DEREK, HOW WAS YOUR RACE DAY?
We struggled the whole race. We were pretty fast in practice, and the car felt really good and comfortable. But the weather drastically changed, and it got really cool and overcast and the car was way off.
We were tight right off the bat (in the feature). We made a bunch of adjustments, but the car wasn’t reacting to anything we did. I don’t know if something was broken or not — we’ll have to go back and go through it and see if anything was wrong that we didnt’ find.
THERE DOESN’T SEEM TO BE ANY SOLACE IN THE TOP-10 FINISH.
To be honest, I’m not all that happy about it. I was bombing around in the back for most of the race. A bunch of cars must have been dropping out left and right for us to end up where we did.
As for passing cars, I didn’t do much of that at all. I just think there must be something wrong with this car.
