David Starr - No. 10 International MaxxForce Diesel Ford F-150 - (finished 4th, qualified 27th)
"Our International MaxxForce Diesel Ford F-150 was pretty awesome tonight and today.  It was pretty good when the race started, we were a little loose when we qualified earlier today, but our Ford F-150 was pretty good.  It was right there.  When we were pitting, we kept loosening the truck up because it was a little tight.  But Dennis Connor (crew chief) said the left side tires have absolutely no wear on them. Right before the last pit stop, Dennis made that great call and said only right side tires.  We were tight right through the center of the corner.  We knew that the left side tires didn't have much wear on them, we made a track bar adjustment and right side tires with air pressure adjustments.  We knew that if we had track position that we'd have a shot at it.  And the truck came alive and I wasn't able to hold off the guys that had four Goodyears on.  Travis (Kvapil) did a heck of a job.  I think he only took two right side tires and (Ron) Hornaday and (Mike) Skinner, they could hold it better on the bottom.  It was a great day for Circle Bar Racing and my teammate Rick Crawford.  He had a great day.  I think there were four or five Fords in the top-10.  It was a good day for Ford and Circle Bar Racing.  It feels good to be back in the top-five, where we belong."

The temperature was a factor here today. What is it like from the drivers seat? "I always say that you've got to be on top of your game, obviously.  I train in the middle of the day, back in Texas when it's real hot.  I run in the middle of the day and try to workout outside when it's hot.  You have to take advantage for situations like we were in today.  The only thing that hurt me was that I was on my back for the past six days with the flu.  After qualifying, I went to the emergency care center just to get some fluids in me.  I felt good, it's the best I felt all week long, but I just needed a little bit more spark.  It wasn't too bad when I was out there.  It didn't bother me.  I know it was hot all day, but it felt pretty good inside the truck."

Awwwwww.......Poor David...Hope He is MUCH Better..
