We were testing too close to an event. We didn't have time to react once we got the cars back to the shop to make changes of any substance.

It's hard to place blame on anybody when you're racing in a pack that is that close with the speeds those guys are running out there. For the most part they all do a pretty good job. All it takes is one little slip-up by somebody or by two or three people, you're going to have a heck of a crash. It's just unfortunate.

It will by the time we're done today.

It's great to be back. I have been looking forward to coming to Bristol probably for the first time in my career.

To build a good super speedway car, it will take you about three months' time. We used every bit of that to try to get this car built. … Literally, the paint was still wet on it when we loaded it on the truck Thursday.

We stuck to our game plan, even when it was painful at times. We wanted to go test, we just knew it wasn't time to start that just yet.
