I ran second here last year after starting on the pole, broke something leading, we fixed it, I drove back up to second and then the rain came and rained us out.

Brent Crews – No. 25 Yahoo-Mobil 1 Toyota Camry
Regarding the DuQuoin Race: Knowing we had such a fast racecar, were able to keep that speed the whole race, and then pit and had even faster speed, is huge momentum going into this weekend, especially since this is a dirt race.
