TWO FORDS FINISH TOP-10 IN TAME ROAD RACE AT SONOMA

TWO FORDS FINISH TOP-10 IN TAME ROAD RACE AT SONOMA

MARCOS AMBROSE, No. 9 Stanley Ford Fusion (Finished 8th) – 'We really missed it. I just feel bad for my Stanley team. We missed it bad and we did good to recover and get a top-10 out of it. We will take it and move on. We got the pole and had a lot of speed; we just missed it for the race. We were slow. It was just terrible. We had no speed in the car and we paid the price.'

GREG BIFFLE, No. 16 3M Ford Fusion (Finished 7th) – 'We had a decent day but we were just too loose all day. We didn't have enough forward drive to turn the way we needed. We need to work on our road course program a little bit. Matt (Puccia) made a great call to salvage a good day for us. It is disappointing we can't run any better than we are.' HOW MUCH DID THE LONG GREEN FLAG RUN IMPACT STRATEGY FOR YOU GUYS? 'We committed to two stops at that point but it didn't really end up changing it a lot.'

CASEY MEARS, No. 13 GEICO Ford Fusion (Finished 15th) – 'I am real proud of everybody on our team. We had a good car all weekend but we were too loose in the high speed stuff which made it pretty difficult not to get passed in turn 10 and difficult to pass. Overall our speed was good and I was happy with the way the car drove. At the end we made a gutsy call running 16th and decided to stay out. That got us to seventh but the guys behind us lined up on tires we just were a sitting duck and couldn't go anywhere. We fell back all the way to 20-something and then at the end we got a chance to get tires and drove back to 16th. It was a solid day for us. I am proud of what everybody did here and we will just keep improving.'

DAVID RAGAN, No. 34 Green 1 High Performance Ford Fusion (Finished 27th) -'I think we had great strategy going if we didn't have those cautions there at the end. The guys saw that we were running a lot of green flag laps at the beginning so we stayed out as long as we could and we were going to be good on two stops. When we had those final cautions that hurt us. We were still going to finish around 20th but that lap green-white-checkered I guess there was a wreck in front of us and pushed our nose and hood up where I couldn't see very well. Unfortunate to lose those spots at the end and our team did a nice job we just didn't get a lot of breaks at the end.'
