Somebody (Denny Hamlin) just slowed at the start finish line and we went into the car in front of us.

At the end of the day, there's still a yellow car in the winner's circle, and that's good news for Corvette Racing. Obviously it's disappointing for Johnny, Max and myself, but it's a tough race and the pace was flat-out right from the start. That's why Corvette Racing has two cars in the race because you never know if you're going to have a problem. Often it's a 1-2 finish, but not today.

It's special for me. This is home, ... I don't know a lot of the other drivers have this kind of luxury. It's an hour from home, and this is where I did most of my growing up. My first car racing experience was here, and I've just had a number of great memories of Mosport.

The effort that Dan puts into motivating the crew, his enthusiasm, and his work ethic energize the entire team, ... He will do anything, stay up all hours, to make the car right. That's a testament to his dedication and his desire to win. His record speaks for itself, and I wish our paths had crossed a lot sooner.
