"I just couldn't believe it. I just thought something was going to go wrong.
What a day! We seemed to have a good car and we just had to hold on to it and try and stay in front of those cars on the restarts. You're a sitting duck, we had so many yellows today, it was so hard to get into a rhythm.
I think our car actually had a little bit too much drag in it but, coming towards the end, as long as we got a good jump on those guys, I don't think they were going to get past us."
