LONNIE, HOW WOULD YOU SUM UP YOUR DAY?<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just missed it a little bit on the setup. I kept it too freed up. I didn’t want to tighten it up any (for the feature), but we got really free in, really free off. I had to change my lines, because I just couldn’t get any drive off the corners. I killed them in middle of the turn, but I just couldn’t get off. I couldn’t even get wide open on the straightaways without spinning the tires.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe got up to third early, and I really ran about 80 percent to get there. Then I had a long green flag run, and it just started getting too free. I had nothing at the end.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can’t wait to go back in a couple weeks. The car was good in practice, good in the heat race. We just had a really good car.\u201d<\/p>\n

AND NOW YOU FINISH THE SEASON WITH THREE TRACKS YOU’VE BEEN TO ALREADY THIS SEASON.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know we’ll be better when we go back in two weeks, and that’s the good thing. Most of these places you go once, then you have to wait until next year to see what you learned. But places like White Mountain, Beech Ridge we get to go more than once. Same going back to Oxford. The next three races are at tracks where we’ve been good \u2013 we won at Beech Ridge, had a great car and just waited a little too long at Oxford, and the White Mountain.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can’t wait.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
