“We had an up and down day. It ended on a down note unfortunately. We had some good runs and some bad runs. I made a couple mistakes. We had a good run going when I scraped the wall a little bit off of turn two; we ran another 10 laps or so, not thinking we really had any damage. After pitting for new tires, I got a tire rub and cut a right rear tire down. That got us a couple of laps down and pretty much ended our night. Obviously, a disappointing finish today but I feel like we learned a lot over the last five days and I'm ready to go give it another shot at Charlotte”
