[Morais] went to three-quarter
throttle, and I went to half throttle.
I was just like, 'there's no way I'm
leading coming out of this thing.'
I thought I timed it to perfec-
tion. I really did. I almost started
celebrating before I got to the
line. Sure enough, here comes
Brandon on the outside and took
the W. Congrats to these two
guys. It was so much fun riding
with them. I hope we come back
and do this next year."
Morais' ride was sterling to
third, but he was the unfortunate
than them guys. Just perfect. Just
like last year."
Petersen fell victim not just to

and we put it in the top 10 for a moment
there, so that was nice. It was great to be
up there racing with a lot of guys in my
past. I went through the kink in the infield
and knew something was wrong with the
motor, so I had to pull off. But for such
a last-minute thing I'm stoked with this
weekend."
