### Victory Lane

Jerry Punch: Jeff Gorvette, congratulations! What a way to finish line going!

Jeff Gorvette: Thank you, Jerry. It was on a rail today! We had one time when we missed a little bit on it but you know we had a great pit stop! We, you know, we lost this thing in the pits here in February! My guys know it but they're strong! They fought back and they won this one force in the pit that gosh is out there first! I said "All us do is get me out first", and we could hold them off! I didn't want to see that caution concerned hearts! The best there is on restarts and Eugene and I were battling on the final lap and we would come across the finish first and it's awesome.

Jerry Punch: What was going through your mind when you saw the green and the white wave simultaneously? Why did you think Carburaski, the mean pink car we're gonna try to do with that final lap?

Jeff Gorvette: Well, Carburaski kept trying to pass me and I was good blocking him and you get out and get away and then he's got on the draft and he just blows behind me so I actually was letting up on the start! Eugene and I'd take off! I'd slow up a little bit, get behind me and trying to pass me, but I blocked him and you know then him and I start battling once I got stopped by sign news all over, but, hey, Gotta think that DuPont Automotive Finishes, Vitoline, N2O Cola, Pizza Planet, GMAC, man! She's a ton of people in me. Lightyear, man they had a great tire today! I'm really proud of this team! They did a great job! We haven't won here an official race and this is the one! This is the one to win!

Jerry Punch: That's about as officials! You could get his fourth win of the year! They call him Wonder Boy! How about bonus boy! He won two uncial bonus try beats boys his first win at Florida International Speedway!
