SEASON-BEST, SECOND-PLACE FINISH FOR MATT CRAFTON AT DOVER
 
“We just weren’t very good on short runs. On long runs, after 15 to 20 laps, we were decent, we just didn’t have very good short run speed. Johnny (Sauter) and the 18 were really good on the short runs, and just beat us. The run before the last one, we were a lot better for whatever reason. When we put on that last set of tires, we were just really tight getting down there in Turn 1. Johnny (Sauter) and I caught a lot of hell this weekend for being 40, but I guess the old guys showed them today, huh?”
