OREANDA-NEWS. “We had a great car.  Todd Gordon and this Shell/Pennzoil team, all of Team Penske, you always want to win it.  Charlotte is everybody’s home turf and you want to make it happen here.  What a great car.  We led a ton of laps and I just have to thank Ford and Shell and AutoTrader, SKF, Coca-Cola – everyone that supports what we’re doing.  This makes Talladega way easier.  I know that’s on everyone’s mind when this round starts and last year we won Kansas when it was the first race of this round and now we were able to get it this time at Charlotte.  We’ll get lots of sleep here the next couple of weeks.”  WHY DID IT WORK FOR YOU HERE TODAY?  “Because what we did before didn’t work.  We were trying something different and Todd did a good job.  We’ve struggled here the last three or four years and this week we obviously made some good changes to our race car and had a very fast race car.  This helps us recharge our batteries and get ready for the next round and come out swinging for that one.”  WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BEAT THE 4 CAR LIKE THAT?  “I think everyone saw how fast he was last week and it probably made a lot of people nervous, but our team kept their heads up and stayed confident.  We know we can beat them.  We know we’ve got what we need over here and our team is as tight-knit as they get.  I’m proud of them.  I couldn’t be more proud of them.  We had a lot of money stops today to keep us out front.  The pit stops were great and I couldn’t be more proud of what they’re doing right now.”
