Winning driver Paul MacDonell, celebrating his first Cup win, said about the crowd’s roaring ovation as Somebeachsomewhere cruised to the wire, “It sends chills up my spine. I could feel everyone behind us and supporting leading up to this week, everybody in the country. and in the United States just love this horse. He’s the whole show. Once he got to the half in 54 4/5, he was pretty much on air. He got the breather he needed. I just left him pace down the lane and he just loved to stretch out.”
