PRO STOCK
“We’ve learned a lot this weekend,
not the least of which is that a lot of cars
out here have gotten better. I’ll take
a lot of the credit for that because I think
we’ve put so much heat on everyone else
that we forced them to go home and work that
much harder.” -
Greg Anderson after earning his seventh top
qualifier honor this season
“The easiest way to explain our meeting
Kurt in the first round is that it has been
one of those years. I guess you could say that’s
the drag in drag racing. However, our preparations
will be the same as if we were facing anyone
else. I learned a long time ago not to concern
myself with who is in the other lane, because
I’m a little too short to reach over and
drive that car.” -
Warren Johnson after qualifying 8th, while his
son and teammate Kurt Johnson qualified 9th
“If we’d have been in the other lane,
we would’ve qualified; there was that much
difference between the lanes.” -
Jim Yates after ending up 19th and missing the
show with a last-chance qualifying effort in
the left lane
“We had too much wheel spin down low.
The car recovered, but we left a lot on the
table early in the run and that hurt us on the
big end.” - Jeg
Coughlin on his first-round loss to Steve Johns
“The bad lane hurt us.” -
Kenny Koretsky on losing from the left lane
to Dave Connolly in Sunday’s opening round
“This was a tuners race and a lot of teams
fell off, but we didn’t. All the credit
goes to (crew chiefs) Rob Downing and Jeff Perley
because it was the warmest conditions we’ve
raced in this season and we learned a lot.”
- Anderson giving credit
where credit is due after beating Connolly in
the final
“Last year when we won was a pretty emotional
day with Jason (Line) getting upside down. This
weekend sure beats that.” -
Anderson on going home after the win with two
intact racecars in the trailer
PRO STOCK BIKE
“Being the number-one qualifier is nice
for the team, but it really doesn’t matter
on Sunday.” - Andrew
Hines on sitting atop the P/S Bike field for
the fourth time this year
“It was a surprise to me. I pushed the
air button to shift but nothing happened. I
pushed several times with no success. I tried
high but nothing I tried worked.” -
Fred Collis on the shifter problems that led
to a loss to Keith Dennis in round one
“I was as surprised as anyone by the slow
run we had out of the bike today. We thought
it was ready for a 7.17 or a 7.18 type run,
but when it left the starting line it just went
nowhere.” - Craig
Treble on losing with a 7.254 to Shawn Gann
in round one
“I knew I had to be as perfect as I could
be at the start. I thought I might be able to
hold him off, but he just came around me at
the very end.” -
Antron Brown after carding a perfect .000 light,
but losing to Hines in the second round
“The bike bogged a bit right at the start
and it cost me.” -
Angelle Savoie on her semi-final loss to Steve
Johnson
“The Pro Stock Bike class has gotten tougher
and tougher over the last three years and we
really have reached a point where anyone is
capable of winning. Right now looks like it’s
our time. I’m just going to stay focused
on the championship and getting points.”
- Hines after beating
Johnson to pick up his second win of the year
and extending his points lead
