SEBASTIEN BOURDAIS, NO. 11 TEAM MISTIC E-CIGS – KVSH RACING CHEVROLET, RACE WINNER: TALK ABOUT THAT RUN TO THE END: “It was just about as nerve wracking as it gets. When we elected to stay out, I was like ‘Oh man, it is all or nothing’ from there. All I could hope for was just the same scenario as NOLA. Complicated conditions and one yellow after another and it was the right call today again. The difference is that we obviously deserved it I think because the boys worked really hard. We were on pace; we passed a bunch of cars and made the moves when it mattered. We made it stick all the way to the end. When we got on the Firestone red tires, I was like ‘Boy, that is way too early’. There was half-way of a groove. Just felt like it was such a risky move. But, I knew it was the right one, just like yesterday. I just couldn’t be any happier that we made it stick.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–INDYCAR–Belle Isle Post Race →

SO YOU GUYS WERE SO LOW ON FUEL YOU COULDN’T MAKE IT BURNOUT? “No I just had too much grip from the Firestone tires. I couldn’t spin the rear wheels.”

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO YOU BECAUSE YOU GUYS HAVE WORKED SO HARD TO GET THIS TEAM BACK WHERE IT NEEDED TO BE “Yeah, it’s just a heck of a feeling. After yesterday’s debacle where we couldn’t get it more wrong yesterday and today, well we did everything wrong yesterday but did everything right today. The strategy, the pit stops, the management of the fuel – the guys did awesome. I couldn’t be any happier for the Mystic guys, Hydroxycut, Circle K, and Chevrolet at home man!”

JIMMIE JOHNSON, NO. 48 LOWE’S PRO SERVICES CHEVROLET SS – Race Winner
THE CALL TO STAY OUT WITH OLD TIRES AND THREE DIFFERENT RESTARTS, HOW DID YOU HOLD THOSE GUYS OFF WITH NEW TIRES BEHIND YOU?
“Gosh, just driving hard and working that track bar adjuster as much as I could. I was trying to be smart with my line and I guess guys on two tires weren’t all that fast. Chad (Knaus, crew chief) said something to be about that on the radio and they never really came, you know? The No. 4 (Kevin Harvick) and I did just fine on old tires and held those guys off. It was a long-fought day. I’m so proud of this Lowe’s race team. A big shout out to those Pro Services members at Lowe’s and everyone at Chevrolet; and Valvoline, and the fans and my fans. It was just an awesome day here at the race track. The grandstands are full. Thank you, Sprint. And we’re going to enjoy this.”

YOU ARE A 10-TIME WINNER HERE NOW AT DOVER. TODAY WAS ABOUT 90 DEGREES. THE HUMIDITY WAS OFF THE CHARTS. HOW KEY IS YOUR CONDITIONING IN PERFORMANCES LIKE THIS AND YOUR SUCCESS AT THIS RACE TRACK?
“It certainly plays a role. I don’t doubt that at all. It helps me learn about my hydration and nutrition and getting ready. I rode 52 (miles) yesterday; I’m not sure that was the smartest thing to do, but I know what I’m capable of and felt just fine doing it. And, I’ve got a great rhythm. I’ve got great support at home. I want to thank Chani; I wish she were here. And ‘hi’, to my little girls sitting on the couch, watching. I’ll be there soon and can’t wait to see them.”
