What happened in the race with the contact between yourself and Erik Jones?
“It was a ‘wreckfest’, I don’t know what to say. Really unfortunate. We had a very hard first half of the race and we were just pretty off with the balance. Finally kind of got it decent and we were a top-five car and then that happened. I don’t really have a lot to say.”
ERIK JONES, No. 20 Reser’s Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing
Finishing Position: 33rd
What happened that took you out of the race?
“I just made a mistake. I basically turned the 19 (Daniel Suarez). It’s unfortunate, I feel bad for Daniel and I feel bad for this team and my guys. The Reser’s Camry was really good and it deserved a good finish and was probably good enough to win. I just threw it away on that restart and tried to make too much happen too quick. Just trying to get back in line behind them before the others got there and I wasn’t clear. Just mad at myself.”
