********
BRADLEY, WHAT HAPPENED?
It was the first lap – Take 2, I guess. I just saw four or five cars spinning around. They started to go high, so I went low. Then they started coming back low, and I did everything I could do. There was just nowhere to go. Next thing I knew, I was almost upside down.
It’s no big deal – well, it is a big deal – but there’s nothing we can do about it.
DID YOU HAVE TIME TO SEE HOW GOOD THE CAR WAS?
No, we ran half a lap twice. You’re just getting the thing into high gear, and that’s about it.
YOU HAD A ROUGH DAY OVERALL, INCLUDING THAT SPIN IN QUALIFYING.
Yeah, and I don’t even know what happened there. I got run into and got turned around, I guess. It’s just cosmetic damage I think. We don’t think anything is bent, but it still sucks, because everything’s expensive to fix. Oh well.
IS IT TOO EARLY TO SAY YOU’RE OUT OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP PICTURE AFTER A NIGHT LIKE THIS?
I don’t look at it that way. Even last week, I didn’t really have that much fun here. I know I’d rather be doing something different on nights like this.
I don’t know what to say.
