THEY SAID IT: "There was some more (in that lap). You're trying to push it as hard as you can, but we're struggling with getting temps up. We were already struggling compared to all the other guys to get the car up to temp, so that's why we wanted to go right away. There's so many mistakes I made, but the car is just not ready, it's going all over the place. We knew it was going to be tough to compete with them when it comes to this situation. Still very happy, with the No. 12 Verizon Chevrolet with Team Penske. We're up for a good start."
