Angier finished there, finished tenth, while Elliott fought his fight in fourth place. After the race to apologize, Angier immediately found him, but it was still a difficult moment for the HMS driver.

We had such a fast chevy and it was very fun, just lead the charge and immersing it through the ground, leading some laps and pass (cars) and getting some good representatives, and resume the race, which starts all those things that resume – I am very good to have a lot of fun.
