"That is not how we expected that one to go. We got down to it at the end and were racing through the bus stop and came out of it, and I am not sure who, but a couple guys went through the dirt and caused a wall of dust that we couldn’t see through. I came through the other side of it and the 4 car was sitting there backwards. I tried to get down to avoid it and hooked the splitter in the mud, tucked it under and got stuck. I was trying to get it where I could drive back around but I had to get out, which meant I had to go to the care center to be checked. These CSX guys, they worked really hard to get this fixed quickly and got back on track and took the green flag with everybody else there. I am proud of them for that. They did a good job and we were still running there at the end. In the grand scheme of things, from a points standpoint, it was a little bit of a gain but we definitely don’t want to do it like that anymore.”
