Driver Quotes: Tom Feller, First place "I dropped back to fourth in the first turn and spent the first few laps just learning the rain line. I figured it out where my car was loose and where it was pushing. Then I stayed with the same line and followed Chris (Crisenbery). I followed his line through the water to keep my tires cool. The track dried quickly and I was sliding around quite a bit. I caught Chris and we were side by side. It was very clean racing." Chris Crisenbery, Second place "I enjoyed the rain. I was able to get a big lead at the start in the rain. But then the track began to dry and Feller was sneaking up behind me. I looked in my mirrors and saw this yellow car I hoped that he had just come out of the pits and was wll behind. But no, I looked at the score board and saw that he was second. My tires were cooked and I had nothing left. But it was good and clean racing when he passed me." Dan Collishaw, Third place "Chris just ran away from us at the start. I had a good battle for third with a few cars but they kept spinning. I ran very close with Ron Bartell and then he spun. I was then in third place and I really turned it up trying to close on second. But I turned it up too far and spun. I kept third, but from then on it was a lonely race."
