TCGR Quoteboard

Scott Dixon, No. 9 Target Chevrolet: "I think the whole race went fairly well, but we had a few little issues there with pulling my tear-offs off, and my head pad came loose. All in all I think the Target car had some pretty good speed. I don’t think I asked for the right changes on the last stop and we had some understeer. When we got back there behind a few cars there at the end we couldn’t quite keep the momentum going.”
