There weren't enough cautions to get the damage fixed early in the race. By the time we got the car working better, it was late in the race and we were already two laps down. It's a shame what has happened to us the past two weeks. But we'll bounce back. We've been through these bad streaks before. |
We've had a few wounded ducks during this period, but never threw in the towel. To have this kind of streak is a tribute to the crew for knowing how to react both quickly and efficiently when repair work needs to get done. |
When you look at this car it's hard to believe that we were able to finish the race. The Army Chevy is pretty well mangled -- it took a beating today. After the No. 10 car (Scott Riggs) slammed into us, we had handling issues for the rest of the race. Joe did a great job just to finish the race. |
You don't get points, money or trophies for a good test session. I like to stay even keel and make sure that we have every piece of the jigsaw [puzzle] in proper order when we return here next month. |
