At that point, I thought our race was over. But we didn't give up.

It's a fact. If you have too many failures in a 24-hour race, you are not going to win. It has always been like this. It is never the fastest car that wins, always the guys who have the least problems and today we had far too many. I came here to win the race and I pushed. I put everything into it. At one point, we were nine laps down and came back. Everyone one of us drove qualifying laps every lap. We are really disappointed.

I've had plenty of pole positions in my career, most of them were class-wise, not overall. It's a big one for me here being on the pole for such a big race. It's also good for the guys. We have a brand new package with the Crawford and Porsche. The guys at Alex Job Racing worked really hard.

By far, it's definitely the biggest accomplishment I've had in a while. It's a prestigious race. It's the highest category for a race in the world. It's a big accomplishment. There's only four guys who wear a jersey every day so it sets you apart.

Dennis and I and Crawford had a heck of a race. One minute, I thought Dennis was going to win. Then I thought Crawford was going to win. Then I thought maybe I could win it. It was fun.

I can't believe it. I actually thought I had won the race. I tried very hard. Based on previous races with Dan, there was no way I was going to give him much room, but he beat me anyway. I guess it was not meant to be.
