“We had a valve stem go bad.” -- Jeg Coughlin Jr. explaining the hard left his car took before he gathered it up and went on to beat Warren Johnson in the first round

“Shutting off was the right decision without a doubt.” -- Troy Coughlin after getting out of shape in the first round against Jason Line

“It seemed like this was a one-lane track in Pro Stock today. Looking at the track, there’s only about three feet that needs attention, but it really affects these cars.” -- Kurt Johnson after his semi-final loss from the right lane to Line

“I could definitely get used to results like the last two weeks. It might become addicting.”

-- Line with bad news for the rest of the Pro Stock field after going to his second-straight final round against teammate and car owner Anderson

“Jason is tougher by the run—not the weekend, by the run. I knew I was going to have to dig deep to get the win away from him. He’s going to be a major player in this category. I thought it was going to take six months or so, but I think it is going to happen much sooner.” -- Anderson on the promise his young protégé is showing

“I can’t believe it’s happening, but it sure is fun. Maybe not for everyone else, but it is for us.” -- Anderson again, on his continuing dominance in the class after qualifying number one for the 11th straight race and winning for the 8th time in his last 9 outings

“The car was just tired and I shut it off and saved it for another day. I didn’t want to push it past its limits.” -- Ed Hoover after getting loose about half-track during his first-round loss to Al Billes

“When I staged the car, it went in deep and it threw me completely off of my game. I just lost my focus and that was all he needed to beat me.” -- Thomas Patterson on his loss in the opening round to Mitch Stott

“We knew it wasn’t going to be easy by any stretch of the imagination. This was a pretty good weekend for our team. We grabbed a place in the field and that was the first battle.” -- Scotty Cannon salvaging what he could after losing to Von Smith in the first round

“It’s great when things are going your way. The car is working well and our team is performing great. Our car works great and Tim McAmis builds a heck of a consistent car. The car has been the key to our success.” -- Billes after defeating Stott in the final round
