ON IF HE SAW THE DEBRIS ON THE TRACK AT THE END AND IF THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A CAUTION:
GORDON - “ Absolutely should have been a caution at the end but there shouldn’t have been one before that so that’s why I’m not saying anything about it. So that’s why I’m not saying anything about it because there should have never been one, the caution before that when we really checked out and those guys never even had a chance at catching us. They were caught in a lot of traffic and we had a great restart. I was pretty upset they threw that caution. There’s wasn’t a think on the race track but I will say there at the end - debris, oil, everything you can imagine was on that race track and that comes back to the inconsistency. I’m glad they didn’t they throw it at the end but I didn’t understand why they threw it earlier. It can work with you or against you, today it worked for us. “
WILL IT HURT YOU THAT THE DOVER TEST IS CANCELLED?
LETARTE - “We always like the opportunity to go to a race track and test but I feel that Hendrick Motorsports is very well prepared with this car and I feel that it’s no secret that the banked tracks have been our weakness. I feel we didn’t have the best car in Bristol and we got fortunate to win there with Kyle. I don’t feel we had the best car today and we were fortunate to win here. I believe the 11 probably had one of the best cars. Jimmie was better and he had a little different setup. I feel between the four crew chiefs we can make good decisions and go to Dover and be competitive. I really don’t have an opinion either way on the Dover test. I’m kind of glad. The crews deserve some time off. Unfortunately the weather has been bad these last two weeks. Those guys put in night and day effort to run these two different cars and especially with Chevrolet having two different engines. It’s a lot of work and they deserve the rest. I think NASCAR made the right decision to completely cancel it. “
