Chase Briscoe — winner: “At the end, that was way harder than it needed to be. Man, what an incredible Toyota. It was fun to finally be behind the wheel of it. So cool to win two Southern 500s in a row. This is my favorite race of the year.”
Tyler Reddick — second: “The one time we got ahead of (Briscoe), we were just a little too tight, and he was able to get back by us. I think he were better than he was on long runs, he could just fire off a lot better. That was the difference tonight. I could get close. It unfortunately seemed that last run, the balance wasn’t quite as good as it’s been. Overall a really solid night for points in the playoffs. But man, yeah, I really want to win here. It’s frustrating to finish second going for it. I wish I could have been just a little bit closer.”
Erik Jones — third: “I felt like we were probably a little bit better than both of them. I just couldn’t get the run. I thought I had (Reddick) there with five to go, there was a little bit of a hole, and he filled it. Hard to be that close, we were right there all day. Hopefully we keep these cars rolling and get one soon.”
Bubba Wallace — sixth: “I was doing my best not to overdrive the croners the last couple of laps. Good day for our team. Great playoff run and just solid execution. We had a couple of mistakes on pit road, I had a couple of mistakes on the track, and we were able to rebound really well. Hats off to Toyota.”
Denny Hamlin — seventh: “It’s just an execution type of race, and we’ve seen how difficult passing can be with this car at this track. It’s a monumental task going from 23rd in Stage 2 with that bad stop to come back with a top 10. It just took the entire time to get back there. I would have loved our shot with a clean day, but that’s the difference between winning and losing in NASCAR.”
