I apologize to Kyle and his fans. I should have done a better job of slowing down.
I saw (Green) get sideways and go flying up the race track and I thought I could do a good job of going underneath him. I ended up running into the back of Kyle Petty.
I saw Green get turned around, and then I went into the smoke. Kyle came down the track and I ended up being the guy who got Kyle. It was just a terrible day.
Kyle just crowded me into the wall there. But no hard feelings. I'll just chalk it up to hard racing. Anyway, I talked with Kyle after the race. Everything's settled, we're on good terms, and I got his dad's autograph.
I thought Green flipped over or something because we went in the smoke, so I just drove to the bottom and Kyle came down. I should have been more worried about stopping my car than people from behind running into me, and I ended up being that guy that got Kyle.
I hadn't been in that position before. I was hoping Kyle is OK. I thought Green flipped over because we went in the smoke, so I just dove to the bottom and Kyle came down.
