How was your race?
“I mean, honestly, we had a pretty good Camry. We just had the pit road penalty that put us back and then put on the set right before Stage 2 there and would have been in the catbird’s seat to be right up there with the 9 (William Byron) and had a severe vibration. Even under yellow, it was shaking everything inside the car, so there was something up with that set and had to go to the back again and, you know, just there’s only so much you can do when it comes to catching the draft and once you lose the draft, we had to come from so far back that at that point we were pretty much done. It’s too bad. We probably should have really had a good day or been in victory lane had things played out the right way.”
