The bottom line is five guys can go faster than 40.

It’s almost been sort of an uneventful day. We didn’t have to change a whole lot of stuff. The car was ready off the truck.

I may drive in a few races next year if someone needs a substitute driver … (but) if I were never to drive again, I have had a great career.

I wish it could have been a little better, better than Tony ran, … But it didn’t work out that way.
