"Yes, we do have much more horsepower under the hood than we did last year, but that is not all we have. My crew chiefs Rob (Downing), and Jeff (Pearly) have a much better grasp on how to use that extra horsepower. You can have all the horsepower in the world, but if

you cannot get it to the ground, you have nothing." -- Greg Anderson before qualifying second

"I clicked it in high gear, looked over and saw that I had him by a nose, and thought I was going to win. I waited for my win light to come on, when I suddenly caught that his was on from the corner of my eye. I was floored when I learned that I red-lighted, especially by -.017, and then I found out that Bruce (Allen) went red by -.027 ahead of me. In fact, when I talked to Greg at the finish line, he told me he had put me in the left lane because they had noticed something with the tree on that side, and were themselves afraid of red-lighting." -- Kurt Johnson on fouling out against Anderson for the second straight time

"We had an engine problem again this weekend. The car slowed down and we couldn't figure out why. We made tune-up changes and couldn't fix it. Then we changed motors and the car improved a little, so we knew it was the motor." -- Jim Yates after losing to Jeg Coughlin Jr. in the semis

"We had a solid weekend. We qualified number one and made it to the final round. Our program is going in the right direction. We really want to end this season on a high note." -- Coughlin Jr. after finishing runner-up to Anderson in the final

"I got my lunch eaten at the starting line and that was it." -- Antron Brown on his opening-round loss to Fred Collis
