WILL POWER, NO. 12 VERIZON TEAM PENSKE CHEVROLET –RACE WINNER:
YOU SAID YOU LOVE WINNING ON OVALS. WHY ARE THEY MORE SATISFYING FOR YOU? “They just are because it’s something I have worked so hard on for the last few years. I love it man. I really enjoy racing on ovals now. I really do and I just wanted to win a short oval and today was just a perfect day. I led a lot of laps, the car was really good, but I was a bit iffy getting into the (pit) box a couple of times. It was one of those days though and I was really, really happy to be a part of this Verizon team.”

JEFF GORDON, NO. 24 AXALTA CHEVROLET SS – RACE WINNER
IT’S BEEN 13 YEARS SINCE YOU’VE BEEN TO VICTORY LANE HERE AT MICHIGAN. YOU HAD TO ASK WHERE IT WAS. ON THE RESTARTS:
“It wasn’t easy. It’s never easy to win at any of these tracks, especially when aerodynamics and track position mean so much. I thought we learned a lot the last time we were here on track position. Alan (Gustafson, crew chief) just called a perfect race. I kept getting on that inside lane and just not getting very good restarts. I knew it was going to get exciting with Kurt (Busch) and Joey (Logano). Those two are very, very aggressive; and of course Kurt got loose. That last restart was it. We had the car to win. Our car was amazing. But whoever got out in front had such a huge advantage. I got a good restart and Kevin (Harvick) for some reason, wasn’t getting good restarts, so Joey was sort of out there by himself and I was able to get to his quarter. When I got to his quarter, I dragged him back and I was able to shoot to the bottom and get by. But he made a heck of an effort. I thought he was going to get back by me; he almost did. And I just needed a couple of laps for my tires to come in and all of a sudden we were out front and setting sail and the checkered flag was waving. This is just unbelievably awesome. I’ve got to say hi to Ingrid and Ella and Leo back home. They couldn’t come today. But we’re celebrating your honor here and this is just amazing. This is fantastic.
