push it in to the main pit, which
was about a half mile away, and
got passed so we were fifth, and
I gave the bike to Skyler. Then we
heard N1 (Bell and Brabec) broke
down so we were like, 'Okay, sick
- we're in fourth!' And he comes
in [after his loop] in third - I'm like,
'Oh God! Okay, I guess I've got
to go!'
