00:00We saw the 11 of Denny Hamlin caught up in a last lap incident.
00:03As far as the strategy for you today, you guys rode around the back.
00:06I know you said your car was loose and you were fighting that all day.
00:09Was that the right strategy for you guys?
00:13If we know how the race plays out, then I can tell you whether it's the right strategy.
00:17Obviously, didn't work considering we got in that last wreck.
00:21My goal was to try to get 20 points in the day.
00:25The way to do that is finish in the mid-teens.
00:28My record on super speedways has been atrocious.
00:32Next year, I've gotten caught up in everyone else's wreck possible, so I just tried to
00:36finish.
00:37I was able to finish, but certainly not with the points that I was hoping for.
00:42Knowing you're coming out of here in the situation that you are, how do you feel about next week
00:45at Watkins Glen?
00:46Fine.
00:47We'll run pretty decent there and obviously plan on running good at Bristol.
00:51Thanks, Denny.
