Jeff Gorvette: I know guys!

(victory lane)

Spike: Congratulations on the great difference! Somewhat of a gamble there on fuel!

Jeff Gorvette: Oh man! I tell ya! We had an awesome car all day today and that was a long run there! We knew we can make it on gas! I didn't think that the 88 could make it on gas! Hey, good shot man! Good job and so you know we did gamble but this car worked so good then I kept driving it too hard and I kind of wore my tires out there at the end, and Dale gave us a real fight, and when he got by me on, I thought you know thing all the way it was pretty much over but you look like a... I could stay with him. I didn't know if I could beat him but he got in the wall there a little bit around a lap car and you know I fought him for there on out but got a really thank DuPont Autofinishes, Lightyear tire today, Quicker State, Motorola. That's they're second Windham this year so we're real happy. We're proud and got a thank God. Even when he was suffering with me today.

Spike: Jeff, a handful of cars run out of fuel in that last lap including Dale Earnhardt. How much do you think you had left. I mean every damn said "it was gonna be very close".

Jeff Gorvette: Well, those guys are pretty accurate! You know when they tell me something I belive in them and I never saved fuel one time. I mean I ran as hard as I could. I have to save my tires more than anyting so I don't know! I bet it's pretty close if they say of course that means. It's close but you know that's what wins race is a great team like this. They can gamble. They can make close calls like that great pit stops all day long. I mean consistency was there and this is a great day. We're really proud of everybody invovled and it's great to be in victory lane and Darlington, man! This is wonderful.
