00:00 >> Austin Dillon out of the care center.
00:02 Got caught up in an incident after having a great run today.
00:04 We saw the displeasure with Tyler Reddick.
00:07 What happened and what message were you trying to send him?
00:11 >> That I was mad.
00:12 I don't know.
00:13 I heard junior's replay said I came down a little bit.
00:16 I felt like I was holding my own.
00:17 He was at my left rear going in there.
00:20 I knew we were three wide.
00:21 I think I've got the right to at least hold my lane.
00:24 I got to turn at some point to get down.
00:26 Brad's on the outside.
00:28 Maybe a half lane up.
00:29 But Tyler drove it in there.
00:32 Obviously I feel like he drove it in deep enough where he had to come up the track into
00:35 me.
00:36 We can look at the smt and see the little fine movements that we make.
00:40 But felt like that was not the time to do that when in the 45.
00:45 Hate it for our team.
00:46 We really sucked at the beginning of the race.
00:48 We got the car much better.
00:49 Made some good strategy moves.
00:52 But you know, just lived to fight another day, I guess.
00:54 It was a pretty rough hit.
00:56 But, yeah.
00:58 Was the helmet throw enough or do you need to talk to Tyler?
01:01 No, I just need to start wrecking some people.
