Obviously it's not the way you want to win your first race, in the rain, but 20 years down the road when you look in the record books, no one will know the difference. I'll take them any way I can." Jeff Gordon spoke of his happiness that he could challenge for the victory, "I wasn't very good on the restarts and those guys there, the #2 [Busch] and the #14 [Stewart] and the #48 [Johnson] got me but I could ride right there with him. Then my pit crew, they did the job in the pits and they were phenomenal and got us out front."

Poston, spokesperson for NASCAR, said the organization supported the idea of consistent times for the start of races. He planned to talk about the idea with the sport's broadcasters. Kyle Busch apologized for causing the eight-car crash that stopped the race on lap 175, "I got into Martin and I hate it for him and Jeff Burton and those guys. It was just hard racing on a restart.

Truex said he felt Kyle Busch should have slowed, "Kyle just lost his head like he usually does when something bad happens. He decided he wasn't going to lift, he was going to turn me on the straightaway for no good reason at all." Burton said he felt the accident was a consequence of NASCAR's rules on double-file restarts, "I don't think the fans want to see more wrecks.
