00:00 >> I can't believe I'm saying this, but Jimmie Johnson must race his way into the daytona
00:04 500 tomorrow night.
00:07 What was going on during that run?
00:09 >> It's so hard to tell.
00:10 I know that last year in qualifying in this new package, the car turns a lot less RPM
00:14 and it was very difficult for me to know if it was a good lap or not.
00:17 I had that confusion again this year, but sadly, it wasn't fast enough to get us in.
00:21 We've worked really hard over the off season and this isn't what we had hoped for coming
00:26 down here.
00:27 >> Eric ran a respectable lap, so I think it's in there.
00:31 Just a lot of new elements coming together and we'll work hard to race our way in tomorrow.
00:36 It's not a position I wanted to be in, but it is what it is and we'll do all that we
00:40 can with this Toyota Camry.
00:41 >> All right.
00:42 We'll see you in the duels tomorrow night.
