KEVIN HARVICK QUOTE:
"We struggled terribly today, but we were able to make something out of it. The Budweiser team kept at it all day, and I'm proud of the guys for all their hard work this weekend. We've got a lot of work to do when we come back to New Hampshire Motor Speedway in the fall, but we know what we need to fix and we'll work with our teammates to get things figured out."
