(victory lane)

Spike: Jeff, we monitored a lot of your radio conversations! Let Brook in here of course. This is the most important part, and I know how tough it was! You came for a while! They would go away just when I was up and down days, but boy, right at the end, she was awsome.

Jeff Gorvette: Well, you know we made a decision we've gone 10 laps on tires, we said anytime we go 10 laps on tires that we're gonna pit and you know, Ray made the right decision just got us behind and once we got behind, I was pushed and I was loose! It was everything but perfict and then those guys busted off a stop got me out front and the car was perfict from there on so I figured "Hey! I just need to be up front! Is all it is!", but you know it took us a while to get back up there but again, we're here now DuPont country is glad. Really good to me right here at victory lane, man.

Spike: What about when you got a car? That's that good! You can take it pretty much here. You're clearly better than the rest of the feild in the last 100 miles or so maybe 150! You're out front! You start to hear gremlins?

Jeff Gorvette: Oh yeah! You know I mean all I was waiting for was a caution and I thought for sure there's a caution! Once we got inside ten laps, I thought we were pretty good but you know you never know in this business. I mean Piston Cup Racing, anything can happen and you know, luckily it went all the way we were hoping that it would.

Spike: Well, it was a lot more than luck! They had a perfict race car. Now John-Boy, I only want to tell you something if you're listening!

(Jeff Gorvette and Brook kiss each other)
