Bryce Miller: "The Marquis Jet car ran super today, and Farnbacher Loles did a great job to set it up. It was my second race in the RSR, so I haven't paid my dues so much for a result like this. But these two guys have been knocking on the door and it's good to be here and share it with them. They're both world-class drivers and they deserve it and I'm just glad to be a part of it. The last couple of laps were just amazing driving by Dirk."
Dirk Werner: "After the last caution, the tires were right there. I thought, 'Okay on the last lap, you have to try something.' I got a little bit lucky because Mika tried to overtake his teammate, and he [the teammate] couldn't see him, so he brake-checked him and I could dive to the inside. The next three corners were really amazing because Mika was right on my bumper. I think he just wanted to try everything. When he saw an advantage in turn five, he braked even later than I did and he couldn't make it and spun out.
"But that was really an awesome race. The key that put us in the position to win was the pit strategy. We came from fifth to second on the last caution when everybody pitted. Then the car was really good - nobody other than Mika and I could go the pace in the end. I'm really proud we managed to get our first win in our first ALMS season with Farnbacher Loles."
Richard Westbrook: "I had a lot of issues! I got in the car and the pit-speed limiter wasn't working, so as soon as I left the pits, I got the call from the pit lane saying that I had a penalty. So I had to come in and serve the penalty. Then the guys on the pit wall made a great decision - because I was last in the queue, they said to come in for fuel. Then I had a really, really good stint. The car was just so good. I think that was the key to our result today - we had a car that was really, really stable. Our strategy was superb and when I handed over the car to Dirk, the guys did their job. And Dirk's last few laps were amazing."
