Driver David Miller: I was planning on getting him out of there, and if (Secret Agent Man) got out of there on the right foot, or (Private Access), I would have tripped him out. But he got out of there good and (Private Access) was wanting to follow him. I tried to go as easy as I could. He felt strong and then he fought (Private Access) off at the end.

On people looking forward to the final and matchup with Karl – It’s going to be a great race. It’s going to be a great matchup and a great race as always. I’m very excited too.
