00:00Christian, we just saw Corey Humphrey come over, talk to you about the contact on track.

00:05What's your reaction to that and what did Corey have to say to you?

00:07I mean, he's got a right to be mad.

00:09I just misjudged him straightaway.

00:11He acted like I went to the wall, but I didn't.

00:14I tried to leave him in the lane.

00:15I just misjudged him on my end.

00:16So, I mean, that's not me.

00:17I apologize to the old 11 guys, but yeah, I mean, I'd probably be mad too.

00:21But overall, proud of the Napa Auto Care Chevrolet team.

00:24I think we were second place truck and we finished second tonight.

00:27So, good execution on that end and we'll move on to Richmond.

00:31Christian Eckes, moving on to Richmond.

00:33Adam?

00:34Thank you, Mamba.

00:35Yeah, I think that Corey got squeezed a bit, but certainly was a lane there, but when you're

00:43racing that hard against another fellow, you just lose your mind when you feel like you

00:47got squeezed into the fence and that's what Corey felt like.
