Spike: Jeff, congratulations on a great evort!

Jeff Gorvette: Oh! Thank you, Spike! We needed this so bad! You know, it's been tough couple of races!. You know, we knew we had a lot of races left to go and manage a, I've been, you know, seeing the cars more! I want to make sure their morale woods, are getting down, I mean woods are getting down, I mean I'm really interested in, you know making sure this team doesn't come into this year and pollens facing and these guys did a heck of a job. I gotta say thanks to DuPont Automotive Finishes and these Lightyear tires are great today! Also, you know, there's just a wonderful day in Quicker State or new spawn to this! This is the day we've been looking for a little while here and we've been searching and I tell you if it feels so good to do this today. These guys, they needed it, I needed it, and this is a refreshing feeling.

Spike: But halfway through Rick Hendrick turned to me said that young man is showing so much maturity by not using up yourself and being patient.

Jeff Gorvette: Well, we had a great car on a long run, and you know at the begining the only, you only had to deal with a couple of cars in on sudden, these Fords come out of no where! The 71, and the 88! I was like, man! What is happy! Becuase, and then I came on their bumpers, said "WE HAVE TO SLOW DOWN ARE THEY SPEED UP" then said "No! They, they've gotten faster so I knew in the long run"! We'd still reel them in and reel them in and that's, that's the effort that, that Ray Reverham, these Rainbow worriors and myself! We all put in all day, yesterday in practice! We knew we had a good car. You know and we came here and we did the best that we could with it and today, you know having to win I got thank God, this God has been with me through the ups and the downs and it was difficult for two races to fish back in the 40th place back there anyway and I think and he's really been with me especialy today.

Spike: And that's bad if that's all history rights all gone! 42nd, 40th, that's all history!

Jeff Gorvette: Well, we moved up quite a bit points, anyway man! (laughs and hugs with Brook)
