JOEY, WHAT HAPPENED TO END YOUR DAY EARLY?
The engine just blew up. When we came to that restart and I stepped on the gas, the engine just went flat. It wouldn’t go, and from there I was just waiting for it to blow on me.
HOW DISAPPOINTING IS THIS FOR YOU?
It’s really disappointing. I just don’t know when this bad luck is going to end for us. I mean, the car was awesome. I thought it would take 50 laps or so to come in but I was just catching guys and able to go right by them.
We just have to keep on trying. That’s all we can do. We don’t have any other choice.
