OK folks, I am the driver of the #28 car that was involved. Please allow me to explain what happened from my vantage point. As I came out of the turn as you can see in the video I was down low. What caused me to drift across the track was something that happens to many of us.

My cell phone went off and as I went to answer it the phone fell into my lap. AS I struggled to keep it from falling down onto the drive shaft I inadvertently drifted across the track. When I was in the center of the track, I saw it was a text message. As I went to open the phone to read the message I drifted across more thus making contact with the #4 car. I feel bad that he flipped as a result of my actions. The good news is the track went red and I was able to read the message without causing any further accidents during the race. I hope that next time I leave my phone in the pits.
