00:00 >> Rick, let's chat with him now.
00:01 You said earlier this week you would be willing to move someone but in a respectful way.
00:06 Let's talk about the move on your teammate.
00:07 Was it respectful and was it fair, the multiple moves you made on him?
00:11 >> I don't know if it's fair.
00:14 I don't like racing that way and that seems to be the way this race always plays out.
00:19 I beat him on the restart here and gave him plenty of room.
00:25 He just throttles up into my door there and then had my opportunity to push him up off
00:31 the bottom here.
00:32 I got in the oil here and the top pretty decent.
00:36 And then did it again into one.
00:40 Thought we had it there coming to the checkered.
00:42 But yeah, I don't know.
00:44 Not proud of racing like that.
00:46 But a shot at a championship four.
00:49 You know, I didn't blast him.
00:51 You know, he's still with me.
00:52 I drug right here to keep him next to me.
00:55 We raced pretty hard here.
00:56 I don't know who gets him here.
00:57 The 20.
00:58 I don't know.
00:59 I feel like I played pretty fair for the situation.
01:05 He's going to be mad.
01:07 It's for a championship four spot.
01:08 I want to fight for my guys all the way to the end.
01:11 >> Were you solely worried about your team or did it cross your mind at all that might
01:14 knock him out of the championship four as well?
01:17 >> Yeah, if I wanted to guarantee myself a win, I do what Ty did last year.
01:22 I spin him out into one.
01:23 And I'm not worried about him at all.
01:25 But I move him up off the bottom.
01:27 You know, enough for him to have a fighting shot here.
01:29 I'm watching the replay again.
01:33 He has a fighting shot here.
01:36 I can't control the 20 spinning him out in three and four.
01:39 Just proud of everyone.
01:40 I wanted to fight for my guys all the way to the end and give them a chance at a championship
01:44 here.
01:45 And just so thankful for Chevrolet, wheel and everyone at RCR for my time here.
01:50 It's been a learning two years.
01:53 And, man, just frustrating to go out like that.
01:57 But proud of everyone.
01:58 >> Dave owning up to it.
02:00 They did everything he could.
02:01 Sheldon did everything he could to try and get the 2 team into the championship four.
