"I honestly don't know what happened. I felt good going up there and I felt good at the staring line. I was relaxed. The run was pretty good, second of the round if I'm not mistaken. I really didn't think I missed the light.”— Greg Anderson on losing to a holeshot by Ron Krisher in the opening round
"We dropped a valve and blew the motor.”— Connolly on why his day ended early in the first round against W. Johnson
“In the semi-finals, we knew the track had gotten hotter and saw the fuel cars going up in smoke ahead of us, so we made a few adjustments. It responded extremely well and ran low elapsed time of the round. Knowing what we do now, I could have probably made an additional few minor changes and picked it up even further to where we could have won the round.”— W.J. after losing to A. Johnson’s holeshot in the semis
"I was just late on the tree. He got out there on me and we just couldn't reel him in.”— Stevens on his close loss to Martino in the semis
"Pro Stock is the toughest class. The top six racers all went out in round one and the number-seven car wasn't racing today. You see it every week; you have to be perfect to win one of these things.”— A. Johnson after winning for the first time since 34 races ago, at Phoenix last year
