an
issue
with
my
goggles,"
Dietrich said.
"l
had

of din in my eyes and stuff I wear con-
tactr so

was catching

for
about
four
laps,
then
lwas
finally on his tail,"
Dietrich said.
"He
was really
cool about
lefting me by, and I
pulled
away. I wasn't
too concerned about dust, lwas con-
cerned about Caselli, because he was
coming on
quick.
I was
going
as hard as I
could, and he
just
was
catchinS and catch-
in8. Finally, on the last lap, he was
on
my
tail.
He
8ot
around
me, and he was wild!
He was on the
8as
and
going
for it.
I
go,
'l'm
going
to
play
it
cool and
get
the
podi-
um
here."'
