AJ Allmendinger Reacts To Scary Crash At Talladega
Here’s what he had to say after the crash and his 32nd-place finish:
I'm alright. It's not the most fun run I've ever had, but it's Talladega. It's one of those things. I hate this place. I always have and always will. I don't know. I'm not really sure. I wish I could give you a description of what happened. I was just in the middle four-wide, I was getting shoved and I got in the right-rear of Michael (Waltrip), but I was on the brakes as hard as I could be getting pushed as hard as I was. It was just one of those things.
I've never flipped in anything like that. I guess there's a first for everything, but that's the first I never wanted to have.
I just hate this place. I'm proud of my guys. They fought hard. We went two laps down and we've got something with our shocks with the compression in it. It just doesn't allow us to change the right-front very fast, so we got a lap down and we lost the draft, and then we got bundled up and I got hit once and spun to go two down, so I'm just proud of the guys for fighting so hard.
We got back on the lead lap and I thought maybe we had a chance to get something good out of it, so I'm sorry for that. Honestly, like I said, I hate this place but I'm just proud of my guys. They keep fighting in a lot of tough times right now.
