“My hat’s off to the Orleans Dodge team. We had a malfunction in the pits early, and I had to go to the back. We got penalized for a tire loose on pit lane and had to go to the tail end of the longest line. They should give an award for the most trucks passed because I think we passed the most. I want to congratulate Ted Musgrave and his Mopar team for winning the race. It just goes to show that Dodge is the truck to have. I just really like Craftsman Truck racing. I’m having a lot of fun here. When Brendan moved to Cup a couple of people left with him. We are in the process of rebuilding the Orleans Dodge team back to a team that can win races. Charlie Wilson is doing a great job as the crew chief now. Steve Hibbard is great. And I have to thank all of the guys back at the shop that are working hard. Some guys couldn’t make it this weekend because they are in Vegas working hard on a truck to go to the wind tunnel. They never quit. That is the great thing about this team. They never quit, and they have a driver who is not going to quit either.”
