“Definitely a tough finish tonight for the No. 2 Miller Lite Ford. We had loose lug nuts after the second stage and having to come back down pit road to tighten those definitely altered our strategy. We just have to regroup this coming week and be better for the 600.”

+ A LOOSE HANDLING DEUCE KEPT BRAD FROM CHALLENGING FOR THE LEAD IN THE OPENING SEGMENT OF THE RACE, BUT HE DID MOVE FROM 7TH TO 5TH BY THE END OF THE SEGMENT.
+ AFTER THE 2 FINISHED SEGMENT 2 IN 7TH, CREW CHIEF PAUL WOLFE MADE THE CALL TO PUT THE OPTIONAL GOODYEAR RADIAL TIRES ON THE MILLER LITE FORD, ONLY TO FIND THAT THE CAR HAD A LOOSE LUG AFTER LEAVING PIT ROAD. WHEN HE RETURNED THE CREW PUT PRIMARY TIRES BACK ON THE CAR AND BRAD RESTARTED NEAR THE BACK OF THE FIELD.
+ NASCAR RULED THAT BECAUSE THE RADIALS HAD ALREADY BEEN PLACED ON THE CAR, THE COULD NOT BE RE-USED, LEAVING BRAD STUCK ON OLD TIRES FOR THE FINISH OF THE RACE. THOUGH HE RESTARTED FROM THE FRONT, HE SPUN ON THE RESTART AND NEARLY WRECKED, BEFORE SAVING THE CAR AND GLIDING TO A 9TH PLACE FINISH
