How did you make it back to the top-10 after the first lap contact?
“I don’t know. I’m just really lucky that the things that were broken – well everything is bent – but everything that was broken, we could fix and be at least halfway competitive after that. When we have a fast DEX Imaging Supra and it goes out the window on lap one, it’s frustrating, but the way our team rallied today is really commendable. I’m really proud of our guys for their attention to detail and ability to get us right so that we could finish ninth. When I was about three feet in the air – or however high I was – and you would have said I would finish ninth today, I would have taken it. Just thankful for my race team. I will have to look and see what happened to see what I could have done differently. It’s frustrating, but exciting at the same time. I’m proud of our team and ready to go to Michigan.”
