A real wasted opportunity by me, I real was really angry at the end of this race. I was running good up until the first pit stops... I was first on pit road about 1/2 way through the race in 14th position, as soon as my tires dropped the yellow came out. About 7 other drivers followed me on pit road so we all went a lap down from that yellow. Luckily the yellow came out 10 laps later and I was ahead of the leader so i got my lap back.
From there I restarted 31st, but I took the opportunity to pit and no one else did so i had fresh tires. I was all the way up to 22nd before someone made contact with me and I lost control and the yellow came out again so I lost all my gained positions... We only had 5 laps to go when the green came out again but only managed to gain a few positions. Luckily Pocono is the next race so I hope to win there, I had a good run last race we had there but lost it in the last turn.
