2012 Kansas II: NASCAR Sprint Cup Race Quotes - AJ Allmendinger
AJ ALLMENDINGER, NO. 51 PHOENIX CONSTRUCTION CHEVROLET - Sidelined due to a blown right-front tire on lap 71
YOU SAID YOU FELT IT COMING, WHAT HAPPENED? "It was getting tight the last couple of laps, but I just thought that was how the race track was going. I had that for the first run. Then I went in turn one, and felt it get really tight. I actually radioed in and said 'I'm pitting this lap'. I tried to checkup down the back straightaway and try to save it and make sure it didn't blow. Unfortunately it did. I just feel bad for everybody at Phoenix Racing. James Finch; Hendrick horsepower. The car was really fast. We were running so well. I thought we could have an easy top-10, if not a top-five. Just so disappointed. These guys work so hard. This small group of guys, they've been through so much this year. They work their butts off. I really enjoyed it. I hope I'm in the car next week. I don't know, but if not, James Finch, everybody at Chevy, Hendrick giving me this opportunity. It has meant the world to get back in this sport. I love this sport, and I hope I'm back next week. But if not, I thank James, Steve Barkdol and everybody for what they've done."
