Quotes
Danny Lasoski "The first thing I want to do is thank all the people from JD Byrider that are here tonight supporting our team, and I owe this whole weekend to Jimmy Carr-he's the greatest crew chief in the world. I let him down here last August, and I promised him that if I was healthy that would never happen again. Jimmy and Todd Splain work their tails off and never complain, even though I mess up sometimes and make mistakes. JD Byrider, Home Depot, Mopar, American Compressed Steel, Eagle Chassis, Kistler Engines, and Hoosier tires all do a great job for us, and I just have the lucky job of driving this car. This place is the sprint car capital of the world, and as far as I'm comcerned, it will always be home to me, so winning here is always pretty special."
