No. 43 Post Race Report

SORENSON: “We were biding our time today and just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.  I think (Dale Earnhardt) Jr. had a brake problem and just got us; nothing he could do.  The crew worked really hard and got the car back on the track and I think we made up three positions in the final lap.  We didn’t have a good day in the McDonald’s Dodge, but we made it better than what it could have been.”
