If you use a cars and truck length-- two-and-three-quarters was exactly how long ago he was [of Logano], and the other automobile slows down 3 kilometers an hour on the final tour, you're heading to bump in a little bit of to get [him] up the race course. Is actually that over today?" What is free throw line? And after that if you visit racing somebody off the section and also they get loose [as Hamlin did] as well as get involved in you, after that performs that indicate you run out the Pursuit? That is actually all I came to say concerning the judgment. However it has transformed dashing for a gain for sure."
