“It seems like I thought we had turned the corner at Loudon. It was probably one of our better cars, and then California, Kansas, good car, real good car, and then this week a very disappointing qualifying run, and then we had the problems with the transmission in the race," Hendrick said in a post-race press conference.
Hendrick says better days are around the corner. "I told them, this can't last. We've got too many smart people over there to not fix it. We've been right on the edge of -- if we could have finished two or three of those races and not have been swept up in a wreck, we wouldn't be really talking about it."
Then Hendrick gave Junior a big vote of confidence when he added "I think what Dale was saying was sometimes people doubt his commitment, and it's eating him up. But we're going to get it. I just hope it's soon."
