Del Worsham, CSK Nitro Funny Car ON HIS DAY AFTER JOHN FORCE TOOK THE TOP SPOT - "We were right there with all the humans in the field, basically running the same as (No. 3 qualifier) Eric Medlen on that run, but that other guy, Force, had to bust everyone's bubble with a 4.69 right at the end," he said. "On top of that, right up until he ran we had taken over the track speed record with our 327 mph. He ran 328 with the 4.69, so that's like taking your wallet and stepping on your foot, all at the same time."
.
Tim Wilkerson, Levi-Ray-Shoup Pontiac Funny Car ON THE RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS CAR - "I can't tell you that I'm doing anything right, but I was so ticked off after the last two races. I could keep telling the car what to do and it keeps telling me no, so I decided to start listening to it."

.
Courtney Force, Super Comp Racer ON FILMING THE "DRIVING FORCE" REALITY SHOW - “I was really excited about it right away, then I got scared later.
