Not at all. We tested at Miller, Fontana, and here. It was fine, no problems at all. If anything, it was too much riding.

It was just a mishap with a slower guy. I was out there and had no where to go.

We got lucky with the red flag for sure. To come from the fourth row and put it up here on the box, we?re very, very happy with that.

Congratulations go out to Ben. We'll go back to work and try to improve tomorrow and give it another good race.
