Q. Ryan, you went down and spoke with Kyle Larson about the contact there at the end of the stage two. What was that conversation?
RYAN BLANEY: I just wanted to know what I did to deserve it. He just said he made a mistake. That's fine. Make mistakes. But like at the end of the day I still got turned. Came from all the way up the bottom of the racetrack, hit me in he left rear. I know he most likely didn't mean to do it, but it happened anyway.
That's one I've got to remember. I was happy we bounced back, not to get turned around, did a good job of coming out where we need to be. Having a good enough car to get back to fourth. Proud of the effort. Appreciate Menards, Pennzoil, Ford for a good day, good recovery. Go onto Bristol next week.
Q. I don't know if you're ever comfortable at Bristol. Plus 42, what does that open up for you next week?
RYAN BLANEY: I think go have a decent race. I think Bristol has been a place where we've gotten better the last, like, two or three races there. I feel like we've gotten a little bit better there. Keep trying to improve there at that racetrack little by little, and just go have a solid night.
