[Etc.: Jarrett, who has led only two laps this season, has finished 14th or worse in his last eight races to drop out of the top 10.] What we have to do now is get to the point where we can call ourselves a top-10 team, ... Right now, we can't do that.

I wasn't a lap down and, as we've seen, a lot of these races end under 'green-white-checkered,' and there's no free pass in the last 10 laps. I've got to try to stay in front of the leader to try to make sure I give myself a chance to earn as many points as I possibly can.

Hopefully, in these next nine races we can see some good things that are going to happen for the entire organization. That's what all this was done for.

This pretty much seals our fate in regards to making the Chase, ... We went for so long this season without having issues like this. I guess we're due.

I'm focused on the season and winning races, so I'm not interested in a stunt like this.
