Quotable: "The old race car was good," Overton said in victory lane. "I don't know what to say. We just did our job tonight: qualified good and just got ourselves in position to win. That's kind of how they're won now as long as you don't mess up in traffic, just keep your nose clean and keep the tires on 'er and don't do nothing stupid, it all works out."
