“The incident that Luis had with the backmarker was unfortunate,” he said. “Traffic has been very, very difficult. We were hoping that the car would be its best at night because the three of us were really struggling to stay on top of the car and we barely managed to stay on the lead lap. I was just hoping that the balance of the car would improve under cooler conditions. This track has caught out a lot of people and caused a lot of damage. It is not an easy place. There are a lot of blind corners, a lot of tight corners. And when you have four different classes racing at the same time on this type of course, carnage is going to happen beside the challenge that this track is on its own.
“I have always said that dealing with traffic is the hardest part about racing in this series. Once in awhile it will bite you and it bit us today. It is unfortunate to have another DNF, and we feel bad for Lowe's and all of our supporters. We just have to regroup and keep working hard. It has been a tough year for us and we have to come on top of it at the end of the day for next year because there is just one more race. Hopefully, we can do well at Laguna.”
