Graham Rahal, No. 02 McDonald’s Dallara/Honda/Firestone:   “When we started the race, the McDonald’s car didn’t feel so hot right away.  I was trying to work and do whatever I could to keep the car on the track and make sure we got off for Richmond in one piece.  That was the main goal.  When Danica and I came together that hurt us pretty big.  She tried to pass on the inside and I was going to let her go and she just never wanted to turn.  I haven’t seen a reply but all I know is that I was pretty high already and I still got hit.  I kept it off the fence but it was pretty hard.  I’m glad I did, that’s for sure.  After that it was just disappointing because you’re running around here in the heat just knowing that you aren’t going to win the thing and you might as well just do circles.  We were lucky people were dropping like flies at the start and I thought it was going to continue that way and we might be looking at a top-10 finish but it never happened.  It was a difficult race, probably the most difficult I have ever driven.  When you run 125 straight laps straight like that with no yellow and the g-loads like they are, it wears you out pretty good.  It requires some strength for sure.  I think we should be better at Richmond.  We tested there at the end of last year and the car felt really good.  Hopefully we will go there and be even better.”
