An Interview with:

Q. Your meeting with Derrick Finley was about 30 seconds this week. You said, I just want to be on offense all night long. How did you find it in yourself to make that happen?

RYAN PREECE: I'm just speechless right now. But those guys, that 60 group, we're fighters. When you put our back against the wall, we swing hard. So thank you to OIKOS, thank you to Kroger, to RFK, Jack Roush, the Fenway Group. Brad Keselowski. Last year there were a lot of keyboard warriors saying I was nothing. Well, we just kicked their butts tonight.

Q. Was there honestly a doubt in your mind as you were going to the green-white-checkered at the end of stage one, got in the wreck?

RYAN PREECE: It's a testament of how prepared these race cars are, man. I'm a racer. I know what it takes to build speed. So every man and woman at RFK, thank you for giving me a rocket ship so I could go to the moon tonight.

Q. Is this redemption here at Daytona?

RYAN PREECE: This is redemption.
