JOHNNY, ARE YOU DISAPPOINTED TO SEE YOUR WINNING STREAK COME TO AN END?

Well, you can’t win them all. I mean, you’d like to, but to finish second in the big picture isn’t that bad for us.

YOUR CAR NEVER SEEMED TO COME TO LIFE.

We just were too tight. The got the car pretty good at one point for the start of the race, but it just kept getting tighter. I knew pretty much at the beginning that we were going to be in a little trouble.

I took the lead for a little bit at one point, but Ben was definitely better than us tonight. I don’t know if we had been on like we’d been the last few races if we couldn’t have beaten him, but we just weren’t as strong.
