RYAN NEWMAN, NO. 31 CATERPILLAR CHEVROLET SS – Involved in a multi-car accident on lap 44

WHAT HAPPENED THERE TO PUT YOU OUT OF THE RACE SO EARLY?
“For sure I didn’t see him. I know I got tight underneath him and I washed up, but I checked-up and when you check-up sometimes you wash up even more, but never the less, I don’t know if he turned me on purpose or not he probably had a right to, but it was early in the race and we had a good car. The Caterpillar Chevrolet was coming back through, we lost three spots on the pit stop and that was rough, but we started passing some cars and just either my mistake or his mistake, both of us going for the same piece of real estate off Turn 2."

ARE YOU OKAY AND HOW DID THAT GET STARTED?
“I’m not sure how it started. I know I got tight underneath Clint (Bowyer) and I’m not sure if he hit me and turned me on purpose or just hit me and ran out of room. I’m not sure if I stuck him in the fence before that, but we just kind of ran out of race track. It wasn’t intentional on my part. I’m not sure if it was on his, but we had a decent day going for the Caterpillar Chevrolet and not the end that we wanted."
