Quotable: “At the beginning of the race, B.J. (Robinson), he smoked us all there at the first half of the race anyway,” Moyer said. “We moved around, moved around and I just felt like (the track) was going away down there a little bit, at least for my car. I kept kinda watching that outside, watching that outside and on that one restart it was getting to the part of the race where it was time to go, so we went for it.”
