I knew we were close on fuel at the end and he [crew chief Scott Zipadelli] told me not to worry about it, to keep doing what I was doing. I had that going on in the back of my mind during that last lap. I knew that Timothy (Peters) pitted a lap before me, so he was going to run out of fuel before I did. We could see everyone running out of fuel on the race track and coming down pit road, but I had no idea we would end up third. I knew we were racing Timothy for the next position and then saw a bunch of those guys in front of us run out [of fuel]. In the back of your mind you wonder if you’re actually racing for the win, but at the other end you’re also thinking that you need to save some fuel so you can make it to the checkered flag. It was really close for us, but thankfully the No. 11 guys did the calculations right.”
