TONY GIBSON, CREW CHIEF, NO. 39 OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE CHEVROLET DRIVEN BY RYAN NEWMAN – Sidelined in accident on lap 191
WHAT HAPPENED?
“It (the crash) drove the frame into the motor and it’s just too far gone. We couldn’t fix it; not safe enough to go back out.”
WHAT DID RYAN NEWMAN SAY ABOUT THE NO. 42 (JUAN PABLO MONTOYA)?
“Well he just said somebody got into the left-rear of him and cut the left-rear tire. The lap before that he started getting really loose and then the very next lap, it just turned around on him. So, he didn’t say anything about the No. 42 car. I think we were going to spinout no matter what with that left-rear tire. By the time we saw it he has already spun. It’s a shame. The Outback Steakhouse is a great sponsor. We had finally gotten some track position to do something with it and we were a little bit tight, but we thought we’d be okay. It’s just misfortune. We’re rooting for the No. 14 (Tony Stewart) now; he’s doing pretty good.”
