It's not like this is the first year it's been like this; it's been like that for 30 years,

I don't think we can blame the track. It's bumpy for everybody and not everybody is having the same problem.

We're just working towards qualifying and trying to find the best setup for the Team 7-Eleven car.

I would say the race was hard, but it was easier than my qualifying lap. But definitely, once I got in the lead, it was a little bit different because I was controlling the pace. I could push for a lap, rest for an actual lap, push for another lap, so forth and so forth.

I kind of saw it coming, and then Ryan flew up in there, hit the curb and hit Danica, ... I was concerned, so concerned something like that could happen I hung back ... because we had such a good car.

I don't know what happened. I think I hit the overtake button, which is supposed to move you forward, and the engine slowed down. It's my word against yours. You can only believe what I say.
