Boris Said Race Quotations

We need to beat that finishing result, ... Last year, I just wanted to finish the race with all of the fenders on the car. We did that. I want to do the same this weekend, but have a finishing position of at least 10 spots better.

Lowe's is my nemesis. I didn't qualify for the Memorial Day race there, but we have tested at the track since and hopefully it will be a different scenario this time around. After today, I just can't wait to get back on those ovals.

I've always wanted to run in the dirt, ... But part of the fun about this was the chance to race McGrath.

Qualifying is first and foremost, ... Once we can achieve that initial goal, the next objective for California is to finish the race in the top 20. That won't be easy, but it's possible even though there are more than 20 world-class drivers competing in the Nextel Cup Series. I really feel the CENTRIX Financial team can do it. I am backed by a quality crew chief, a quality crew and have Hendrick horsepower under the hood of my CENTRIX Financial Chevy.

It's a long race. You don't race in the 24 hours of Daytona; you save everything. I'm just glad we're all tall! That will make it a lot more comfortable.

I'm going to give myself a B-minus. In practice and qualifying I thought I made a lot of progress. But then in the race we got unlucky because we blew a left-front tire right off the bat. Later in the race I spun when I was trying to get by someone-- that was just a rookie mistake, but I managed to save the car and not hit the wall.

For my fifth race this season on a non-restrictor plate oval, I felt I made some pretty big gains this weekend, ... We were clicking off competitive lap times all day and felt we had at least a top-20 car.
