#3- Austin Dillon met with members of the media at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and discussed his accident in the first practice session
ON FIRST PRACTICE:
Dillon: ‘It didn’t go as planned. Just trying to find some extra speed and drove a little too hard I guess or I don’t know what really happened. We just didn’t have it together as good as we wanted to in that first practice. We’ve got a good back-up car and we will go try and qualify on the pole with it.’
ON GOING TO A BACK-UP CAR:
Dillon: ‘This is my first back-up in three years in the Cup Series, so I really don’t know how to answer that question. I’ve never had to go to a back-up. In Darlington I flat sided the car in practice, but we used that car. That is the only place I’ve really had damage and had to run a car with damage going into a race. Yeah, I’ve never had a back-up car that I’ve had to run in three years, so we will see how it goes right here. I will have a better answer afterwards.’
