Hey everybody, it's Junior.

After Memorial Day weekend, 600-mile-hour at Charlotte, we thought we had a pretty good

car in practice.

Really liked how the car ended practice.

Once we got the race started, we weren't right on the balance, right on the set up,

just right.

But once we got the race started, we weren't right where we needed to be.

We ended up needing to make some pretty big changes, tighten the car up, but still felt

like we were going to be pretty competitive.

Greg and the guys started making a lot of changes and consistently kind of chasing the

track, which was freeing up as the race went on.

They did a great job.

The car got better, the car got more competitive.

We started getting better track position, which also improves the car fuels and drives.

I thought mid-race that we were about the third or fourth best car.

The 78 and the 41 were definitely much better than everyone else.

It looked like they were going to be hard to catch.

The only thing you really hoped for was that their cars didn't like the late evening time

and how the track would change drastically.
