Riggs, Sorenson and McMurray
Scott Riggs, Reed Sorenson and Jamie McMurray were all involved in a multicar crash on lap 7. All suffered extensive damage to their cars.
"The 10 car (Riggs) just spun out and he tried to save it and then got up into the outside wall, and you're like 10 feet behind him,so you're just hanging on," McMurray said. "An unfortunate day."
It was a disappointing end to the race for McMurray.
"This has been a really good track for me, so I really look forward to coming to Fontana," said McMurray, driver of the No. 26 Ford for Roush Fenway Racing. "We didn't qualify well, but our car seemed pretty good there the first four or five laps, at least what we got to try."
Sorenson was the unwitting victim of the colliision between Riggs and McMurray. He got collected in the crash.
"I'm not relly sure what happened, but something happened with the 26 (McMurray) and 10 (Riggs)," said Sorenson, driver of the No. 41 Dodge for Chip Ganassi Racing. "I think I had it missed and then somebody hit us in the right rear and it was all over from there."
Riggs said his car was driving really tight before the accident.
"We've been working on the car all weekend," said Riggs, driver of the No. 10 Dodge for Evernham Motorsports. "We've been on both sides of the spectrum -- loose and tight. Everybody did a good job trying to get this Stanley Tools Dodge better all weekend, but we were really tight there at the beginning of the run and had a lot of wheel in it and in the throttle hard. I just got loose. It snapped loose with me... I hate it for everyone."
