Did the car come out of gear or what. He hit the cushion, The car slowed & just as he made it in the pits they throw the caution. I don't think he made too many friends during his interview.

I thought his interview was good til he started cutting down other drivers. He admitted not knowing them, then refers to them as windshield wipers??????? He did driver like a madman last night, good driving show.

He was sure fun to watch from the tail in the B and from the tail in the feature and reeling in the leaders. It would have been a great headline.
