RICK HENDRICK ON THE WIN:

“Any time you win at Bristol it’s pretty special and we had a lot riding on the race today. It was the first race for the Impala, Chevrolet was looking for their 600th win and we were trying to get 200. I’m just real proud of the guys. Alan (Gustafson) works hard and Kyle drove a smart race and a hard race. They adjusted the car all day long and we were pretty good. I don’t think anyone had anything for Tony. But at the end of the day it was a good race. I’m real proud of the organization and I’m real proud of Kyle. He did a heck of a job. “

ON A DAY WHEN THE GIBBS CAR WERE CLEARLY THE CLASS OF THE FIELD BUT YOU WON AND TOOK A THIRD PLACE, DOES IT MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD TO GET THE WIN OR NOT GOOD THAT YOU HAVE MORE WORK TO DO?

RICK HENDRICK: “We’ve been in positions like at Daytona and in the Busch car and several times where we’ve been in position to win and it didn’t happen. We realize we have some work to do but I think that what you have to do in these situations is try to be there at the end, do the best you can, work on your car and adjust as the day goes on. Then if things happen to fall your way you take them and you go on. Every time we’ve been to the track. We’ll go back home and work on the cars and we’ll get better. It was a situation where we weren’t just terrible but we were definitely not the class of the field but our guys adjusted on the car and had good input from the drivers and we had a real good finish with all of our cars. We’ll take it at Bristol. I’ve been here and run all day long and then on the last lap get dumped. It’s one of these tracks where you want to survive and come out of here with some points. We’re going to learn every time we run this car. I’m not disappointed. I would have liked to have run better but I’ll take the results and go home and let these guys work on the car and we’ll be better the next time we come to town. “
