"We let one get away, but it's pretty awesome to have made up the ground we have just since Indy. That's the first time our car hasn't gone down the racetrack in awhile.”— Robert Hight after losing to Burkart, referring to the 14 previous clean runs he made while winning the last two events and finishing runner-up at Reading

“Let me tell you, when I crossed the finish line, a flood of emotions came over me. It's been a tough year, a very tough year, for the whole Team CSK program, and winning this race makes so much of it seem like ancient history. My dad was here, and he's never seen me win a race before, so that's about as cool as it gets.”— Burkart after winning his first race since the summer of 2004
