"This ranks up there with Indy. I haven't won Indy yet, and last year I told you this was as big as it could ever get for me. And until we get an Indy win this will remain the biggest in my career, for sure. And to do it twice, I still can't believe it.”— Ron Capps after successfully defending his Gatornationals title by beating Phil Burkart in the final round
"I was thinking, if they beat us and I have to stand around and test all day and watch him testing that car, it was going to be a long night.”— Capps again, on his brother Jon testing on Monday in the same car Burkart was driving against him in the final
"This race track has been pretty much a disaster all weekend. You don't know what you're going to get.”— Gary Scelzi after qualifying 2nd, on the unpredictable conditions encountered by the fuel cars
"The car left and it had so much clutch dust—and Robert Hight (polesitter in the next lane) was telling me his car did as well. It was hard to see. And all of a sudden at half-track his
car just made a move and it was like a video game and it just popped out there. And you're trying to focus on your own lane and keep your car in the groove. When his car popped sofar out, the driver in you wants to shut it off. I just didn't have any idea it was running that good, and whether or not he was running that good. I went ahead and stayed on the throttle and thank God I did.”— Capps on making a 4.772-seconds lap in his final qualifying attempt to place 3rd on the list
"I got out of the groove and couldn't bring it back from the wall. But we are tickled to death to make the field.”— Kenny Bernstein after qualifying 15th, making it his first raceday start since returning from retirement
