and we were just cruising around, just riding.  I was riding seriously half to three- quarters throttle just to make sure that I didn&#8217;t run into the back of the six (Braun).  30 laps into the race, all of the sudden I was getting slammed from the back.  It was for no reason really, we weren&#8217;t going anywhere. The guy in front of me wasn&#8217;t going to go any faster from me slamming into him.  A couple times I actually burned the brakes up, the brakes went all the way to the floor board just to keep from running over the people in front of me.  If we knocked our grill and our duct work in, then we had to come in to take tape off then we surely weren&#8217;t going to have a shot to win.  I think people were really aggressive and didn&#8217;t need to be.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>Finishing Position: </strong> 3rd</p>
<p><strong>Are you disappointed with a third-place finish?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We got used to winning for sure.  We made the right move &#8211; we had a great truck and made the right move at the end and got the lead.  We just didn&#8217;t have a teammate.  Kyle (Busch) had his teammate right behind him.  I could have blocked him coming to the checkers, but I didn&#8217;t want to be like Carl Edwards and end up in the catch fence.  With Kyle (Busch), that&#8217;s what would have happened &#8211; he&#8217;s a racer and you can&#8217;t blame him for that.  It was a great day for Billy Ballew Motorsports with a one-two finish.  Our Germain Copart Tundra was fast, it was again the best truck and it drove fantastic.  We just ended up third.  There&#8217;s nothing you can do but be happy with it and we had a good day.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Was bump drafting getting out of hand for a truck race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;This is my one chance to speak so I&#8217;m going to speak a little bit here.  They need to do something with the Cup cars, the Nationwide cars and the trucks with the bump drafting &#8211; everybody knows it, everybody said it.  It&#8217;s getting out of control with the Cup cars with guys hitting each other in the corners, spinning each other out.  It&#8217;s a simple solution &#8211; brace the back bumpers up as hard as you can brace them.  You ought to see the back bumper in my truck &#8211; it&#8217;s like a Mack Truck bumper. The next thing you do is you take the bumper out of the front so if you hit somebody, you hit them with fiberglass.  I&#8217;m not going to hit somebody with fiberglass and mess my aerodynamics up so what&#8217;s that do?  It stops everybody from bump drafting, it&#8217;s a simple solution.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>Finishing Position: </strong> 4th</p>
<p><strong>What happened to your truck early in the race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We were losing horsepower so we had to come in and work on it and every we were taping the air box and got it double- nutted so then we were able to fix that.  Then we blew up the transmission with about 14 laps to go and it was spitting rear end grease out, smoking inside the truck.  We had just about everything go wrong that you could and still come out with a top-five finish.  This is a big day for Harris Trucking  &#8212; to have two trucks in the top-five &#8211; that&#8217;s a big weekend.  I wish I wouldn&#8217;t have had to come from the back because we had a horse.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>Finishing Position: </strong> 5th</p>
<p><strong>What was your strategy in the closing laps?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We were trying to do the right thing, I was thinking of which way I should go and who I should go with.  Going from second to fifth is a little disappointing, but a top-five for HT Motorsports and Terry Cook did a heck of a job.  I should have jumped up to the high side, but you second-guess yourself and if I would have jumped up to the high side then they would have gone to the bottom.  Then I would have finished a little further back.  It was a great race &#8211; our Zachery Toyota Tundra was awesome.  All the guys did a heck of a job and I can&#8217;t thank them enough.&#8221;</p>

<p>Post-Qualifying Notes &#038; Quotes</p>
<p>Talladega Superspeedway &#8211; October 30, 2009</strong></p>
<p><strong>TERRY COOK, No. 25 Cajun Industries Toyota Tundra, HT Motorsports</p>
<p>Starting Position:</strong>  2nd</p>
<p><strong>How was your qualifying lap?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re very pleased with the Harris Trucking / Cajun Industries Toyota Tundra.  It was good.  On the chassis dyno and the wind<br />
tunnel, if they tell you anything, they tell you you&#8217;ve got a pretty truck.  We spent a lot of time with this truck, rubbing on it and<br />
made sure that it not only qualified good, but really, ultimately raced well.  So far, the qualifying part is coming true and<br />
hopefully it will race well tomorrow.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What do you think of the rule changes announced for 2010?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Thank you.  That is it, thank you.  It&#8217;s been a long time coming.  The rule changes, I think NASCAR did a great job in making sure<br />
the teams could feasibly get through the season so I applaud them for that.  The pit stop rules that we had where you fuel one time<br />
and then tires on the next, I think it just confused everybody, confused the drivers.  I think we opened ourselves up to getting<br />
somebody hurt, whether it be a track worker on the track or crew members on pit road.  Going back to the format and now we have<br />
figured out a way to where it&#8217;s going to be six people over the wall so that saves us the cost of one person, instead of the Cup or<br />
Nationwide that have seven, so that&#8217;s going to help a bunch.  </p>
<p>The new engine rule where we have to run a sealed motor every two races instead of every three is going to help a bunch.  Really excited about the outlook of the Truck Series going forward and as you mentioned, having been here for as many starts as I&#8217;ve had, I&#8217;ve seen the Truck Series go through a lot of changes and I applaud NASCAR for making this change.  </p>
<p>The double-file restarts, I first saw that in Phoenix in the Camping World West Series back in April and I thought it was just great side-by-side racing.  I was excited when it got introduced into the Nationwide and Cup series, but was disappointed that they didn&#8217;t do it in the Truck Series around Indianapolis race weekend.  Knowing that going forward we&#8217;re going to have double-file restarts, I&#8217;m excited about that as well.  I applaud all their changes.  Personally, I think it was a little overdue, I was looking for all these changes about mid-season this year, but glad to see they are taking the initiative to where we<br />
will have them next year.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>MAX PAPIS, No. 13 GEICO Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing</p>
<p>Starting Position: </strong> 3rd</p>
<p><strong>How much are you looking forward to tomorrow&#8217;s race with such a good qualifying run?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;The GEICO Toyota was just great &#8212; it drove by itself.  We did a lot of work to make it a little faster and the guys in the shop,<br />
they&#8217;re just amazing.  It&#8217;s as much of a team effort as it can be.  When you come to a place like this I think you need to maximize<br />
the length of the bolt in the truck.  I guess they did it all and it&#8217;s proven to work.  It might have been facilitated a bit by starting in<br />
the back, but you need to put up the number and we did it so we&#8217;re happy.  This is a big thing for me, especially since it&#8217;s the second<br />
time for me at Talladega.  Just let me enjoy what it means to be in the top-five because it&#8217;s just huge.  I know it&#8217;s only qualifying,<br />
but I just like to enjoy every second of it.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>ARIC ALMIROLA, No. 15 Graceway Pharmaceuticals/AKawareness.com Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports</p>
<p>Starting Position: </strong> 5th</p>
<p><strong>Are you happy with your qualifying lap?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m really pleased with that.  We go to these restrictor plate races all the time and we watch the 30 (Todd Bodine), as far as<br />
Toyotas go, outrun us.  He&#8217;s won the last four of them.  I think that&#8217;s pretty good for us, let alone just to be able to outrun him in<br />
qualifying.  Qualifying doesn&#8217;t mean a whole lot here.  We practiced real well, we got a good race truck, so I&#8217;m excited for<br />
tomorrow.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>TODD BODINE, No. 30 Copart Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing</p>
<p>Starting Position: </strong> 6th</p>
<p><strong>How was your qualifying effort?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I got a lot of excuses.  I had a headwind down the front straightaway, and a flock of geese flew in front of me in front of the back<br />
and messed the air all up and slowed me way down.  It&#8217;s Talladega.  It doesn&#8217;t matter where you start.  It&#8217;s how good your truck<br />
drives, how good it drives in the draft.  This truck has won the last four speedway races and it drives awesome.  We actually even<br />
made it a little better this morning with a couple things.  I think the Copart Tundra is going to be just fine.  It&#8217;s great to have the<br />
pole, but that doesn&#8217;t get the big check and the big trophy.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Does your starting position at Talladega affect your strategy?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;If you&#8217;re way back, yeah, you have to look at it a little differently.  I don&#8217;t even know what I ran, but we&#8217;ll be close to 10th or<br />
something and that&#8217;s close enough to the front.  Just find a hole and just wait around for the end and see what you got.  Make some<br />
adjustments and go from there.  I&#8217;ve started like 28th here before and 10 laps was leading.  If you do the right things in the draft and<br />
you make the right moves, it&#8217;s not a big deal.  I&#8217;m not really worried about it.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>TAYLER MALSAM, No. 81 One Eighty Toyota Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports</p>
<p>Starting Position: </strong> 8th</p>
<p><strong>How was your truck in practice?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was awesome.  This Randy Moss team did an awesome job giving me a good truck.  Same one as we brought to Daytona and<br />
we had a lot of fun with it.  It should be a good race.  Drafting here is so much different than Daytona.  It&#8217;s so much more smooth<br />
and it&#8217;s a lot more fun, that&#8217;s for sure.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How much fun is it to learn drafting techniques from the veterans?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I like it a lot, especially following Mike (Skinner) or (Ron) Hornaday and those guys, because I can follow them up through the<br />
track and see where their lines go and how they like to run.  It&#8217;s a lot of fun and I&#8217;m very fortunate to have Mike (Skinner) as a<br />
teammate, especially if we qualify near each other today.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>STACY COMPTON, No. 60 SafeAuto Insurance / Melling Engine Parts Toyota Tundra, Wyler Racing</p>
<p>Starting Position: </strong> 9th</p>
<p><strong>KYLE BUSCH, No. 51 Miccosukee Resorts Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports</p>
<p>Starting Position:</strong>  10th</p>
<p><strong>MIKE SKINNER, No. 5 PC Miler Navigator Toyota Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports</p>
<p>Starting Position:</strong>  11th</p>
<p><strong>How was your truck in qualifying?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s the first qualifying run that we&#8217;ve done and our PC Miler Navigator Toyota Tundra is driving very, very good today.  I think<br />
it&#8217;ll race pretty good.  I don&#8217;t think we&#8217;re the cream of the crop, by any means, but if we catch the right draft there towards the end, I think we can finish well.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How sensitive are the trucks to who you&#8217;re drafting with?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not so much how sensitive the trucks are, it&#8217;s how you react to what the drivers are gonna do.  We were talking about that<br />
earlier.  Over in the Cup (Series) side, you&#8217;re drafting with certain people and you say, &#8216;He&#8217;s gonna do one of three or four things.&#8217;<br />
You can kind of narrow it down.  There&#8217;s been a couple of them I was riding around out there with today, there might be 10<br />
different things, or eight different things.  I&#8217;m like, &#8216;Wow, why did he do that?&#8217;  It&#8217;s just the experience level with those guys over<br />
there.  They&#8217;re a little bit more seasoned as far as drafting goes.  You gotta be a little bit aware.  You can&#8217;t take it for granted, what<br />
the guy in front of your or beside you is gonna do over here.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>TOYOTA NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS)</p>
<p>Post-Race Notes &#038; Quotes</p>
<p>Martinsville Speedway &#8211; October 24, 2009</strong></p>
<p>- Tundra driver Timothy Peters, who resides in Danville, Va., earned his first career NASCAR Camping World Truck<br />
Series (NCWTS) win in Saturday afternoon&#8217;s race at Martinsville Speedway.</p>
<p>- Peters led the final 84 (of 200) laps to earn the 12th victory for Toyota in 2009 and the 63rd since joining series<br />
competition in 2004.</p>
<p>- Along with Peters, five Tundra drivers also earned top-10 finishes at half-mile Virginia short track, including Todd<br />
Bodine (second), Denny Hamlin (sixth), David Starr (eighth) and Terry Cook (10th).</p>
<p>- Toyota drivers Aric Almirola (12th), Stacy Compton (14th), Max Papis (21st), Mike Skinner (23rd), Brian Scott (24th),<br />
Tayler Malsam (28th), T.J. Bell (30th) and Peyton Sellers (31st) were also in the field.</p>
<p>- Five Tundra drivers are among the top-10 in the unofficial point standings &#8212; Skinner (third), Bodine (fourth), Scott (fifth),<br />
Peters (seventh) and Starr (ninth) &#8211; with four races remaining in the 2009 season.</p>
<p><strong>TIMOTHY PETERS, No. 1 Strutmasters Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing</p>
<p>Finishing Position:  </strong> 1st</p>
<p><strong>How does it feel to get your first truck series victory at your home track?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Words can&#8217;t describe what I&#8217;m going through right now.  These two guys up here &#8212; Tom DeLoach (team owner) for<br />
believing in me and giving me an opportunity.  Chad Kendrick (crew chief) for sticking with me when neither one of us knew<br />
what would happen in our future.  Chip Lofton with <a href="http://www.Strutmasters.com">Strutmasters.com</a>.  Mike Smith (track public relations) and Clay Campbell (track president) &#8212; I can&#8217;t say enough about these guys for the show that they put on not only for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series here at Martinsville Speedway but the Balley&#8217;s 300 also, a Late Model stock race.  It&#8217;s been bitter sweet &#8212; a long time coming.  This was is for my dad.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Were you worried that you would run out of fuel?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I was a little worried about that in the beginning.  What a great call Chad (Kendrick) made at the beginning to come down pit<br />
road to get tires.  We were just so loose on forward bite on the beginning of the run in this <a href="http://www.Strutmasters.com">Strutmasters.com</a>, Red Horse<br />
Racing Toyota Tundra.  I can&#8217;t thank these guys enough.  Everybody involved with us.  The No. 1 was number one today.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What were you thinking the last few laps?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;The last 10 laps, I was saying my prayers.  &#8216;C&#8217;mon Lord, let&#8217;s go 10 laps.&#8217;  Thank the Lord above.  This right here is<br />
awesome to win at Martinsville for my Dad, who I lost in (2001).  I have a lot of memories right here.  I&#8217;m speechless.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Did you feel anything special this morning that made you think you could win?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s nothing out of the ordinary other than I wanted to race today really bad because I knew in race trim we had a real good<br />
truck.  We were just a little too free in qualifying and didn&#8217;t get the starting position that we like, but again, the beginning of<br />
the race, we were just a little too free as far as our drive off.  We came down pit road somewhat out of sequence.  Chad made<br />
great calls.  Nothing is any different.  I got up and put my clothes on the same way I do every day.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What did it mean to have veteran drivers congratulate you in victory lane?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I had Todd (Bodine) and Ron (Hornaday) come up.  I thought I was going to have a heart attack from that cold Gatorade he<br />
dumped on me.  Terry Cook, Stacy Compton, all the guys that have had success in this sport, especially Todd and Ron with<br />
their championships &#8212; it&#8217;s an awesome feeling.  Tom (DeLoach) talked about the last time that he had been victory lane was<br />
&#8217;06, and the last time I was in victory lane was &#8217;05 and it was here.  It feels great to be in victory lane.  Four years is a long<br />
time, especially when you come off Saturday night short tracks and you&#8217;re used to winning week in and week out.  We knew<br />
we had to get the respect of these guys because they&#8217;re professionals.  Hopefully they see that with us.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>CHAD KENDRICK, crew chief, No. 1 Strutmasters Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing</p>
<p>What were your thoughts in the final laps of the race today?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Since Vegas this race right here &#8211; I have a calendar in my office and this race was marked.  So as soon as Vegas as over<br />
our thought concentration and everything went into this race.  We went and tested and tested and went to the seven-post and<br />
we put a lot of effort.  We also put a lot of effort into the fuel because we were here in the spring and was running fifth with<br />
eight to go and ran out.  So we sat down and we looked at it and looked at it and in practice we probably spent just as much<br />
time on the fuel mileage stuff as we did getting the truck prepared to win.  </p>
<p>When the race started the truck was actually a lot<br />
freer than I anticipated it being and it was almost to the point where I could visually see that he (Timothy Peters) didn&#8217;t<br />
have a truck to win at the front of the race and he was telling me that he didn&#8217;t have a truck to win at the front of the race.<br />
When that caution fell we had planned from the set of the race that we were going to do one stop and we knew we could go<br />
all the way so when that caution came out it kind of came out exactly where we kind of planned.  </p>
<p>Came down pit road, took<br />
the four tires, came back for fuel and made some big swings at it and was just hoping it was going to be enough.  When he<br />
fired off back racing he was running his fastest time like every tenth lap.  I knew we had a good truck.  At this point it was<br />
just a little tight off but it was free rolling the center better than any truck here and I could see that so I told Timothy<br />
(Peters), &#8216;If you take your time and get to the lead I really feel confident we could win this thing.&#8217;  He did the rest.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>TOM DeLOACH, team owner, No. 1 Strutmasters Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing</p>
<p>How happy are you for your race team?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m thrilled with these guys.  It was a real pleasure for me to get to know Timothy (Peters), get to see the passion and the<br />
drive in this guy.  Many of you don&#8217;t know &#8212; Timothy comes down to our shop every day.  He is there in the shop every<br />
day working on his truck and T.J.&#8217;s (Bell) truck.  You don&#8217;t see that in drivers today.  You tell me any other driver that is<br />
going into any shop and participating with the guys building those trucks.  It doesn&#8217;t exist and that&#8217;s what is so special about<br />
this guy.  He can get out there, he can get up on the wheel, he can race hard but he&#8217;s one of the team.  </p>
<p>And you keep saying there&#8217;s no I in team, well there&#8217;s a little bit of me in team and Timothy (Peters) is the me in that team.  He gets out there and he gets it done.  He works together with these guys.  He and Chad (Kendrick) have a special relationship.  Sometimes you hear them fussing at each other and you think it&#8217;s two brothers about to get in a fight but that&#8217;s just the way it is.  They<br />
communicate that way and it works and you see the relationship and it&#8217;s just really pleasing to me to see this thing kind of<br />
come to fruition at a track like this.  We were here in 2006 with David Starr.  It was a thrilling time then and I&#8217;ve got to tell<br />
you, there&#8217;s something about a win &#8212; you go three years because you&#8217;re looking for that next win &#8211; and when I ran into this<br />
guy I knew we&#8217;d get a win.  The question was when not where.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>TODD BODINE, No. 30 Lumber Liquidators Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 2nd</p>
<p><strong>How was your race today?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was pretty good.  We struggled a little bit in practice.  Of course the first practice was shortened. (Mike Hillman) Jr. (crew<br />
chief) made some really good calls and made some good calls there at the second practice and we adjusted during the race and<br />
got pretty good.  Got a little track position, saved some fuel.  The Lumber Liquidators Tundra was decent.  I tell you, though,<br />
for Timmy (Peters).  He&#8217;s such a good racer and such a good kid.  It&#8217;s about time he gets to victory lane.  One other thing I<br />
want to say is that the pink helmet I had for breast cancer awareness month pay attention to EBay because it&#8217;s going to go on<br />
there after Talladega.  We&#8217;re trying to raise money for a great cause.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How did your truck handle during the race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We had a great Tundra.  This Lumber Liquidators Tundra was really good.  We struggled a little the first practice.  We got<br />
the thing to turn through the middle of the corner.  That&#8217;s what you&#8217;ve got to have at Martinsville.  Be able to turn and get<br />
good forward bite and we were.  At the end of the race we got a little tight in the middle.  I had to use it up a little more than I<br />
wanted to coming through traffic.  When Ron (Hornaday) and (Mike) Skinner and those guys got behind me I knew I had to<br />
go then.  I couldn&#8217;t wait and I burned it up a little bit.  It was a great day.  A top-five here from what we we&#8217;ve had this year,<br />
we&#8217;ll take it and go with it.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Did you feel like you had a race-winning truck today?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m really tickled to see Timmy (Peters) win.  He&#8217;s such a good kid.  He&#8217;s a great racer. I had a good Lumber Liquidators<br />
Tundra.  I had to use it up a little more than I wanted coming back through the pack.  I was doing pretty good taking my time.<br />
Ron (Hornaday) and Mike (Skinner) and those guys got up behind me and then I had to go and I had to use it up and beat the<br />
right-front up a little more than I wanted to.  We got to the end barely.  I think another 10 laps and Colin (Braun) probably<br />
would&#8217;ve got us but we had a good run.  The guys worked hard.  We weren&#8217;t that good in the first practice but we made some<br />
great changes for the second one and we dialed it in fairly good.  We didn&#8217;t know what we had.  We made a couple changes<br />
for the race.  It was a pretty good day all in all.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What was the difference today compared to finishes at Martinsville in the past?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Better luck.  We ran really well in the spring.  I think we were running second and got a flat tire, had to go to the back, came<br />
all the way to fourth with the green-white checker and got spun out going into three on the last lap and crashed.  We&#8217;ve had a<br />
lot of bad luck here but we&#8217;ve run really well too.  We just came up a little short again.  You&#8217;re right.  The family legacy here,<br />
I&#8217;ve got to get a grandfather clock before I&#8217;m done that&#8217;s for sure to be the only three brothers to ever win here.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>DENNY HAMLIN, No. 51 Miccosukee Resorts Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  6th</p>
<p><strong>DAVID STARR, No. 24 Zachry Toyota Tundra, HT Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 8th</p>
<p><strong>TERRY COOK, No. 25 Cajun Industries Toyota Tundra, HT Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 10th</p>
<p><strong>How was your race today?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;The Harris Trucking Cajun Industries Toyota Tundra was pretty good all day.  This is probably one of the better trucks<br />
we&#8217;ve ever had here at Martinsville.  Worked track position early but then we realized the competition was coming and it<br />
was time to get tires.  And probably waited just a tick too long to get tires and lost some track position.  We had a problem<br />
with the brakes at the beginning.  We were just trying to be a little aggressive with our brake package and overheated the<br />
brakes early which coincidentally late in the race made the brakes work night quite as good.  This is probably one of the<br />
better trucks that we&#8217;ve ever had here and this team has been in a little bit of a slump for the past five or six weeks so we<br />
wanted to come out here with a solid top-10 finish, we got it and it&#8217;s on to Talladega.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>TOYOTA NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS)</p>
<p>Post-Qualifying Notes &#038; Quotes</p>
<p>Martinsville Speedway &#8211; October 23, 2009</p>
<p>NOTE:  Mike Skinner recorded his 50th career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) pole Friday afternoon at<br />
Martinsville Speedway.  He will make his 200th NCWTS start Saturday at the half-mile speedway.</p>
<p>MIKE SKINNER, No. 5 PC Miler Navigator Toyota Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports</p>
<p>Starting Position: </strong> 1st</p>
<p><strong>What does it mean to have your 200th Truck Series start at Martinsville?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I ran my very first Sprint Cup race here at Martinsville.  I won a big Late Model race up here.  I have a lot of great<br />
memories up here.  It&#8217;s kind of cool that it worked out that our 200th start will end up at Martinsville.  I love this place.  It&#8217;s<br />
definitely a top-five race track that I love to race on.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Do you think this truck is capable of winning Saturday&#8217;s race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I think the truck is good.  Us and (Kevin) Harvick, and four or five other guys that are really, really good.  If we have a<br />
good pit stop and nothing crazy happens to us, I think we have a chance.  I think we have a good chance to win.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Were you happy with your qualifying run?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I really felt like I did not get the truck in the corner as good as I had done earlier and I really didn&#8217;t expect it to hold up but it<br />
did.  The truck is really, really awesome.  It&#8217;s really awesome in race trim.  It&#8217;s the Iowa truck that we ran at Iowa.  PC Miler<br />
Navigator is on board with us again this weekend and it&#8217;s kind of a milestone for us.  The 200th start deal is really no big<br />
deal.  We left the series in 1997 and never came back until 2004.  We ran a race here and there.  I don&#8217;t regret going and<br />
running in the Sprint Cup Series all of those years.  I had a lot of fun and had some success but I sure loving these trucks and I<br />
love running this Toyota truck.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>DENNY HAMLIN, No. 51 Miccosukee Resorts Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports</p>
<p>Starting Position: </strong> 4th</p>
<p><strong>BRIAN SCOTT, No. 16 Albertsons Toyota Tundra, Xpress Motorsports</p>
<p>Starting Position:</strong>  5th</p>
<p><strong>How was your qualifying lap?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s rough going first, and I&#8217;m on a streak here.  In the spring, I had to qualify first as well.  It&#8217;s definitely not an advantage to<br />
have to go that early, but I felt like we put together a pretty decent run considering.  Jeff Hensley and the guys really did an<br />
awesome job and I hope I can get a win for Toyota and get them closer to clinching that manufacturer&#8217;s championship.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>STACY COMPTON, No. 60 SafeAuto Insurance/Melling Engine Parts Toyota Tundra, Wyler Racing</p>
<p>Starting Position: </strong> 6th</p>
<p><strong>Are you happy with your qualifying effort?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I was pleased with it.  This SafeAuto/Melling Toyota was good in practice.  The best it drove.  When I ran a lap, I asked<br />
how it was and I didn&#8217;t know what to expect.  The truck has been good since we got here.  This place has always been so<br />
good to us.  It&#8217;s sort of a home town race for me.  This one means a lot to come up here and run good.  I&#8217;m pretty excited<br />
about the race.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>TODD BODINE, No. 30 Lumber Liquidators Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing</p>
<p>Starting Position:</strong>  8th</p>
<p><strong>How is your truck and how do you think weather might affect the race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re okay.  We&#8217;re not stellar by any means, just okay.  It is what it is.  We got what we got.  If we have to race after the<br />
Cup cars, the track is going to be really rubbered up and slick.  The best balanced truck will be at the front.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>TAYLER MALSAM, No. 81 One Eighty Toyota Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports</p>
<p>Starting Position: </strong> 10th</p>
<p><strong>TIMOTHY PETERS, No. 1 Strutmasters Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing</p>
<p>Starting Position: </strong> 11th</p>
<p><strong>How was your truck in practice and qualifying?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;In race trim, we have a really good Strutmasters.com Toyota.  In qualifying trim, we thought we had it there but we missed<br />
it.  It&#8217;s frustrating because obviously track position means the world here.  We&#8217;ll take what we got and hopefully at the<br />
checkered flag tomorrow, we&#8217;ll be number one.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What does this race mean to you growing up so close to Martinsville?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;This race means the world to me, just because it&#8217;s 20 minutes from home and I have had a lot of success up here.  I&#8217;m just<br />
frustrated a little bit because we should&#8217;ve been better than that.  I knew we were better than that.  But, they don&#8217;t pay<br />
anything to start, it&#8217;s where you finish.  We&#8217;ll be okay tomorrow.&#8221;</p>

But it takes so many people to get the trucks to the track week in and week out that the guys in the shop deserve a lot of the credit.  We have several employees at HT Motorsports who stay back in the shop each week and work on the next week’s race while we are gone.  They almost never get mentioned.  They are a huge help to our road guys who work hard in the shop for numerous hours and then travel on the road taking care of the truck the whole time.  It is a combination of shop employees, even the ones who book our travel, answer the phones, to the guy who builds chassis or paints for our teams.  It takes all of them to keep up the hectic schedule.”</p>
<p><strong>Lady Luck: </strong> “We need some Lady Luck on our side this weekend in Las Vegas. These past few weekends we have had some mishaps, either with accidents or with things happening on the truck, so we are focusing on making them better.  A lot of times accidents are out of my control on the race track, but driver’s reflexes have to be spot on to avoid them.  I’ve seen a lot of cautions come out right in front of me and been able to avoid them and then I’ve been on the other side as well.  So it is just staying focused and on your toes for the team and for myself, but a little help from Lady Luck wouldn’t hurt either.”</p>
<p><strong>Gambling:</strong> “I am a big gambler, love to play blackjack.  However, I don’t gamble until after the race, because if I have any luck I would much rather it be on the race track than in the casino.  So once that checkered flag falls I will play some black jack until I just have to go to bed, but I’m saving my luck for my real passion – racing.”</p>

<p>Post-Race Notes &#038; Quotes</p>
<p>New Hampshire Motor Speedway &#8211; September 19, 2009</strong></p>
<p>- Kyle Busch won in his third consecutive NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) race &#8212; and fifth of the 2009<br />
season &#8211; Saturday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.  Busch led four times for 75 of 200 laps en route to victory lane.</p>
<p>- It marks the first time since joining series competition in 2004 that a Tundra has won five consecutive races.  Busch won<br />
three races (Bristol, Chicagoland and New Hampshire) and Mike Skinner won a pair (Iowa and Gateway).</p>
<p>- Stacy Compton (sixth), Brian Scott (seventh) and Mike Skinner (eighth) also posted top-10 finishes for Toyota on<br />
Saturday at the one-mile New England oval.</p>
<p>- Tundra drivers T.J. Bell (12th), David Starr (13th), Terry Cook (16th), Timothy Peters (19th), Tayler Malsam (20th), Aric<br />
Almirola (21st), Max Papis (22nd) and Todd Bodine (24th) were also in the field.</p>
<p>- It is the 11th victory of 2009 for Toyota and 62nd since joining series competition in 2004.</p>
<p><strong>KYLE BUSCH, No. 51 Miccosukee Resort Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 1st</p>
<p><strong>How was your race today?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was a great race today.  I&#8217;m real proud of the guys and Richie (Wauters, crew chief) for working so hard on these trucks.<br />
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<br />
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<br />
were out front when it mattered and had just the right amount of fuel in order to make it.  </p>
<p>So, real close on all of that but the<br />
Miccosukee Tundra was great.  We kept up with those guys today.  We did all that we could.  We pressured them, we led a<br />
lot of laps &#8211; the best we&#8217;ve ever run here.  I was going to be alright with a second or a third.  I think that&#8217;s the truck that we<br />
had but the way it played out you&#8217;ve just got let these things play out sometimes and today we did.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Were you worried about fuel at the end of the race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Yeah, they told me we were going to be about five short and I was like, &#8216;You&#8217;ve got to be kidding me.  We just stopped<br />
and filled this thing.&#8217;  So, it barely made it.  It ran out coming into victory lane there.  Man, what an awesome Tundra this<br />
was today.  It was able to keep up with the Chevrolets at least.  I&#8217;m real proud of Richie (Wauters, crew chief) and all of<br />
these guys that work so hard on this Miccosukee Tundra to get it here.  Thank Graceway Pharmaceuticals, thank the fans,<br />
thank NOS Energy Drink and everybody that makes this program possible for us.  It&#8217;s cool, you know, you come to Loudon<br />
and you&#8217;ve got five race divisions or whatever it is in one weekend and they&#8217;ve still got another one left to go here tonight.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Are you excited to have won here at Loudon in all three NASCAR divisions?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s cool, man.  That&#8217;s something special.  We look to do that everywhere we go but we&#8217;ve been fortunate enough to<br />
have good race trucks like we&#8217;ve had this year.  I don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s wrong with the right front tire but it was vibrating and<br />
shaking the last 60 laps.  We barely made it there.  I was waiting to get run over there on that last restart.  I&#8217;m glad I was out<br />
front being the one that was being chased instead of being the guy that had to chase the others.  It was fun.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Were you able to run a lot of laps on the tires today?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We sure did but with 60 to go my right front started vibrating and shaking.  I don&#8217;t know if it was the brakes or the tires or<br />
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<br />
through that but we did.  A lot of good things came out of today and I&#8217;m real proud of these guys.  They had good pit stops<br />
today.  Our fuel mileage, we might need another mathematician if anybody out there wants to come out there and work for<br />
us we&#8217;ll certainly take a look.  We were too close to call today.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Is it more interesting when it&#8217;s a two on one battle?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Yeah, it was a battle there.  It was a battle from lap one coming out of turn 2 with (Mike) Skinner.  Really, it&#8217;s a hard<br />
fought race track.  It&#8217;s real hard to pass for these trucks for some reason &#8211; they get aero sensitive behind other trucks.  For<br />
me, that&#8217;s how (Ron) Hornaday got by me.  I got in traffic a little bit and slowed down.  He kept going.  He had a better<br />
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<br />
and we&#8217;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<br />
probably needed about four and a half to be a little bit safer but we made it.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How thankful were you for the final caution?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I think we would&#8217;ve been close.  How many laps was the caution? Three?  It was a three-lap caution.  I was backing off<br />
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<br />
back to those guys behind me.  It would&#8217;ve been hard for them to get by me anyways.  We saw that after the restart so I was<br />
trying to save as much as I could a little bit in order to make it.  </p>
<p>Fortunately, we didn&#8217;t have to find out.  We did have that<br />
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<br />
made it and made enough to run a cool down lap, do a mini burnout because I didn&#8217;t know if I could do a burnout or not<br />
with the motor rule the way it is and then on the way driving into victory lane it ran out.  It was pretty close.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Were you surprised that Ron Hornaday and Kevin Harvick couldn&#8217;t gain on you more?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;In that last run, yeah.  I thought the 2 (Kevin Harvick) might have been better than the 33 (Ron Hornaday) and he might<br />
have got by and gone for the win.  But (Kevin) Harvick is protecting points so he finished behind the 33 (Ron Hornaday) I<br />
believe and protected those five points from (Ron) Hornaday dropping back or somebody else coming forward.  That&#8217;s what<br />
he&#8217;s here to do.  </p>
<p>He&#8217;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&#8217;t care.<br />
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&#8217;m<br />
glad I didn&#8217;t have to race (Kevin) Harvick because I felt like he had the better tires and the better truck.  He did what he<br />
needed to do to try to win himself and his team a championship.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>RICHIE WAUTERS, crew chief, No. 51 Miccosukee Resort Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports</p>
<p>What are your thoughts on the win?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was a great win.  It&#8217;s always nice to have Kyle (Busch) driving the truck of course.  He does a great job.  At the end<br />
there we took that four seconds of fuel and we&#8217;d been figuring all day on the fuel mileage and we&#8217;re two-tenths that we&#8217;re<br />
leaving to the safe side so we knew we had a little bit but we quite didn&#8217;t get in as much as we thought we did on the fuel<br />
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<br />
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<br />
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 -<br />
one he got out back in the clean air &#8211; to stay out front.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>STACY COMPTON, No. 60 SafeAuto Insurance Toyota Tundra, Wyler Racing</p>
<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  6th</p>
<p><strong>Are you happy with a top-10 finish today?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;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<br />
on the last lap.  That&#8217;s Johnny (Sauter) for you.  It&#8217;s a shame.  We had a good truck and great pit stops.  Marcus (Richmond<br />
II, crew chief) made good calls all day.  We&#8217;ll take it.  We just need to keep doing stuff like this and building on it.  We ran<br />
top-seven all day.  We got shuffled back one time when some guys did some pit strategy.  It was a good day for us.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>BRIAN SCOTT, No. 16 Toyota Tundra, Xpress Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  7th</p>
<p><strong>Are you happy with your run today?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;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<br />
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<br />
everything we could to get it up and we just weren&#8217;t good enough with the front end damage.  All in all, I think we sacrificed a<br />
decent finish out of it and I guess we&#8217;ll bring our Tundra to Vegas and try to have a better run.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>MIKE SKINNER, No. 5 Exide Toyota Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  8th</p>
<p><strong>How was your race today?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;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<br />
in race trim I thought it was pretty good.  I don&#8217;t really know exactly what happened &#8211; it just got tighter and tighter and<br />
tighter.  And we expected the race track to get tighter, we just missed the setup on it.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>T.J. BELL, No. 11 Red Horse Racing Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing</p>
<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  12th</p>
<p><strong>DAVID STARR, No. 24 Zachry Toyota Tundra, HT Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 13th</p>
<p><strong>TERRY COOK, No. 25 Cajun Industries Toyota Tundra, HT Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 16th</p>
<p><strong>TIMOTHY PETERS, No. 17 Strutmasters Toyota Tundra, Red Horse Racing</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 19th</p>
<p><strong>TAYLER MALSAM, No. 81 One Eighty Toyota Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 20th</p>
<p><strong>ARIC ALMIROLA, No. 15 Graceway Pharmaceuticals Toyota Tundra, Billy Ballew Motorsports</p>
<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 21st</p>
<p><strong>MAX PAPIS, No. 9 GEICO Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing</p>
<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  22nd</p>
<p><strong>TODD BODINE, No. 30 Lumber Liquidators Toyota Tundra, Germain Racing</p>
<p>Finishing Position:  </strong>24th</p>
<p><strong>What happened to take you out of the race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t remember this ever happening to a Tundra for a long time.  A fuel pump quit.  The whole fuel pressure stopped<br />
running.  Very, very unusual but that&#8217;s the story of our season to this point.  If it wasn&#8217;t for bad luck we wouldn&#8217;t have any.<br />
I&#8217;m really disappointed for Lumber Liquidators.  </p>
<p>Coming back onboard and this is Tom Sullivan&#8217;s home area growing up in<br />
New England.  We wanted to give him a good run and we thought we could have our old magic back in that yellow truck.<br />
We were running great, just a few laps and we were up to ninth already.  The truck was really good.  It turned the center<br />
corner good, good forward bite and it was handling good.  We had a good truck, that&#8217;s the upside.  The downside is it&#8217;s<br />
sitting here.&#8221;</p>

<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  1st</p>
<p><strong>How good does it feel to win tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;This one only took us a couple of hours, the last one took three days.  I&#8217;ll tell you, this Tundra, Jon Dysinger (engine<br />
builder) and those guys up there at Triad, they do such a fantastic job.  This team, David Dollar (co-owner, Randy Moss<br />
Motorsports), Randy Moss (co-owner, Randy Moss Motorsports) you better call me!  It was just awesome.  Toyota of Des<br />
Moines, Exide Batteries, PC Miler Navigator folks are up here tonight and they were nice enough to help out Tayler<br />
(Malsam) on his truck.  Man, that was awesome.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Was your truck as dominate as it looked tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I tell you, all I did tonight was ride on a thoroughbred.  I think I hurt Eric&#8217;s (Phillips, crew chief) feelings a little bit<br />
yesterday because we took an old backup truck that our teammate gave us that Jeff Hensley and I actually built a couple of<br />
years ago and it was faster than this truck and I was struggling to not keep that truck out and race it.  And Eric (Phillips,<br />
crew chief) said, &#8216;Just work with me.  </p>
<p>Just give me a chance and I&#8217;ll fix this thing and get it going.&#8217;  He went in there and he<br />
started building shocks and he really, really won this race.  The driver screwed up on pit road but the crew chief did a<br />
fantastic job with the truck.  Man, it drove good.  All of the adjustments and everything was just really, really good.  We<br />
struggled on pit road this year a lot and tonight they were flawless.  The only flaw they had was the driver and we overcame<br />
it.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How important was your win tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Every win is important.  Probably one of the proudest moments in my whole racing career other than the first ever points<br />
race at Phoenix where we had to pass Terry Labonte sideways on the last corner to win, the Bristol trophy stands out -<br />
that&#8217;s huge.  I&#8217;ve got a trophy at Daytona that&#8217;s huge, but we&#8217;ve been very, very blessed in our career to get the first of<br />
things.  We won the first championship, we won the first points race and tonight we won the first race at Iowa.  </p>
<p>We&#8217;ve just been very, very blessed with being able to do that.  I&#8217;m all for adding some more new tracks.  This is pretty cool.  Really,<br />
I&#8217;m all for coming back to Iowa two or three times.  I just love this place.  We came up here and tested a couple years ago<br />
before they banned the testing policy and we were just really, really fast.  We took that truck to Kentucky and didn&#8217;t really<br />
do anything to it and won the race.  So I knew when we came back to Iowa this style of track suits my driving style.<br />
Obviously it suits Eric (Phillips, crew chief).  He did a fantastic job setting the truck up.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Were you out of gas at the end of the race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Well, the motor died coming off of (turn) four there.  I don&#8217;t know if it was a pick up thing or vapor lock or what it did.  It<br />
just quit and it quit off of (turn) two and then it quit off of (turn) four.  The pressure went all the way down.  I think it might<br />
have boiled some fuel or something.  I just nursed her along there and this thing was so fast through the corner it didn&#8217;t<br />
matter what it was doing on the straightaway.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How did you feel on the final restart?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I was really, really nervous.  I started the race in the same place all night and I figured the competition would be thinking,<br />
&#8216;Well, he&#8217;s going to change it up.  He&#8217;s going to do something different.&#8217;  So I started it in the same place.  Sometimes the<br />
biggest surprise is no surprise.  We got a really good restart and we came off of (turn) two over there and got back around<br />
there and I came off of four and the thing ran out of gas and I looked at the gauge and the fuel pressure was at zero and the<br />
thing picked back up.  I shook it around a little bit.  </p>
<p>I yelled at Eric (Phillips, crew chief) and said, &#8216;I think we&#8217;re out of gas,<br />
we&#8217;re out of gas!&#8217; He&#8217;s like, &#8216;Well just keep going.  What do you want me to do about it?&#8217;  It picked back up and she made<br />
it back around and had enough left for a burnout.  So it obviously wasn&#8217;t out of gas.  Maybe it vapor locked or got hot or<br />
something.  Maybe my nerves got some air in it, I&#8217;m not sure.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>ERIC PHILLIPS, crew chief, No. 5 Toyota of Des Moines Tundra, Randy Moss Motorsports</p>
<p>What did you think of Mike Skinner&#8217;s win tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I knew we had a good truck yesterday.  Like Mike (Skinner) said, he liked that other truck but we&#8217;ve run this truck a lot.<br />
It&#8217;s been really good to us.  It seems to be really good in race mode and I told him to just stick with me and we&#8217;d work on it.<br />
And we did make it a lot better.  All of my guys did a good job.  I knew we had a good truck last night.  I&#8217;ve been about half<br />
sick today, it seems like it&#8217;s been so long with the race starting at nine.  I&#8217;m just really proud of all of the guys on this<br />
Tundra and Mike (Skinner) and everybody working on this thing all weekend.&#8221;</p>

<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  2nd</p>
<p><strong>Can you talk about your run tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was a weird night.  We weren&#8217;t very good either in practice yesterday and my guys worked really, really hard.  They<br />
were dirty from head to toe, covered in grease and everything else yesterday.  We changed everything but the driver and just<br />
couldn&#8217;t find any speed.  We went pretty much back to how we unloaded and fired off today and we were really good.  Not<br />
really sure what we were fighting there yesterday but our Graceway Pharmaceuticals Toyota was real good today.  We<br />
struggled a little bit in the pits tonight but thankfully enough this tire was hard enough that we could take two tires there at<br />
the end and we held on for second.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How does it feel to earn your career best finish in this series?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It feels good.  I&#8217;ve run in the truck series quite a bit and to not get any better finishes than this is obviously a little<br />
disappointing.  To be able to come home second, and that is a career best, I&#8217;m proud of that.  I&#8217;m proud of all my guys and<br />
I&#8217;m proud of Billy Ballew Motorsports.  It seems like we&#8217;ve run really well.  We&#8217;ve run top-five I think six or seven of the<br />
last eight or nine races that we&#8217;ve run.  </p>
<p>We&#8217;re always up front.  We&#8217;re always running good.  It&#8217;s a lot of fun and I enjoy<br />
racing when you can race like that.  I want to thank Billy Ballew a lot for the opportunity that he&#8217;s given me.  Man, we&#8217;re<br />
just so close and if we keep running like this and if we keep putting ourselves in contention to win races and we can see the<br />
front eventually it will happen.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How were your pit stops tonight?</strong><br />
&#8220;Our first stop was pretty bad and we just lost so much track position.  I knew we had to get it back.  I told Doug (George,<br />
crew chief) we had to get it back somehow, someway so we took two tires.  That was a great call on Doug&#8217;s (George, crew<br />
chief) part to get us back up there.  I just want to thank Graceway Pharmaceuticals for coming back onboard this weekend.<br />
Billy Ballew (team owner) is just trying everything he can to get this race truck to the race track every single weekend and<br />
Graceway Pharmaceuticals stepped up big for us.  I just want to thank them and thank these fans.  What an awesome race<br />
track and the fans here are just awesome and so enthusiastic.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Did you think you had a shot to pass Mike Skinner on the final restart?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;No.  Obviously the thought crosses your mind.  You don&#8217;t ever give up on yourself or your race team.  So anytime you&#8217;re<br />
running second with five to go you&#8217;d think that you&#8217;d like to have a shot to win the race, but man (Mike) Skinner was<br />
unbelievable tonight.  His truck was really good.  It turned really good.  He had good forward bite and our truck just wasn&#8217;t<br />
good enough to do that.  If we made it turn good, it would turn too good.  And if we snugged it up it wouldn&#8217;t turn good<br />
enough.  We really were on a razorblade tonight as far as trying to get our truck to handle the way we wanted it to.  It would<br />
just go from loose to tight and we could never get a happy medium.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>How was your race tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;After the way we started off the weekend, we&#8217;ll take eleventh.  We made a lot of gains from where we were during<br />
practice yesterday and I actually thought we have a good shot at a top-ten finish here.  But we just got really tight whenever<br />
we were in traffic.  I couldn&#8217;t get up behind anyone and get a run on him because we lost the nose and pushed up the track.<br />
It was really bad in turns three and four.  But it was a good points night for us, we gained points on just about everyone<br />
we&#8217;re battling in the standings.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;I went down into turn one that lap and felt contact in the left rear quarter panel.  I tried to catch it but it shot up the track.  We<br />
made some pretty good contact with the wall and tore the truck up.  I&#8217;m okay, just a little upset.  We&#8217;re trying to get up and<br />
finish in the top five in the points and the past two weeks have hurt.  We&#8217;re disappointed but we aren&#8217;t going to give up.<br />
We&#8217;re going to regroup and head to St. Louis and try to win that race and turn our momentum around.&#8221;</p>

<p>Chicagoland Speedway &#8212; August 28, 2009</strong></p>
<p>- Tundra driver Kyle Busch captured the checkered flag in tonight&#8217;s inaugural NCWTS race at Chicagoland Speedway.<br />
It was the fourth NCWTS win of the season for Busch.  Earlier this year he picked up NCWTS wins at California, Atlanta<br />
and Bristol.</p>
<p>- It was the eighth NCWTS win of the 2009 season for Toyota and the 59th win for Toyota since the beginning of the 2004<br />
NCWTS season.</p>
<p>- Tundra driver Todd Bodine finished second &#8212; his seventh top-10 finish of the 2009 season.</p>
<p>- Busch (79 laps) and Bodine (39 laps) combined to lead 118 of the 150 laps in tonight&#8217;s race.</p>
<p>- Busch has now won Sprint Cup Series, Nationwide Series and Camping World Truck Series races at Chicagoland.</p>

<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 1st</p>
<p><strong>How special is this win tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s pretty cool, man.  This is awesome to come out here with a brand new piece.  Thank all these guys from Billy Ballew<br />
Motorsports &#8212; the pit crew did a good job tonight.  I really want to thank the fans, Miccosukee, Tundra, Toyota &#8212; all those<br />
guys that do such an awesome job for us &#8212; Gillette, Marquis Jets.  Richie (Wauters, crew chief) made a good pit call there<br />
in the beginning of the race to take tires when we did.  Luckily, they had that long green flag run.  We made it look like we<br />
knew what we were doing and that long run just hurt everybody else &#8212; got them behind (Ron) Hornaday, Jr., &#8212; he was a<br />
good truck tonight.  The 88 (Matt Crafton) was a good truck tonight, too.  The right pit strategy kept us up front there.  We<br />
had a little trouble coming through traffic sometimes, but once you get up front in clean air &#8212; the thing just takes off.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How did you make the pass on the late restart?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;The pass on the restart I just had to make sure that I got a good restart when I got a good run on him (Todd Bodine) down<br />
on the bottom-side &#8212; I just had to stay there.  I just had to keep going.  Even if he pinched me into turn three, I was going to<br />
have to keep my nose in there because that was the only position I had on him &#8212; I had to keep my position.  He raced me<br />
great.  (Todd) Bodine did a great job &#8212; helped Toyota get a win here.  He was a fast truck, too &#8212; but we kept them Fords<br />
back there.  Hopefully, we can do it again.&#8221;</p>
<p><div class="imagecaptioneasy imagecaptioneasy_ft size-medium wp-image-22727" style="auto;"><a href="http://www.catchfence.com/2009/truckseries/08/29/toyota-nascar-camping-world-truck-series-chicagoland-post-race-notes-quotes/attachment/kylebuschwinsenjoy225/" rel="attachment wp-att-22727"><img src="http://www.catchfence.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/KyleBuschWinsEnjoy225-280x173.jpg" alt="Kyle Busch wins the EnjoyIllinois.com 225" title="Kyle Busch wins the EnjoyIllinois.com 225" width="280" height="173" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-22727" /></a><br style="clear:both" /><div style="margin:0px;max-width:280px;">Kyle Busch wins the EnjoyIllinois.com 225</div></div><strong>How was your truck throughout the race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was a really good night for us.  The Miccosukee Tundra was pretty good.  We were real proud of the way that we<br />
brought a brand new truck here out of the box.  We were dragging in practice a little bit.  We had to work through a few<br />
things to get the truck off the race track.  It still was hitting during the race &#8212; just brushing the race track a little bit.  We&#8217;re<br />
going to take it home, work on it a little bit, polish it up and get it ready for the next one.  Richie (Wauters, crew chief) and<br />
Billy (Ballew, team owner) and all these guys work so hard &#8212; they do a great job with not a lot.  Real proud of the effort we<br />
had here &#8212; a fun night, overall.  </p>
<p>The pit strategy worked to our advantage &#8212; I think with 20 laps into the race, or something<br />
like that &#8212; I thought it was early to get tires, but we decided to get them.  Then we went a long run there.  I think we went<br />
80 laps or something green and it really paid to our side &#8212; I didn&#8217;t think it would, but it did.  We had a strong truck.  We just<br />
had to make sure we kept the right tires on it and kept the right adjustments in it and got the thing up towards the front there.<br />
So, real proud of the way the thing drove out front.  It was a little loose in traffic, but fortunately we were able to make it<br />
through the traffic okay.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>What allowed you to make the pass on the late restart?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I knew I needed a long run.  If I could have had a long run, I felt like I could get by him.  If I could have got it done in the<br />
first couple laps of a restart, then I knew it would be easier.  I just figured that if I could get a good restart  &#8212; which I really<br />
didn&#8217;t get that great of a restart &#8212; I got through turns one and two really good, you could hold it wide open for the first few<br />
laps after a restart.  </p>
<p>I got a good run through (turns) one and two &#8212; sort of drafted up off him a little bit, pulled low down the<br />
back straightaway and got just enough alongside of him that it broke his momentum a little bit and I was able to get him to<br />
give me room getting into turn three.  If he (Todd Bodine) didn&#8217;t give me room it might have gotten a little ugly, but we made<br />
it work.  So, Todd (Bodine) was very gracious and a great racer there &#8212; and spared the day for Toyota to finish one-two.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How does it feel to have won in all three NASCAR series at Chicagoland?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s definitely an accomplishment.  I love being able to win races in anything, anywhere &#8212; and I don&#8217;t know if this is my<br />
fifth venue, or what that I&#8217;ve done it at.  I&#8217;ve got Phoenix done.  I&#8217;ve got California done.  There are five &#8212; I can&#8217;t name<br />
them all.  But, I&#8217;m trying for more.  So, hopefully we can get some more in there.  I&#8217;d love to be able to get a sweep at every<br />
place that I&#8217;ve been to &#8212; time will tell that &#8212; hopefully down the road.  It&#8217;s cool to win here in Chicago.  My parents are<br />
from just outside (Chicago) in the suburbs.  They grew up around this area.  My girlfriend is from around here &#8212; just across<br />
the border in Indiana.  So, it&#8217;s really cool to sort of come to this second home in the Midwest and win in front of all the<br />
family and friends here.&#8221;</p>

<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 2nd</p>
<p><strong>What happened on the late race restart and the pass for the lead?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;When Kyle (Busch) got by me I got too good a restart.  Got some space in between us and it&#8217;s a lot like Daytona racing<br />
and he got a draft on me and drafted past me.  I should have thought of that.  It&#8217;s my own fault.  We had a better truck than<br />
he (Kyle Busch) had &#8212; that&#8217;s the way it goes.  This Ventrilo Tundra was still really good.  It wasn&#8217;t that good to start.  We<br />
made some great adjustments and got it handling real good.  I could run wide-open when I was by myself.  That&#8217;s how you<br />
go fast around here.  Unfortunately, Kyle (Busch) got in front of me.&#8221;</p>

<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 1st</p>
<p><strong>What makes you so strong at Bristol Motor Speedway?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I love this place.  It&#8217;s fun for all of us drivers.  It&#8217;s a fun place to race and for some reason I have really taken to the new<br />
surface.  I love the old surface, I love the new one.  I really have to thank Miccosukee, Toyota, NOS Energy Drink, the fans<br />
- great fans for coming out on a Wednesday night.  Luckily, we have a day off tomorrow.  The fans don&#8217;t &#8211; they have to go<br />
over to Bristol Speed Street and have some fun over there.  Thank Gillette, Marquis Jets and everybody else that makes this<br />
program possible.  Billy Ballew for putting Richie (Wauters, crew chief) and I back together.  We knew we were going to<br />
come here with a fast truck &#8211; we&#8217;ve been fast every time we&#8217;ve been here.  It was exciting to be able to capitalize like that<br />
tonight.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How will this win help you in the Nationwide and Sprint Cup races at Bristol this weekend?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It just gets the momentum going and tells you that you can do it.  You finish second, fifth, 10th, whatever &#8211; third in<br />
Nationwide and truck series races and you can&#8217;t win on the Cup side.  It&#8217;s like, man, it&#8217;s a downer, it&#8217;s a downer and you<br />
don&#8217;t feel very good about yourself.  I&#8217;m my self&#8217;s biggest critic.  This definitely helps out and gets me back in the right<br />
mindset and gets me back in the right frame.  </p>
<p>I love coming to Bristol anyway in the fall.  I always run well here.  I&#8217;m<br />
looking forward to the Nationwide race &#8211; we should have won five in a row on that side, but we&#8217;ve had pit issues or<br />
miscues by myself or whatever.  We&#8217;ll get back on it.  I want to say congrats to Matt Crafton &#8211; even though he finished<br />
second to me and (Ron) Hornaday was third it really didn&#8217;t gain him any points.  He&#8217;s trying to get up there and get those<br />
guys &#8211; we&#8217;re trying to get the owner&#8217;s deal, but unfortunately one-two-three in points were one-two-three tonight.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Were you confident that you had enough fuel to make it on only the one pit stop?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We did this last year and we made it so I wasn&#8217;t really concerned.  Richie (Wauters, crew chief) and these guys do a good<br />
job at that and the Toyota guys get awesome fuel mileage for us.  We&#8217;ve seen Dennis Setzer make it 200 laps at Mansfield<br />
one time and this place is bigger than that &#8211; carries a lot more speed and a lot more throttle.  We were just able to conserve<br />
what we needed and obviously there was enough for a burnout and everything.  Hopefully, the fans enjoyed that and we&#8217;ll<br />
be able to take this on and hopefully go out the rest of the year and win a few more.  Hopefully we can sweep this<br />
weekend.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How special is your chemistry with this race team?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I love Billy (Ballew, owner) to death and all these guys.  Doug (George, 15 crew chief) and all the guys on the 15 (Aric<br />
Almirola) truck this weekend, all the guys that were with me earlier this year on the 51.  It&#8217;s just amazing &#8211; the guys at the<br />
shop do a great job working on these things and building them and making them what we need them to be.  Unfortunately,<br />
the 15 (Almirola) didn&#8217;t have the night they were looking for, but we certainly did and we&#8217;re proud of that.  </p>
<p>Of course, the 88 (Matt Crafton) and the 33 (Ron Hornaday) were battling for point and they finished right behind us.  Matt (Crafton), he didn&#8217;t gain any ground on the 33 (Hornaday) so unfortunately for those guys, they have to go another week.  Hopefully we can too and we can get a couple more wins.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How was your race overall tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was a good night for us.  I&#8217;m really proud of the whole Miccosukee Toyota team, they did a great job.  It&#8217;s hard to come<br />
out here every week and race with minimal guys, but we try to do it and we do the best we can.  Real proud of all the guys<br />
that we had today &#8211; I worked them to death in practice.  I didn&#8217;t really think we had a great truck.  It was close, it was about<br />
the same as what we had last year &#8211; just a few minor differences so we just tried to improve on that a little bit.  Throughout<br />
the race there in the first little bit, we started coming forward &#8211; we started using the top and kind of snookered guys.  We<br />
were the first ones up there and the first ones to make it work.  </p>
<p>I got up to the lead and then pitted &#8211; we had to pass a couple more guys that didn&#8217;t pit &#8211; the 17 (Timothy Peters), the 16 (Brian Scott) and the 23 (Jason White) &#8211; he was a battle and that was fun.  Jason White, he&#8217;s a close friend of Denny&#8217;s (Hamlin) and a friend of mine and he was having a moment there so it was a battle for sure.  He was tough and he had a good truck.  I&#8217;m proud of those guys too &#8211; they had a good truck.  Jason (White) did a good job with what he had to do.  Unfortunately, there he had to pit and he wasn&#8217;t on quite the right pit strategy, but from there we made it work.  I thought (Matt) Crafton was coming, but he couldn&#8217;t get me on the long run. Our truck was good and it just kept ticking and kept going.  I&#8217;m just real proud of how well it ran tonight.&#8221;</p>
<p>From a point&#8217;s perspective, how does tonight&#8217;s race compare to what the Nationwide and Cup races will be like for you?<br />
&#8220;You&#8217;re 90 percent right over here, there&#8217;s still another 10 percent that we are trying to chase in points to get the owner&#8217;s<br />
deal.  We can take risks a lot more here than we can anywhere else.  Nationwide stuff &#8211; we&#8217;ve got a good point lead, but<br />
you&#8217;re never comfortable.  You just have to keep ticking and keep plugging away.  </p>
<p>We&#8217;ve been fast every time we&#8217;ve been<br />
here the past few times in the Nationwide car &#8211; we just haven&#8217;t put it all together.  We need a good, solid night on Friday<br />
night to put it all together to try to win this thing.  We can be fast and we have the cars capable of winning, we just haven&#8217;t<br />
been able to produce the result.  On Saturday night we&#8217;ve been really good here in the Cup cars too.  Again, we&#8217;ll just try to<br />
work on the car to the best we can to make it good.  I&#8217;ve never really qualified well here in that car so if we qualify in the<br />
back and then work our way up towards the front &#8211; hopefully our car will be good on the long run &#8211; that&#8217;s what we need.<br />
Then we can capitalize on a strong run here &#8211; we need a top-five.  If we finish in the top-five these next three races then<br />
we&#8217;ll make the &#8216;Chase.&#8217;  If we can do that then we&#8217;ll be okay.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>How does this win help you heading into the next three Cup races?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I think the win does help because it just sets the tone for the weekend.  It kind of gives myself a little momentum rolling<br />
back into this deal.  I&#8217;ve been frustrated lately thinking it&#8217;s been me that haven&#8217;t been able to win races and when you can<br />
get a vehicle that&#8217;s capable of winning and you win with it &#8211; it shows that you still have it and you can still do it.  I had a<br />
late model race after Indy that I won &#8211; I had a good car.  I had a late model race just this past week that I was running up<br />
front and we broke and then tonight we won.  </p>
<p>the past few weeks have been good &#8211; we&#8217;ve been getting better on the Cup<br />
side.  I feel like we have the opportunity to win these next three.  Atlanta might be a little bit tough because the competition<br />
has really caught up to us here as of late.  Last year we finished first and fifth there and this spring we ran 19th, three laps<br />
down.  It definitely changed a lot this spring and we need to get back to a little bit more of something that we did last year<br />
and try to finish fifth.  Just take a fifth and get out there and go to Richmond where we, for some reason, knock on wood,<br />
seem to run well there so I love going there.&#8221;</p>

<p>Finishing Position: </strong> 5th</p>
<p><strong>How much fun was it to race against Ryan Newman in the closing laps?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;That was a lot of fun to be able to race a Cup veteran like that and race him hard.  For him to show me respect and for me<br />
to rough him up a little bit and still have good respect between us.  It was a good night for our Albertson&#8217;s Tundra.  A fun<br />
night here at Bristol &#8211; it&#8217;s fun racing under the lights and it&#8217;s fun racing hard like that.  I&#8217;ll do that everyday of the week.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Were you able to use the second groove during the race?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;The second groove was really good early and I was really good on it early, but then it just went away from me.  It just<br />
disappeared &#8211; we didn&#8217;t have enough front grip to keep it turning.  It took away a lot of the ability to pass and run fast, but<br />
still a good night.&#8221;</p>

<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  6th</p>
<p><strong>How was your race truck tonight?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It was pretty good.  I don&#8217;t know if we had a bad set of tires in practice or what, but we started the race way, way too loose.<br />
I was just hanging on for dear life.  These guys worked really, really hard in the pits and they made a lot of changes.  We<br />
came down pit road a lot and gave up a lot of track position, but they got the truck driving a lot better and it turned out to be<br />
a decent night for us.&#8221;</p>

<p>Finishing Position:</strong>  7th</p>
<p><strong>How was your race truck today?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Our Zachry Toyota Tundra was pretty awesome today.  When our backs are up against the walls, we just keep fighting and<br />
keep digging.  We weren&#8217;t very good during practice and in second practice we weren&#8217;t very good, but we just stayed on<br />
our game plan.  Everybody just worked hard and we never gave up.  We battled back from adversity and got a decent finish<br />
of seventh.  When the race started I felt like we were anywhere from a 15th to a 20th-place truck.  </p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter where you start &#8211; it&#8217;s how you finish.  We fought all the way to the end.  It just shows you the character of this racing team and the attitude, the morale &#8211; they just never give up.  Everybody just keeps a smile on their race and they keep digging even when we have our backs up against the wall.  I can&#8217;t say enough about this race team.  We didn&#8217;t get what we wanted &#8211; we wanted to win, but we got a decent finish to keep us in the championship points so we&#8217;ll take it.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>How was your race truck tonight?</strong><br />
&#8220;It was really good &#8211; our Toyota Tundra was awesome.  I just wish I could have communicated with the guys a little bit better.<br />
It&#8217;s hard to give them hand signals for loose-in and tight-off so I had to pick one and we tightened it up a little bit.  It kind of<br />
hurt us, but all in all for the circumstances and way this year has gone I am really happy with Red Horse Racing Tundra<br />
tonight.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>What happened that caused your early accident?</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We missed the set-up pretty good and it was really loose.  I tried to conserve a little bit and save the tires.  The leaders<br />
started coming so I had to get going.  The guys in front of me were racing pretty hard.  I finally got under Tayler Malsam<br />
and we were so loose &#8211; he pinched me down and sucked me around.  Believe it or not &#8211; you get sucked around at Bristol.<br />
But I got loose and I got into him &#8211; it was my fault.  It wasn&#8217;t anything that Tayler (Malsam) did wrong at all.  We just<br />
missed the set-up.&#8221;</p>

Bristol is hard to pass on and if you get caught on pit road and lose your track position then sometimes it is almost impossible to pass to get those lost positions back.  So in Bristol the pressure is not only on for the driver to keep his fenders in tack, and stay on his toes to what is going on in front of him, but also on the pit crew to really crank out a fast pit stop to keep that position for the driver on the track.”</p>
<p><strong>Mentally Prepared:</strong> “I have to make sure I am mentally prepared for this race.  Bristol is so fast.  You go around the track in about 15 seconds and things happen fast in front of you.  If you are not watching or able to react quickly, you will be right in the middle of it.  The key to Bristol is unloading fast, tweaking your setup, having good pit stops and staying out of trouble. If you can make all that happen, you can have a great finish.  It is so easy to get caught up in someone else’s mess there that a driver doesn’t have much reaction time.  It’s not a long race, about 16 seconds per lap for 200 laps, doesn’t take long.  So focusing on your surroundings is the best way to get a good finish.”</p>
