How was your race today?
"It went smooth. We kept getting a little bit better all day. Tommy Baldwin (crew chief) kept getting the car a little bit better as the race went on. After our very last pit stop the car just took off -- we were one of the fastest cars on the race track. We got some yellows there and weren't sure how we'd end up, but we still ended up good. When it went well on the restarts we kind of held our own. Most of those guys around us had new tires and we had stayed out. We're happy with it. If we can run like that most of the days and get better and better with no problems -- that's a great day."

How important is it that you're back in the top-35 in owner points?
"That's a big relief to get into the top-35, but you have to enjoy a nice run like this even more than that. When you can run like this you're not going to be out of the top-35 very long. If we can keep this up week in and week out -- we'll be fine."

How important is it for Toyota to get a good finish?
"We've been improving -- all the Toyota teams have been improving this season. Brian (Vickers) and I have had some great runs. He ran great the first half of the race and I ran great the second half of the race. We got a couple of top-10s out of it and that's making progress -- that's what we want to see."

Is it easier to go to tracks for the second time?
"Everybody gets better the second time from what we learned the first time. So, you just have to learn more or learn faster. We've been getting a lot better lately. The last month and a half or so we've been using different set-ups on the car and the car has been way more competitive. If we just have smooth days we are competitive."

Finished: 8th
How was your race today?
"We had a decent car. We were probably our worst there on the last restart. We were just too tight -- we took two tires and no fuel. It was tight in front of us after that and it was just too much. We are definitely improving, we just need to keep working on it. We've gotten better and better. These guys do a great job. Toyota brought a new package this weekend -- a new intake manifold -- and that helped."

What happened when you spun on lap 92?
"I just lost it. As long as I slid and nobody hit me I thought I'd be okay. But, then I slid and Joe (Nemechek) did hit me as I was coming off the wall. I didn't know which way the wheels were pointing out there in so much fog and we spun out there a little bit. I was trying to let everybody get by and I think he was the last one to go by and he got me. I'm okay."
