I was fuming in the car because we had all this traffic and it wasn't helping me, and then right when I needed it to help me, literally last corner, last lap! I think Scott led 95% of the laps, I hate doing that to a teammate.

I think I probably needed another 20 laps or so and some lapped traffic. I think I could have done something with (Hunter-Reay). But it was really tough, i think we were a winning car, so to finish second was bittersweet.

Unfortunately I get so annoyed these days when I miss it. It's not that I want to be a sore loser, But I just am so competitive that it is frustrating to me when we don't execute perfectly, that's the way my mind works. So I was very motivated to get the race win.

Tomorrow is not a given. I can tell you that we have a good car and we did a good job today, but that does not guarantee tomorrow's race.

I think it's been very entertaining from a fan standpoint — no one is getting away from anybody, we're all just together. I don't know how it's going to play out. I really don't.

They solve all sorts of dogs - all sorts, you should hear some of these heartbreaking stories these guys go through to find these dogs homes. We’re very happy to be able to get some money to this group because they’ve done a lot for us and for a lot of people in Nashville.

To have something like this challenge, I think, just fires you up more competitively, you want to get it done for them.

I had no thought about (last year), i was just focused on today. The thing that I focused on is we're in position.. You don't have many opportunities to be in position to close. I wanted to just close.

Probably a bunch of McDonald's, probably over $100 at McDonald's at least.
