“Our United Rentals Chevrolet was solid today. We had a top-three car and if we had fine-tuned on it one last time, I think we could have competed for the win. Frustrating ending with the transmission issues. When I came down pit road for the green flag stop, it wouldn’t come out of fourth gear. I stalled trying to leave pit road, finally got it going, but lost a ton of track position. When the caution came out at the end, it was really hard to get into gear going to third and second. I was nervous about the restart, but I was able to muscle through to get it going. This isn’t the first time we’ve had transmission problems this season, so we definitely will go back to the shop on Monday and figure out a solution. We need to find an answer before the Playoffs start. I hate it for our Richard Childress Racing team because the guys are bringing fast Camaros to the track.”
