Quote
Kyle Busch: "The cautions there kinda hurt us. We struggled on late restarts in the Spring here, and just wish we were able to restart on the top – then I might have raced with the guys up front. Don't have to do anything crazy at Dover."
Quote
Kenseth: "We were pretty good today, we just didn't get that last adjustment in. Last restart, I let Kevin lay back on me, he anticipated it just right. I spun up the tires and he got a run into Turn 1 and it was all over. I let them down there."
Trophy
That's Harvick's 11th win with Stewart-Haas Racing.
Harvick is a bit happier than last week, when he refused to speak to the press!
Quote
Harvick: "Man that worked out really good, my car was good on restarts. On we go. It was just a smooth restart, I did not want to spin the tires and it worked out good when we got to Turn 1."
Chasers outside the top ten:
11-Logano

Kenseth led 105, and has to settle for runner-up spot – ending his winning streak here.
Harvick led eight laps all race. He certainly led the five most important ones.
He blows his left-rear tire. Good luck with post-race checks on that car...
