BOWYER QUOTE: “Really when it comes down to it at the end of the Sprint All-Star Race you only have to ask yourself one question – Did I win a $1 million? Tonight we didn’t and that’s really all that matters. Our 5-hour ENERGY Toyota was good at times, but it was pretty inconsistent. We had good pit stops. Hopefully we learned a little something for the 600-mile race next Sunday.”
