I had trouble getting the tires clean, and kind of let (Scott) Dixon slip away. I thought, the first couple laps […]

“It was a good race all day. When we were all mixed up in traffic, the 28 car was really strong – but once it started stringing out, we just didn’t have it. We really fought hard, but we just didn’t have the speed in the end. But the bigger problem was the lapped traffic. […]
