PASTRANA QUOTE:
“We did not have a really good day. We just struggled all day. I need to work harder on getting the car ready for the race during practice. We were way off at the start of the race and just could never get the handling right. It was just snappy-loose all day. We have a lot to learn, but I am dedicated to be successful in NASCAR. It might take a year or two but I determined to run up front at some point in my career.”
