“Disappointing night. I was pushing really hard on old tires under Tony Kanaan for second and the car just came around on me – just snapped completely and we went a lap down (after spinning off into the grass). I thought I had some suspension issues on the rear, which ended up just being flat-spotted tires from the spin. We never got our lap back, so that’s where we wound up. It’s unfortunate because the DHL car was good tonight… Another one got away. Was hoping to end the season on a higher note but, nonetheless, I have to thank all the fans for the support this season as well as everyone at DHL and Honda. We’ll come back stronger than ever in 2015.”
Congratulations on a very successful year RHR and the #28DHL team! Looking forward to another exciting year in 2015!
