An Interview with:

Q. Austin, you have been so close here at Talladega and Daytona since the Daytona 500 win. Now you finally get another one.

AUSTIN CINDRIC: Just so proud of this team, from the cycles, to the fast cars, the fuel-only stops, Doug my spotter. I've been trying for probably three or four years to get a Cup win for Menards and John Menards.

That bright yellow car looks great up front. I'm thankful for everyone's support. The Ford Performance, Roush-Yates engine packages at these type of racetracks are second to none.

We talk about in every single one of these meetings why we haven't won one of these races. Just really proud of the effort and very thankful for Discount Tires, NAPA, Auto Trader, Roger Penske, everybody that makes this possible for me.

Q. You had the quickest pit stop on the last cycle that helped you get the lead. You have to hold all these guys coming to the start/finish line. What was going on as you were coming off of turn four?

AUSTIN CINDRIC: It definitely was not easy. I give a lot of credit, Kyle did a lot to take care of me, pushing me at the right times in the tri-oval. As mad as I was at him after Atlanta, I feel like we're good now. That was great.

Having a photo finish at Talladega, to be able to do it, get in the Playoffs in front of this amazing crowd on a beautiful day in Alabama.
