Todd on Charlotte: “The DHL Toyota team had a good rebound from qualifying. We made a good run in the first round. You gotta be up on the wheel against these guys every round. I was just pushing too hard there in the second round. My foot said ‘go’ before my brain did, and I just screwed up. All in all, the DHL car’s going down the track so we’re making progress.”
