Richmond NASCAR Race Quotable Quotes: What The Drivers Said

Here’s a sampling of driver quotes from Saturday night’s NASCAR race at Richmond International Raceway:

“We suck right now. I am embarrassed about how bad our stuff is. ... There are three organizations that are kicking our rear ends right now something awful; it is going to be a long year if we race like this.” – Tony Stewart, who finished ninth.

“We got the car on such a knife’s edge that we make an adjustment and it helps and the next time we make the same adjustment it just kills it again. I was frustrated at times. Mike (Shiplett, crew chief) did a good job staying calm because I wasn’t very good at that.” – AJ Allmendinger, who finished seventh.

“Every time Montoya has damage, you see who did it, they usually end up getting wrecked. ... I like him, I think he’s a helluva driver, but you can’t wreck everyone every time you get in an accident.” – Denny Hamlin on the Juan Pablo Montoya/Ryan Newman incident.

“I had a pretty good car and it was the first time at this place that I have had that good of a car.” – Greg Biffle, who finished 15th.

"It was killer, man. It was painful, I'm telling you. I didn't have anything to do. I was kind of lost. I kept looking around: 'Man, what's next on my schedule? Where am I supposed to be right now?' I swore I was forgetting something." – Race winner Kyle Busch, on his restlessness after not running the Nationwide race.

“It was a fun night. This is my favorite track to come to. The last couple of years we have really struggled, but it was fun tonight to have a car that could pass some cars. ... Fast cars can find their way to the front.” – David Ragan, who finished fourth.

“A very frustrating, long night for us. ... We probably had the strongest car running laps down at the end, but when you get more than one lap down, your day is pretty much done. That was certainly the case for us here tonight. We just weren’t very good tonight.” – Kurt Busch, who finished 22nd.
