TERRY COOK POST RACE QUOTES -

       "We thought we had a shot at winning this race," said Cook. "Unfortunately, we had a right front tire punctured forcing us to pit for right side tires at Lap 116 which put us a lap down. It's unfortunate for this Power Stroke Diesel team because we had solid pit stops all night and a solid truck. We were fighting tight handling conditions most of the evening, but this Power Stroke Diesel Ford team kept adjusting on the truck until it got much better.
       "At one point during the race, we elected to stay out as the leaders began to pit around Lap 99 looking to lead a lap," continued Cook. "It was a great call by crew chief Rick Ren because when the next caution fell immediately after those trucks darted down pit road, they were put a lap down. We were running in the Top-5 by then and man did we have a good truck. It's just unfortunate because we were thought that we had a strong shot at winning this race."
