Winning Quote From Justin Bonsignore
"Ron (Silk) and I have been beating the hell out of each other and putting on shows at I think three of the four races. That caution with 15 or 20 to go or whatever it was was really good for us. I got a really good restart and he spun the tires bad and I was able to get down in front of him. He was able to roll down on the apron in one and two so good, and I couldn't hold the bottom. He got under me and we were beating and banging. I thought we were going to wreck when that yellow came out. Thank God we didn't. I just can't take the top on a green-white-checkered. I was able to roll the bottom like he did. He was a little bit better than us in the long run, but you've got to keep yourself in these things late in the race. Cautions fell our way. It's just unbelievable to get number 10 here."
