Dover: Post-race driver quotes

KASEY KAHNE (No. 9 Budweiser Dodge Charger)
Finished 6th, Moved to 14th in points
"It was a good day for our Budweiser Dodge. (Greg) Biffle and I were battling all day and it was fun. He ended up third, and we ended up sixth. It was a good race for us. The new motor had plenty of power which made the car fun to drive. We were good on pit stops and the car handled well. We were just so loose all day, especially on short runs. Our Dodge was great on long runs, but the race had so many debris cautions that it was crazy. As soon as we would get racing, a debris caution would come out and really take the pace away from the race. For our Budweiser Dodge team, it was a really good day. We've made some really big gains the last few weeks ."

REED SORENSON (No. 43 Air Force Dodge Charger)
Finished 19th, Moved to 25th in points
"It was cool to lead those laps at the start (of the race). I'm glad we got to do that for the Air Force guys that were here this weekend. We had a pretty good day. When I could run my line, I could really get a good drive off the corner. That was a tough race, but we are getting here. I thought we might get a top 10 finish, but we got the (air) hose caught on the splitter on that stop with about 70 to go and lost some spots. I think it also messed up the car. The Richard Petty Motorsport guys are working hard and that's showing on the track. I hope the way we ran create s some momentum we can take to Pocono with us next weekend and run even better."

ELLIOTT SADLER (No. 19 Stanley Tools Dodge Charger)
Finished 27th, Moved to 27th in points
"You know we want better and we aren't satisfied by any means with 27th. Looking on the bright side, we showed progress today. The Stanley Dodge had a great start to the weekend on Friday in qualifying and we ran decent today. We tried some strategy and that got us to the front. We raced hard and fought to stay on the lead lap. We still have a lot of work to do making these cars turn."

AJ ALLMENDINGER (No. 44 Auto Value Dodge Charger)
Finished 29th, Moved to 30th in points
"Man, we thought we were going to have a good day. That debris caution early (lap 117) cost us two laps and that killed our day. The timing for that caution couldn't have come at a worse time for us. At a place like Dover, it's almost impossible to make up two laps. When we had our chance (to make some spots up) there was a long green flag run and the 48 was so fast, he kept us down. Then we had a cut right rear (tire). We're having terrible luck and it's frustrating. We deserved better today."
