KURT BUSCH [No. 2 Dodge]Race Winner

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR WIN TODAY IN ATLANTA:
“Yeah, it was a great battle for us. Our Miller Lite Dodge was set up for being a utility-type car. What I mean by that is it was good on long runs, good in the middle runs and good on the short runs. We weren't excellent in any area, but good overall with the different stints you have to run on tires. Then sometimes, there are cautions and you stay out on old tires. The car reacted well on those. That's what it takes…a well-rounded car. I felt like this year's battle was much tougher with the competition than last year. But it's just because the tires change a little bit, aerodynamics change a little bit. But I'll tell one thing that changed, and it changed for the better, is the guy sitting to my right. Steve Addington has taught me how to drive cars different, how to look at them differently. When you want to get up on the wheel for somebody like Steve, good things happen. I'm happy to bring it home for Steve, this team. A win for Dodge early in the year means a lot to us, means a lot to the people up in Detroit."

Q. IS THERE ANY MORE ADDED PRESSURE FOR YOU NEXT WEEKEND AT THE NHRA EVENT NOW?
“Next weekend is going to be about having some fun, but yet putting together a serious effort. Being a car owner, I guess, and understanding all the ins and outs of putting together a car to go drag racing with, it's been fun, a challenge. Today I got to lean on some of the experience I've been through in Roy Hill's drag racing school, to get that forward bite right out of the box. Today on all these restarts, I felt like we had the right grip. We weren't getting a lot of tire slip. That's what it's going to take for me at the GatorNationals next week, to have everything go our way. Just having an off week, enjoying a great sponsor with Miller Lite, the camaraderie with the guys on my drag car, volunteers, I'm excited about next week. Yet, what the season can bring us? Working with Steve, working with this team on the Cup side of it, I wouldn't want to be with any group of guys other than this. With Roger Penske and our group, I saw all cars from Penske in the top 10 at one point today. I know they all didn't finish there. We've definitely turned a good corner. Steve is working real well with Travis and Jay. All the thoughts of how is Steve going to be able to handle a different Busch, feels good to be able to get to Victory Lane right away. I haven't even yelled at him yet, so it feels good."

Q. DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU WON THIS RACE THREE DIFFERENT TIMES TODAY?
“Well, I said that sarcastically on the radio. That's who I am when I'm out in the groove, out in the zone, saying something sarcastic. A lot of times, it comes over the wrong way. In years past, the leader would have taken the yellow, won the race. It would have been done. Then it would have gone to a green-white-checkered. Now we've gone to multiple green-white checkered finishes. You have to adjust, no matter what the circumstances are to win these races, no matter if there's a wing on the back, spoiler on the back, no matter if there's multiple green-white-checkered flags, old tires, new tires, you name it. I feel like we won the race outright today. No doubt, we did our job on pit road. No doubt, we did our job on long runs. And I think we hit the right combination for restarts. That's what I'm most proud of."

Q: CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THAT FINAL RESTART?
“Yeah, I definitely saw Clint Bowyer was cheating up towards the topside to block that top groove. Menard had to block the low lane with Jamie McMurray on the inside. So it worked out perfect that the two were too busy thinking about what they had to do on two tires. We were on the offense. We had four tires. The car stuck really well on the restart. We shot through there like a slingshot. I was happy about that move. I was going to look to the high side in one and two, make it three wide, hold it wide open, and see what we got. Luck had it where we just split the middle, held it wide open and we cleared those guys. It's like at Daytona. We wanted four fresh tires at the end to run to the finish. Not enough guys pitted with us. Today, we flat out knew we needed four fresh tires. Steve made the call. That's what it's all about, hitting it right when you’ve got a good car."

HOW DO YOU SEE THE ORGANIZATION ON THE CUP LEVEL RIGTH NOW? CAN YOU COMMENT ON DODGE NOT HAVING A CAR AT THE DARLINGTON TEST ON TUESDAY?
“It was great to see all the guys running in the top 10. Sam had a little bit different setup than the 2 and the 12. But to see Keselowski run well and find his groove with these Cup cars, he put in our setup about halfway through on Saturday, and to talk with him, to not have him in a Nationwide race, to have him focus strictly on the Cup deal, I was excited about what this weekend for him. Then Sam has been tripping over some of these ideas that he has in his car that have helped him run successfully.

“As a whole, I see us gaining strength, gaining momentum. We now have to get through the short-track portion of our season with Martinsville, Bristol and Phoenix coming up. But, hey, we feel like we have a good package. Now we have the real spoiler coming onto the car. We'll have to adjust to that as well. Not going to Darlington, I'm sure they're going to test with spoilers. We don't have a Dodge there representing our brand. That's kind of a tough cookies type of deal. Darlington has been a struggle for me the last few years. Hopefully, Steve will work up some magic. I'll lean on him to help get us through that weekend."

Q. WHAT WAS YOUR OPINION OF THE TIRES TODAY?
“Just, you know, a quick observation on Friday on how fast we were going in qualifying trim, I heard that was the quickest lap ever turned by a COT, which Dale Jr. was sitting on the pole. When you have that happen, that means the tires are really grabbing a hold of the race track. That means you're going to have speed. And when you have speed on a track that's very abrasive, yeah, you're going to be worried about tires, whether it's blistering of the right front, blistering the right rear. You have to find that right combination. That's what I was really focused on with Steve and the group, not to abuse one tire versus another tire. It's real easy to make a car turn. But, hey, is it going to abuse the tire. So we wanted to stay away from that.”

Q. SHOULD CARL BE SUSPENED FOR THE WRECK ON THE 12 CAR?
“The first time that I saw the replay was when I was on the SPEED Channel Victory Lane show. What I saw, you can find my reaction. I was a bit disturbed by what I had seen. To see a guy that's a hundred laps down take out a guy that's run really well, that was a tough, tough pill to swallow. It reminded me of when Keselowski was racing Edwards hard for the win at Talladega, and Edwards ended on the short end of the stick. That was racing for a win. That wasn't where you were a hundred laps down. Yeah, I felt like we had great restarts all day long. If I had anybody to challenge me, he was gonna be one of the toughest ones because of all the standing starts he had to do in his career in Formula One. He's good at finding that forward bite, that traction you need on a restart. There's a restart zone. You get into that vicinity and hammer down on the gas. I feel like we didn't have any tire spin at all and that squirted us ahead. If you get into a panic, the guy takes off in front of you; you end up slipping your tires. I think he ended up slipping his tires and didn't get that restart that he wanted.”

Q. WERE YOU HOLDING BACK A BIT AT THE END OF THE RACE TO MAKE IT INTERESTING?
“I feel like it was about ready to get interesting. Our car was great on the short runs. But on that run, we had a tire cycle. We had a one lap green run, then the yellow came out. So now the tires were harder. They weren't quite getting the grip that they needed. We were struggling with getting that right rear planted in the race track. I saw the gap that I had back to him, you know, starting to decrease a little bit. But I was timing it out with the race finish. He could have got to our outside coming to the checkered, but there was no way he was going to get by the Miller Lite Dodge.”

HOW DO YOU ASSESS THE PAST THREE RACE STRETCH? DOES THIS SERVE AS A BAROMETER WITH THE SPOILER CHANGE COMING UP?
“I feel like we've been a ping pong ball in the points standings so far this year with Daytona, we were 23rd, bumped up to ninth after California, back to 19th after Vegas, and then I don't know where we are right now. I'm assuming we gained some ground. We need to have some more consistency. But we've had some off the wall things happen to us. It's a good gauge, yeah. We’ve been competitive three out of the four races so far this year, and the race we weren't as competitive as the others was our best finish. So that's what a championship team does.

"We feel right now the right moves are being made, the right pit stops are being created. Who knows what the rest of the season has. But we look at the short track season coming up. We got Bristol, Martinsville, Phoenix is in the mix. For us to win here at Atlanta, it is the last race for a wing on a mile and a half. We’ve got to put this setup to rest or we'll see how it blends in with the new spoiler and adjust from there.

"I think the new spoiler is going to throw a wrench into it and everyone is going to have to adjust once they get past Texas."

IS THERE A LINE BETWEEN WHAT HAPPENED TODAY WITH KESELOWSKI AND ‘HAVE AT IT BOYS’?
“I feel like what happened out on the race track is those two drivers' business. I feel like I have to be in my teammate's corner. When Roger Penske stuff is torn up, I feel bad about it. It's one of those circumstances that a young driver goes through and that a veteran shows that he's going to stand his ground. I've been on the receiving end. I've been on the giving end. It's really not my place to talk.

WHETHER NASCAR IMPOSES A PENALTY OR NOT, HOW DOES THIS IMPACT THE GARAGE?
“The best way for me to approach this is to put myself in both drivers' situations. If I was in the situation, you know, it's one thing to sweat somebody and pinch him a little bit up against the wall, take their line away, or to make it hard on them for a few laps, or for a full run if you want to, but to see what had happened, why it happened, I don't know what led up to that. I can't really speak on which way NASCAR is going to view it. But the way I view it is, hey, if NASCAR disciplines Edwards for it, that's what they saw in their mind. If they don't, that's what they saw in their mind and that's why they didn't react. It's not for me to judge how to penalize somebody."

DO YOU FEEL IT CAN OPEN THINGS UP FOR DRIVERS TO UNDERSTAND HOW THIS ALL WORKS?
“Yeah, I know what answer I think you want. If we drew a line in the sand and 51% of the garage area said he was over the line, then you're gonna have a group that agrees with what had happened. If everybody's on one side and NASCAR decides another, then we'll all scratch our heads and go, what really did happen? I don't have the booth to review. I don't know what happened the laps leading up to that. It's a call that NASCAR's going to have to make. That's why I'm happy that we're in Victory Lane and we get to celebrate and drink Miller Lite for an extra week because we don't have to go to Bristol for two weeks."

STEVE ADDINGTON [Crew Chief, No. 2 Dodge]

CAN YOU COMMENT ON YOUR FIRST WIN WITH BOTH KURT AND PENSKE RACING:
“It feels awesome to get that first win at Atlanta. This is the site of my first Cup win. To come back here and put this together, this was a team effort. It all started on Friday with the feedback from Kurt. You know, he told us, you know, we’ve got to work on this thing. If we're going to win, we got to work on this. We made a lot of adjustments. We hit on some stuff on Saturday. He was happy with it. We kind of messed around there. It was just like, hey, let's go back here, we're not that far off on the second run from Happy Hour. Let’s adjust from there. That's what we did. And we felt confident going in. I slept good last night, you know. That was a different feeling than I've had in a long time, to be able to go in and rest because I felt confident that I had the feedback I needed to go out and win this race with Kurt Busch."

AFTER EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED WITH KYLE, I KNOW YOU HAD UNFINISHED BUSINESS. DO YOU FEEL VINDICATED?
“I think if I denied that, I would be lying. You know, it feels good. It honestly feels good to be with this race team, with Kurt as the driver, and come back and win before the 18 car got a chance to win. That's a personal deal. There's nothing against that. I'm still great friends with Kyle and everything. But it's a good feeling. It's a relief in a certain way. It all comes back to the team. You know, I didn't win this race today. Kurt won this race with these guys on pit road, these guys that put this car together and worked on it through practice. This was a total team effort all weekend long.”

WHAT WAS YOUR ROLE ON THOSE RESTARTS? WHERE YOU BURNING THROUGH CIGARETTES COACHING?
“No, that's what I just told him, I said I looked over at our race engineer, Dave Winston and told him, I used to get so nervous that I'd want to puke in this situation. I said, ‘Now it's out of our hands.’ There's nothing we can do. We can't control any of this stuff. So you just sit there, you take what it is. You got to have confidence in your driver that he'll get it done. I had confidence in the driver to get it done.”

Q. HOW GREAT IS THE ADDED SATISFACTION THAT YOU WON TODAY?
“It's awesome. You know, and the thing that really I feel good about was when all that went down, I mean, I'm at a point, let's move on past that. But this guy right here, he's the first one that called, you know. So it's a good feeling to know that the driver wants you to come over here and go to work for him. That's the most satisfying thing, is to get him to Victory Lane. I hope we do it many more times together here this year. You know, I mean, I think that we can. He's been awesome to work with. Great feedback. The thing that I enjoy about it is, we can sit in that lounge three hours after practice, and he finally looked through all the stuff, go over with us, he'll go, ‘all right, what do you want to do now?’ It's like we talk about a lot of stuff. It’s good to have somebody sitting in there. You know, we don't have to say a lot. We're all looking through the information together, looking at what we did, looking back at runs. It's very satisfying to be working with Kurt right now. I'm looking forward to it. I think that great things can happen with this race team. To answer your question, like I said earlier, to come back here, this is the place that I won my first race as a Cup crew chief, and it just happened to be his brother. That was very special. That was very big. But to be with a new organization, to have the relationship that I've already built in a short period of time with Kurt and this race team, this one's pretty damn special. To put it on a measuring stick, I can't, because I feel pretty damn good right now.”

Q. THE RACE WENT 16 EXTRA LAPS. CAN YOU DEVISE A STRATEGY FOR THAT?
“No. We tried to keep the balance on our car. We talked about it before we came down pit road there during the caution of whether we were good on fuel, you know, for all three of the green-white-checkered restarts if we went to three. So we just wanted to keep the balance on the car. So we put fuel in it with tires. We hadn't had a problem on restarts all day long. We just stuck with what we'd been doing all day long. “

YOU WERE REALLY GOOD ON LONG RUNS TODAY:
“Everything looked great all day long. We had that one set that we felt was pretty loose. I told him we had a small blister on the right rear. That run was pretty loose from the beginning. We missed it a little bit on the adjustment. I don't know. You can look at those things forever and not see why it's a looser set or a freer set. It goes along with your adjustment. All our stuff looked great. That's one thing that I can see we pay attention to, the tire wear on the car, especially when you come to a place like Atlanta and have a big fall off in the tire wear. We paid attention to that and tried to be easy and put grip in the car with our setup. So it worked out. We didn't have any issues all day long really."

GREG BIFFLE [No. 16 Ford](Finished 8th)

“We had a really good day. I don’t know what it is, but we keep getting screwed on these restarts. Everytime we’re at the end of the race – green-white-checkered or three to go – the guy in my lane spins his tires and we get all jacked up. It happened the restart before that and then it happened for the final restart. I don’t understand.”

STILL, THAT’S FOUR STRAIGHT TOP 10 FINISHES TO START THE YEAR.
“Yeah, I’m really happy about that. We feel really good about it, but now is the time to get all you can get and when you have a chance to finish fifth and you finish eighth it still hurts.”

ATLANTA MOTOR SPEEWAY / E-Z-GO 200 POST RACE QUOTES

KEVIN HARVICK (Winner, No. 2 CHEVROLET):
We just had a great truck. The thing about truck racing is on these big race tracks the draft sometimes come into effect. Sometimes you get shuffled back, but if we could keep our track position and get a good restart and get down to the bottom of the race track and get a little air on the front of their noses, it seemed like after six or seven laps we could start pulling away. When you have the sponsor on your truck and they sponsor the race too, that makes life good. We didn’t make a whole lot of changes on the truck all weekend (You build a lot of new trucks; you’re going to have to race a used one eventually) Nope -- we sell ‘em. We probably have a third of the field on the race track. We have a lot of customers we hang bodies for. That’s what keeps our teams going. They want this one, they can come have this one too. (You told Hornaday to stay out) The smoking had completely gone away, but it must have broke those cords down enough to blow the tire out. Those guys are in a hole, but we’ll keep giving them good trucks. You have some good days and some bad days. They’ve had two bad days, but they’ve had a lot of good days too. They are just in a little bit of a slump right now. (You’ve supplanted Kyle Busch as the favorite in NCWTS) A lot of the reason we race trucks is to make sure Kyle Busch doesn’t win all those races. That’s the honest truth. That’s the reason we started running more truck races, to protect him from winning 7-8 races a year. But he’s gonna win his fair share still because he’s a good driver.

ERNIE COPE (Crew chief, No. 2 CHEVROLET):
We made one adjustment: took three-tenths of air out of the right rear on our first stop and never touched it again.

(2nd place, No. 18 Toyota):
It was a good day for Kyle Busch Motorsports. It was a true test of what this team will do this year; this was a start for us. We had a really good truck. Not quite as fast as we would have like to have been, but we still had a decent effort. We’re a young team, and this was good to come out of the box here and run strong. Excited about what happens next. (Conscious of ownership role on track?) I wasn’t giving a pep talk, but I was giving some ideas for Taylor to drive while we were out there. Looked like he was mired back in the teens all day, and I saw that, so under caution I’d tell my spotter and he’d go talk to his spotter. I’m always trying to do my part and give some advice.

ARIC ALMIROLA (3rd place, No. 51 Toyota):
We had a good day. It was not what we wanted obviously; everybody comes here to win, but another top-five for us. We continue to put ourselves in a position to win races and run strong every week. The truck was not exactly as it needed to be, but all in all, I’m really proud of all the guys at our race shop. We’re not all the way there, but we’re gaining on it. Makes me proud to see their hard work pay off.

AUSTIN DILLON (10th place, No. 3 Chevrolet):
That was our plan to go out and run all the laps and try to get us a top-10. Really good for rookie race too go out and get experience. (Is Atlanta like a dirt track?) This place is totally different than dirt. You can take the experience and run sideways but this place is totally different than any dirt place I’ve run. You’re running wide open.

More Quotes
KYLE BUSCH [No. 18 Toyota]
Finishing Position: 2nd

Do you think you had anything for Kevin Harvick at the end of the race?
“That was about all that we had. We gave it everything there. That’s a good run for us. A solid run for Kyle Busch Motorsports and these guys – they deserve it. They’ve worked so hard over the winter time and have done a great job. I really want to thank Toyota, Heluva Good, Race Trac Convenient Stores for being on the back and M&M’s and everybody that’s made this so fun so far this year. We’re looking for some more funding of course. That proves that we’re out here to run good. We definitely want to make sure that we’re a testament in this sport and that we do the best we can week in and week out. And of course, I want to say: ‘Hey’ to all of the kids up there in the stands that were here on part of the Kyle Busch Foundation. That’s cool to have them here and sorry we came up a little bit short there. Maybe we’ll get another one here before the year is out.”

What do you need to work on to make your better?
“We just need to work in the aero department I think a little bit and get some mechanical grip out of it. We just don’t quite have as much downforce as the Chevrolets. Rick (Ren, Kyle Busch Motorsports competition director) he knows a lot about what the Chevrolets have for numbers and we’re just not there yet with the Toyota stuff. We’ll get it there hopefully and if not then we’ll try to outrace them any way we can.”

Are you conscious of your ownership role when you’re out there racing?
“I wasn’t really giving a pep talk but I was just trying to give some ideas for Tayler (Malsam) to try while we were out there. With maybe driving a little bit harder into the corners and making sure that he wasn’t getting bogged down with momentum behind people and stuff like that. It just looked like he was mired back in the teens all day. I had kind of seen that so I would tell my spotter under caution and he would go and talk to Tayler’s spotter. Hopefully it helped him a little bit. It looked like he did. He got better and their truck got better handling and they got up to about seventh and I was pretty pleased with that. Actually I just found out that if the race would’ve went green the rest of the way and some of us would’ve had to pit under green then they would’ve made it and had a shot to probably win the race. Unfortunately, it didn’t pan out for them. I’m always trying to do my part and give some advice in some areas that maybe he can use and hopefully he used it. We’ll be doing that more throughout the year.”

What happened at the start of the race when you got some damage to your truck?
“At the start of the race I was going down the frontstretch and (Matt) Crafton pulled low underneath me and made me threewide getting into (turn) one – no big deal. But when I got down in there I don’t know if Crafton went up or if the 33 (Ron Hornaday Jr.) came down but I got squeezed in the middle. They were joining together and I was still in the middle so I kind of got squeezed and caused a little bit of right front damage to our truck – no big deal. Unfortunately it hurt (Ron) Hornaday’s day I guess. I don’t know if his left rear went down or what happened.”

ARIC ALMIROLA [No. 51 Toyota] Finishing Position: 3rd

How was your race today?
“We had a really good Toyota Tundra today. It was really fast. We struggled there at the beginning. Our truck was a little bit too low. We had to come in on one of those stops and raise it up. I think we fell back to 18th or 20th but we came right back to the front. All the guys on this Graceway Pharmaceuticals truck today, man, they did an awesome job. They worked their guts out. We had a really good truck right off the hauler right at the beginning of practice, we just were never good enough. It wouldn’t roll around the corner quite the way I needed it to all day and (Kevin) Harvick’s truck just did that.”

Did you think you had a shot at passing Kyle Busch at the end if the race had stayed green?
“It’s hard to say. I think our truck was a little bit better than his I think on the long run. We just got tight and that was the biggest thing that we fought, we just got tight. If we could’ve kept it freed up long enough I think we would’ve had a shot at it.”

Are you happy with your team’s performance so far this year?
“We’re consistent -- top-fives is what we need to do. We’re racing for a championship this year. This year’s mindset is completely different than last year but at the same time we want to go win races. That’s the way to win a championship is score the most points. Richie Waters (crew chief) and all of the guys at Billy Ballew Motorsports have worked their guts out over the winter to make our program better and keep up. We still got our homework to do. We just weren’t as good as we needed to be on the long runs, we would get really tight. I’m real proud of everybody on this Graceway Pharmaceuticals Toyota Tundra. We had a good truck today.”

STEVE WALLACE [No. 15 Toyota] Finishing Position: 4th

How was your first race in the Camping World Truck Series?
“It was good. We had a good Toyota Tundra today. We had a really good truck. We just kind of went a little too far on that last adjustment and got it a little too tight. We pulled some air out of those front tires and got it down there on the splitter a little bit. After that, the truck started to come back to life. I had my foot off the brake there on the last pit stop. The tires spun and we lost a lot of spots there. All in all, it was a good day. Billy Ballew got third and fourth place finishes in his home town. It’s a cool day.”

What did you notice about driving these trucks?
“These things draft really, really hard. When you get a someone on your right-rear quarter panel you tend to get really, really loose. Some of those things I learned today. These things are definitely a blast to drive, man. They’re a lot of fun. Hopefully, we’ll be able to do it again.”

Can you talk about your race today?
“It was a really good start. I have to thank Billy Ballew for this opportunity. We had a lot of fun out there today. We got to lead a couple laps and run up front all day long. We just made a couple adjustments that tightened the truck up a little too much towards the end. That kind of took our shot away from winning. And I left my foot off the brake on the last stop and lost a bunch of spots there. It was all right.”

TODD BODINE [No. 30 Toyota] Finishing Position: 5th

Can you talk about your race today?
“We had a really good truck up to that point (contact with Matt Crafton). When I got in the wall, it pushed the back end in and pushed the quarter panel up and gave us too much side force if you can believe it. And the truck was just way too tight after that. We had a great Tundra. The guys did an awesome job. There in the beginning, we didn’t really have anything for Kevin (Harvick) or Kyle (Busch), but we were going to adjust it. I think we could’ve run with them. I don’t know if we could’ve beat them, this is the ‘Chevy Silverado benefit series’ right now. They’ve got all the rules going their way and got all the horsepower. We’re proud to be driving this Toyota Tundra and proud of what Toyota has done for the sport. We know there’s a lot of customers out there that will come back and be very proud to be driving a Toyota.”

How important is it to get off to a good start to the season?
“That’s the key to any series, any points race. I’ve come out of Daytona 38th before and it’s a long hard struggle to get to the top. Normally, you never get to the top. You get to the top-five, that’s about it. It’s a great way to start the season, for sure.”

Can you talk about the incident with Matt Crafton?
“It was racing hard. Matt (Crafton) got down there and got loose and I was already committed to the outside of him. When I went outside, I was tight on him. When I got tight on him, I knew it was going to make him loose, so I turned up the race track, but it was too late and he got into me. He came over and apologized and I know he didn’t mean to do it, but that’s four times that that’s happened with him – just him and us – not to mention the five guys that he’s gotten into. I know (Ron) Hornaday is pretty upset with him. We’ll just go to the next race."
