June 3, 2001JEFF GREEN-10-Nestle Nesquik Ford Taurus (Finished 29th) - YOU MADE CONTACT WITH THE WALL IN TURNS 1 and 2. WHAT HAPPENED? "The throttle hung. It hung one other time, and it barely hung, and I kind of forget about it the last 100 laps and for some reason it didn't come back that time. We were still too tight. We were probably good enough to get fourth or fifth, but we were still hammer down trying. I guess it's not in us to lead the points. Every time we were get in the lead something happens. We'll still keep digging. We have a lot of races to win yet. I've never had that happen before. I was trying to get to the NASCAR button. I got it shut off, but it still hit wall. I did it one other time, but I kind of forgot about it. You run so far down in the corners here anyway, you never have much of a chance to get it cut off. I finally got it cut off but it was too late. It tore it up too bad to fix it. We don't have enough laps here to fix it. We're going to lose a lot of points today, but there is still a lot of time. I guess we used all of our luck up last year."
