News Reporter: Stephanie Porter-Kelley got a 9th place today here in Kentucky. Not bad considering and you are still very much in the title hunt. How was the race in the car?
Stephanie Porter-Kelley: The race was pretty difficult to climb from the back. It wasn't unexpected, we had some pretty scary moments, but we survived and got into the top 10 with some strategy.
News Reporter: This race saw double file restarts for the second time this season, and unlike in Homestead, it drew criticism here. You've been on both sides of the double file. What was your opinion?
Stephanie Porter-Kelley: My opinion hasn't changed. It gives those that are a lap down the ability to race back on the lead lap, which means everything at the ovals. I like the way VRR has it, where it only happens on the 1.5 mile tracks and the superspeedways outside of Indy. It brings more competitiveness to the races, and that's what the fans want to see. They don't come to see a FICA snoozefest, so I think VRR is on the right side of the line here.
News Reporter: Rumors are running rampant that Bosnia will be getting a race next year. Any news?
Stephanie Porter-Kelley: Not really. VRR has more than I do.
News Reporter: Mid-Ohio next weekend. How ready are you for another road course?
Stephanie Porter-Kelley: Very. We get to settle into our comfort zone before Indy. Next weekend is going to be critical for us.
