“We were really working to get around Alexander [Rossi]. We had the speed to get by him, but I just pushed it too hard into [Turn] 1. If you get too high in Turn 1 or 2, you’re not likely to save it. I got up there earlier and got away with it, but not this time. I just lost the front and smacked the rear. It was completely my fault; I was just pushing really hard. Sorry to the 28, DHL guys. We deserved to be somewhere in the top 10, and certainly not going home early.”
