What drivers said at Nashville after Cup race won by Ryan Blaney
Ryan Blaney — winner: 'I never gave up hope, that's for sure. We've had great speed all year, just hasn't really been the best year for us as far as good fortune. The 12 boys are awesome. They stick with it no matter how it goes, and it was great to finish one out now.' Ricky Stenhouse Jr. — 39th: 'Lap or two before, (Carson Hocevar) tried to dive in there from about 10 car lengths back. That time, I just opened my entry a little bit, he overcharged the corner and just drilled us in the rear bumper. I'd say it's not out of the norm for him, but I definitely wasn't expecting that at that point in the race. Bummer for us. Our Camaro wasn't great, but we were making changes, and I felt like that restart, I was a little better than the run before. We were just burning our right rear tire off throughout the run. Bummed that our day ended like that. I'll definitely have something to do about it at one point. We'll go back to the shop and regroup. It's a busy couple of weeks for our team getting ready for Michigan and Mexico City. Those two races back-to-back, we have to have all four cars ready. We'll refocus and get ready for next weekend. As soon as these races are over, we focus on what's next. We'll try and bounce back strong next weekend and get back rolling.' Corey Heim — 36th: "'I'm pretty sure I just kind of cleared myself across the nose of (Brad Keselowski). A little bit too desperate. We were moving forward really quick and I had a lot of confidence in my Camry and thought I could clear him by the time I got to the wall, and just used too much racetrack, so sorry to those guys. It looks like I kind of ruined his day, too, and never want to do that. Just can't say enough about the speed we had. I think if we didn't start in 33rd, we could have been battling in the top 10. A lot of positives, just screwed it up on my part. Huge thank you to 23XI, Toyota. Definitely had a lot of fun, and looking forward to doing again.' WILL BE UPDATED
