[Before that race], I read that Brian Vickers had the record, and I really wanted to break it. I really didn't think we had the car to beat [at Mansfield], but we put ourselves in the right position.

I felt something happen to the car the lap before; it felt like the car didn't have a sway bar. The first hit was the one that hurt the most, probably because I had a long time to think about it...I just hate it because I thought we had a car that could have won tonight.

Our car ended up being a lot better than we thought it was going to be. I started near the back, and I just tried to stay out of trouble.

We want to try to win as many races as we can and be in the top five [in points] at the end of the year.
