I asked @chaseelliott about the Dover pit call last week that may have cost them a chance at the win.
Here are his thoughts about it: "Easy to look back on that and realize you made a mistake. But look, (if) we don't come down pit road and the XX comes down pit road, then everybody's fussing about that because the rest of them were going to pit.
We decided to pit and the XX stayed out and he happened to win the race. And of course, that's going to get the same reaction.
So the point I'm trying to make is when you have all the answers to the test after it's over, it's really easy to sit back and look at what was the right thing to do and what wasn't.
Denny did a really good job holding off the tires behind (him). Does he stay out if we stay out as well, knowing that (new) tires was going to line up right behind us on the second row and he didn't have control of the restart? I don't think they do. But maybe they do.
Regardless, it is a tough spot to be in, and it went the way it went. We can't change it, but we can certainly take some lessons from from the day and from the weekend and try to apply that forward to put ourselves in positions like that more often."
