Man, [crew chief] Bootie [Barker] stated it excellent Monday. I used to be pissed off and pissed off after Talladega and he stated, ‘Hey, we’re gonna must grind our ass off for Dover from apply to qualifying to the race and it’s not gonna be fairly.’ I don’t suppose he meant that half, wrecking out wasn’t gonna be fairly.
