Quotes

"You never want to break an engine," Yates said. "a year ago at the all-star race, we really had an aggressive package, and we went on to win the race. and, later in the year, we started racing that package based on the results. this year, we came out with a new package again in the all-star race, but we found the limits. we were just pushing it too hard."
