“Tempers flared after the race. In 13 laps Germain Racing lost two race trucks to the same competitor. The result was a rough situation and I want to apologize on behalf of myself and our race team to the NASCAR officials and NASCAR staff that were stuck in the middle. I also want to extend an apology to Ron Hornaday, Rick Ren and the folks at KHI as well as the race fans. Ron had a terrific race and a well-earned victory and what happened on pit road shouldn’t take away from the great performance put on by the 33 team,” said [Mike] Hillman Jr. of the post-race altercation between Germain Racing and another team on pit road.(Germain Racing PR)(9-15-2008)
