Kyle Busch

Press Conference

An Interview with:

Q. I don't know where to start with this one. Kyle Busch winning at Pocono. Have you ever had a more bizarre win in your life? Stuck in fourth gear for a hundred some laps.

KYLE BUSCH: Yeah, stuck in fourth gear. About out of gas (laughter). Just saving, just riding, playing the strategy the best we could with what was given to us.

Just can't say enough about everybody on my team, everybody at Joe Gibbs Racing, Toyota, TRD, all the work they're putting in. Sometimes these races aren't always won by the fastest car, but I felt we had the fastest car. Even though we were in the back and behind and having to come through and persevere through being stuck in fourth gear, no clutch, all that stuff. It's all burned out. Nothing left in this M&M's Minis Camry.

It was awesome today. Thanks to Rowdy Energy, Interstate Batteries, Stanley, Reem, everybody that works on this car. A lot of our M&M's friends are here today, so it's really cool to have them here back at the track. Thanks to Rowdy Nation, all the Kyle Busch fans up there supporting and pulling for us. Really great to pull off another win here at Pocono. Feels good.

Q. At one point you were like, Should we pack it up and head home today? At what point did that switch for you?

KYLE BUSCH: You know, I don't know. You don't know, you know? The biggest thing was trying to time the restart right. Leave pit road, come back around, be at full speed by the time the field takes the start/finish line. We were a little bit off on that. We were from here to pit road off on that. That's about all we could do. That's all you could think about doing in that situation, just thinking through any opportunity and obstacle that's on you. That's just what we did.

Again, great job to my team. Thanks to Ben Beshore. Thanks to Matt the fuel guy for getting it full. That's a big important one today. Really great to take home another checkered flag.
