Quotes:

MIKE REUPERT
Third Place
"The car was handling fairly well. The Goodyears I used were a combination I had not tried before, and they worked. I had a slow start because, first of all, I was jumped, and then I took it easy getting used to the new tires. More than that, I had trouble steering. For some reason, my driving gloves could not grip the wheel. My hands kept sliding on the wheel. It took me a long time to get used to it. I caught up with the leaders, then hit traffic and fell back. Then I had to do it all over again. I drove as hard as I could. Finally Miller got caught up in traffic and I was able to get by him. It was a good clean race. This is my 11th year in a row that I have driven this same chassis. It is an old Lola T-540 with an engine that we designed, cast, and built ourselves. In fact, we've never even named it, so I don't know what you'd call it."

BRUCE SUNSERI
Second Place
"I felt the presence of Miller and Reupert all race long. I lost a lot of time in the Keyhole. I couldn't get my car to handle there. The car understeered more and more as the race went on and I couldn't keep up with Al."

AL BEASLEY JR.
2000 National Champion
"The car was perfect. I thank my dad for letting me drive his car. This is only the second time I've ever driven it. It is a 1986 Decker with a Yamaha engine. My brother Ben built a new body for it, and Dad prepared the motor. The car was set up just right. It ran perfectly. The Hoosier tires were quite good. Whoever gets the right setup on the right day will win, and today was mine!"
