Matthew Cowley, Team Pelfrey:
"I knew there were yellows down at turn four because of an incident earlier in the race. So I knew to win I had to be first on the back stretch. I made a move on Zach going up into turn two and held it from there."
Zach Holden, K-Hill Motorsports
"On the last lap, I was in the lead but going into turn two Matthew kind of faked me out. I looked in my mirrors and didn't look where I was braking and went in too deep. I'll take a second."
Lance Fenderson, K-Hill Motorsports
"It was a bit chaotic near the end. There was an incident in turn five that helped me out. I thought I had something for them but I wish we should have gotten the win."
Joe Colasacco, Auriana Racing:
"It was the pace we wanted to have all weekend. We had some trouble early today but it was fun to race with the kids. I have to figure out if I ever want to stick my nose in there with the young guys. They are fun and racing clean and have great car control. I want to thank my crew for putting the car back together after impacting the wall earlier."
The Series next heads to Indianapolis, June 8-11.
