"I wheel-hopped it, I feel bad for doing that. You don't want to take out a Gibbs car like that or any car like that. But just trying to get another win in the Xfinity Series. I got a lot of catching up to do."

He added:

I was in there. I put my nose in there. That's part of it. Fenders are fenders. It's an accident, but I think everyone can agree that it's OK for a Xfinity Series regular to win this race."
