NASCAR WCUP: Rockingham post race notes and quotes, Jimmy Spencer

JIMMY SPENCER --23-- Team Winston Taurus (Finished 20th) -- "At the beginning of the race the car was just absolutely really great and the track changed some. When the track changed we adjusted on the car and really hurt it, so we had to go back to where we were and we ended up losing a lap or two there and once we got it back where it was we were capable of staying on the lead lap, but it was too late. It was unfortunate that no caution came out and the leaders were going so fast early in the race. It's not the finish we wanted, but it could always be worse. We really abused the tires (at the start of the race). We took a lot of time off our tires where the other guys in the front didn't and that's because of qualifying. If we would have qualified better we'd have been alright."
