Congrats Guys!!!!!

Once we had our first penalty I was rooting for you all the way

Then when our motor seized I was ecstatic that y'all were in contention for the win.

To settle an old grudge, however, during my 2 hour stint on Sat, I DID pass you guys. Twice

Excellent work and glad you had great luck.

Thanks!

That score ain't settled :lol:

I know I passed your car once in the first stint

No, we let the car do all the talking since it passed over 1000 spectators over 500+ times. Plus, Dieter was probably the most photographed car in the garage. Heck, Tom even signed autographs on Saturday night! :wink:

Mike I especially appreciate the congats and the little jab about passing us twice, YOU did in fact pass us twice, that got you to 55 laps down instead of 57

Did I mention that we had 2hrs of penalties last year, live and learn,we did.

Don't you mean: "Even a broke clock is right twice a day"

We didn't really get an interview - Jay Lamm likes to do the talking

Let me say that the Apex Contract Carpets Asphalt Ventures Bolerjack's Racing Cline Hall Insurance Pets Companion Inn Vocus Dorifto Dogs BMW 325e didn't let us down all weekend.

Until we tried to start it after the awards ceremony and the clutch-ignition interlock stopped working :lol:

And another thanks to Chris Brown for being an awesome crew chief. When he didn't tell Vincent that the leading Saab was off with a flat I said "I know you're a real cre chief now - you're lying to your driver"

Many people deserve thanks for the win - a lot of hands touched the car all through the prep work and every one made it such a stout runner. Ryan Holton, Dan Durusky, Aaron Buckley - THANKS! (and sorry if I forgot anyone)

That is true, but the weakest link was driving - me!
