Etienne Pancel: Glad to get a good result. We finally get place where we run. Sucks to see that happen to Chase [Smith], but now our luck seem to be turning and we might use this race to make better finishes next time out.
Donovan Chapman: Really proud of the Holliday Inc. guys behind me today for giving me a solid machine to work with. Just had to keep it out of trouble and the rest was easy. The results will come. A Top 10 is nice to take any day of the week. We're still a young team that needs time to grow into a winner.
Nico Bassanelli: Solid outing, I guess, but we fell off at the end. F***in' people weren't the best to race around and some of 'em left their heads at home too. Oh, well. We'll see what we can do at ICAR.
Andrew Egiziano: Man, this has really not given us the look we wanted. That damage really set us back and we never recovered. At least we finished. Just glad tonight's over...

Malte Arvidsson wins at Delaware, takes massive point lead
The 24 year-old Swedish rookie's debut in stock cars could not be off to a much better start, as he holds a point lead greater than an amount of points one can even gain in a single race.
"I am extremely pleased with our performance. I love these cars, I don't have to fear touching the other drivers. And apparently I am relatively talented behind the wheel of them too"
Arvidsson previously raced in Indy cars for the last 2 seasons after a failed foray in lower-tier Forumal divisions in Europe. At ages 18 and 19 he ran impressively enough in German Touring Car to warrant a ride in F2, but ran mediocre at best. His talents seem best suited for oval racing, despite a lack of experience in the discipline.
Following yet another blown engine, Griffin Sharp was seen by fans and columnists packing what looked to be bags. Sharp was visibly frustrated and it is unclear what exactly he was stuffing in those bags. He was not reached for comment and hasn’t spoken since the race. More to come.
