We didn't have the best car all day, but we had the best car when it counted. We led the right (lap) . . . the last one.
We just came on at the right time. We didn't have the best car, but we had the best car when it counted.
We live that from the day that it happened until right now. Everybody wants to forget, but you can't. You go out and try to do the best you can and carry the legacy forward.
Right now life is good. But life can go bad in a hurry. The best thing to do is enjoy it while you can, then move on to the next race.
I thought we had the best car, but anytime you have cautions, it gives an opportunity to the guys behind you to get into the back bumper, ... It would have been nice to not see the cautions. We were just fortunate to have a car that went on restarts and worked on long runs.
We just had one run today where we got off, we got really tight all of a sudden. Once we got back there in bad track position, it just really killed us because it was really hard to pass. It was a great day for our Chevrolet. We were good all day, just that one run got us back a little bit.
First off, it's a great way to get some race practice in before qualifying and the big one the next weekend,
There's something different between having a little bit of beef with somebody and taking the chance of letting someone get hurt.
Right now the main focus is on getting off to a good start. That obviously has to be addressed at some point during the season, but I'm pretty much staying firm on the April date, myself and Richard.
Everybody wanted to be in it. We gave it everything we had and we'll just keep trying.

Everyone wants to perform. It's just that there are a lot of things going on that are not going to happen overnight at RCR. They are going to take 6-8 months to a year to reap the benefits of it.
Dover is a tough track to repeat success on. It's so fast. Just the fact that the track is concrete, and you are constantly being thrown towards the wall coming out of the corners, makes this a difficult track for everyone. You have to be aware of everything going on, because things happen quickly and sometimes there's just nowhere to go.
We feel really good coming in here, but you still have to have a little bit of luck.
