In post-race remarks, Muller commented, "Dunlop gave me a perfect tire. It was absolutely awesone, so the corners were really so much fun." Miner echoed the statement: "The tires were awesome. Dunlop is really behind us." Martin Birkmann, BMW of Nort America LLC motorsport manager, complimented the Dunlop team on its pre-season testing and development plan, adding, "We were very strong on both sets of tires on the 92 car, and, ultimately, that has helped us in securing our fist podium."
