"It's a brutal race up here. I don't think people at home really understand what these crew chiefs have gone through this weekend.” — Capps on the challenging race conditions in the high, hot air at Bandimere Speedway
"It was a real hot race track, the tune-up up here is completely different, the car sounds and feels different. I wouldn't say I felt really comfortable this weekend, but Todd (Okuhara, crew chief), Phil (Shuler, assistant crew chief) and the seven other MTS Dodge guys always gave me a consistent car. All those guys deserve wins. They get bonuses. The better I perform, the better their paycheck is. Hopefully this time they will treat me to dinner. I've been doing that the last four months.” — Beckman sharing the credit in victory lane
“Holy smokes! I am so excited right now. We have worked so hard to get where we are right now and it is paying off. My dad (Rickie Smith) and Evan Knoll, what can I say? I wouldn't be here without them, I owe it all to them.” — Matt Smith after winning his second race this year by beating a redlighting Angelle Sampey in the final round
"It's kind of funny, because I have never actually tuned a bike up on this mountain until this year. No one wanted to help me out, except dad, so it was pretty cool when we ran low elapsed time.” — Smith after going 7.347 at 180.24 mph to earn his fourth top qualifying position this year
"In both passes today, my motorcycle was moving around for some reason. If we can cure that issue, I feel I have a good enough Suzuki to win the race.” — Sampey on her two Saturday-afternoon qualifying attempts after qualifying 7th
"We'll take my Suzuki apart tonight and juice it up for Sunday. We haven't forgotten how to do this thing.” — Antron Brown after a 14th-place qualifying result
“I hate losing by a few thousandths of a second, but that's what this class has come down to.” — Steve Johnson on his narrow first-round loss to Geno Scali
"It doesn't matter if I'm at the U.S. Nationals or any other race on the circuit. It's always disappointing if you go out early. I treat them all the same and want to win them all and it's unfortunate we couldn't defend last year's win." — Andrew Hines after posting a red-light start in round one against Karen Stoffer
"It's extremely disappointing. You can't keep beating yourself in this sport.” — Brown on leaving one thousandth of a second too soon in the second round against Matt Guidera
"I guess I pushed the tree yet again." — Sampey on going red by -.047 against Smith in the final round
"I had to get a monkey off my back. We have been getting to the finals, but it seemed like we couldn't finish the deal. We've had parts failures that have cost us a couple of wins at least. We broke a piston in round one, but luckily Mike Berry had red-lit or we'd have been done right then. You just never know, I guess. It all worked out today." — Smith on getting just his second win after going to six of the eight finals run so far this year
