"I can't believe I won this race as crappy as I've been driving all day." — Jason Line referring to his slightly off reaction times, though he did cut a .013 light against David Connolly in the final round
"It seems like one run you have it figured out, and then the sun pops out, the track temp goes up another 20 degrees and you lose the handle on it. This track definitely makes a major swing when the sun's shining on it.” — Greg Anderson after qualifying in the number-two slot
"The car is working well and we have the horsepower, so now we just need to go rounds and get a win. That's the only thing missing out of this puzzle.” — Richie Stevens Jr. after qualifying 9th
“We're happy with what we found, but we either have to get bigger shovels or dig deeper to see what we can do with this latest discovery." — Warren Johnson after qualifying 15th and becoming the only driver to break into the field during Saturday’s two qualifying sessions
"I'm racing on Sunday and that's all that matters right now.” — Mark Pawuk on finishing in the 16th—and last—qualifying position
"We ended up 17th . . . again." — Mike Thomas with all you need to know about his qualifying effort
"Everyone is moving at the same pace out here and the field just keeps getting better." — Shaun Carlson after another DNQ, on the Pro Stock contingent establishing the quickest field in NHRA history for the second-straight event
“The bottom line, I'm not getting it done on the starting line. I don't know how many races in a row I've gotten beat running quicker than the guy in the other lane—that can't happen. I can't point the blame at anybody. I haven't been driving as good as I need to drive and the car hasn't been bailing me out like it has in the past. I'm the first screw up, but we have to fix them both if we want to win again.” — Anderson on losing to W.J.’s holeshot in round one on raceday
"We were trying to make a good run, not just get down the track." — Jim Yates after losing traction against Kurt Johnson in round two
"The car spun terribly again in that second round. It was just like the first run, except we didn't break the driveshaft this time.” — Stevens Jr. on his second-round loss to number-one qualifier Allen Johnson and referring to the mechanical failure his car suffered in round one, but still advanced because opponent Dave Howard redlighted
“We made a few changes for the semis, but it just spun, and spun, and spun some more.” — K. Johnson explaining why he fell to Connolly in the semi-finals
"I felt more comfortable driving this weekend but I didn't want it to end like that.” — Connolly after coming up short to Line in the final
“Every pass was within a hundredth-and-a-half to two-hundredths of a second of each other all day long, and on this hot racetrack, that says a lot. The track was awesome today as well—probably the best hot track I've ever raced on. Hats off to the crew here at Englishtown and the NHRA Safety Safari for doing a great job getting it prepped." — Line on the consistency his car exhibited in picking up his 10th career win and second this year
