Really, thats what did it. you was being as aggressive as you could be, as well as you knew it was 20 laps as well as you knew which was my chance. The 3 automobile (Dillon) was a little bit lax as well as so was I, though you done some adjustments upon my pushing style as well as was able to get by him.Elliott, who finished second in dual of a 3 segments, did get a satisfaction prize.
