This is Dale Jr., and you're listening to DirtyMo Radio.

Alright, let me put it after perspective.

We ran the last run.

1.7 on.

We finished that run.

Two inches down.

That's our perspective for it.

Hey everybody, it's Jr.

Post-Rase, Texas.

We had a great car and got a pretty good finish.

I think we had a definitely opportunity to win that race if things had worked out a little bit differently.

But we started the weekend out and practice on Friday.

I don't think that I was comfortable really in either the Xfinity car or the Cup car.

They were running OK lap times, but I don't think that I saw the potential that we had in both of those cars on Friday.

We made a lot of adjustments Friday night and went into qualifying and did pretty decent in qualifying for what we've been doing in the past.

I thought we improved on the Cupside and the Xfinity qualifying was pretty much running the mill.

Our cars handled good, drove good in both qualifying sessions for both series.

We got a relatively decent starting spot.

When we went into race trim for both cars, again, we felt like we were OK.

We had a particular run in the Cupcar that I liked a lot.

But that was on scuff tires and when you put on stickers, the car balance changes quite a bit.

I didn't know how much to trust really how that run felt and whether we should really go to that particular setup.
