To run 25th in a Cup car is hard. To run in the top 10 in a Busch or Truck race is still hard, but it's just not the same level.

You have 25 other races to try to make into this and we just didn't run well enough. I could see Ryan ahead of me all night and they told me I had to beat him. We just couldn't get there.

This is the hardest place, I think, to qualify because you can have a good car and it's so easy to lock the front brakes up or overdrive the corner. It's one of those places where you can be in the top five in practice and qualify 20th. It's so close.
