********************
BRENT, WHAT HAPPENED ON LAP 46?
I don’t really know what happened. We got turned around, and then we tore the nose off the car. It still drove good. We drove back up to, I think, a Top-10 finish or close to it.
It tore the front nose cone off of it. It didn’t really hurt anything other than that.
IT SEEMED LIKE A FRUSTRATING DAY ALL THE WAY AROUND.
Yeah, a little bit. We had a really good car. I think we could have finished in the Top-5 easy enough.
It started off pretty good. We had a really good car in the race. I was just sort of riding, trying to save some tires for the end of the race, and then we ended up getting turned around. We definitely had a Top-5 car easily, so we’ll just have to go get them next week.
