“That’s hopefully going to be a assist. I’m going to ensure I preserve that clear air. However I used to be fairly joyful after the dash. I believe we did probably the most that we might have. I might have been happier with one spot greater, however with how the race turned out, I could not have requested for rather more. I really feel like we discovered so much this morning, and looking out ahead to making an attempt to place that to make use of tomorrow.”
