Matthew Cowley, Team Pelfrey:

"I felt I took to the track, it's a great track. It's got a Brands Hatch feel with ups and downs, wavy and slick. It was the plan to get a good start, to try to get into the lead early. I put in a few (big) opening laps to try to get momentum going and build a gap."

Yuven Sundaramoorthy, K-Hill Motorsports:

"At the start I managed to gain a position on Zach Holden. From there I knew if I lost a few positions it was fine because the draft is so big here. I got lucky at the end, in the right position at the right time."

Lance Fenderson, K-Hill Motorsports:

"It was a bad qualifying yesterday. We got to the lead pack. It took me a couple of laps to get there. The leader broke away. The last couple of laps were interesting with the K-Hill drivers second, third and fourth."

Scott Rubenzer, Masters Class Winner:

"It was a great race, with good battling with Joel (Haas) and Chuck (Horn)."
