Patrick Carpentier finished 19th in the second Duel.
On the wreck:
Patrick Carpentier: We went all the way to the max. The No. 10 Valvoline was fast all day, but it started to get really tight on me. I kept hitting the wall there the last four or five laps. I figured I might as well stay close to the wall so when that thing let go I would be right up there. I thought we were going to finish it there at the end with only a few laps to go. Our guys did a great job in the pits. There was nothing else you could do. We’re going to go to Fontana and dig deeper to get into the field.
Did you prove that you can run with these guys?
It was fun. Elliott Sadler yesterday taught me a lot. Pete Barnwell, my spotter today, did a good job. They were explaining everything they can to me. They gave me so much information and with the team back and forth, so I think we are going to come out on top of this.

Hey there:Just thought I’d give a few words about Pat, I know of his exploits in open wheel, however, NASCAR is a whole new ball game, unlike Villenuve, who is not doing so good , I think Bill Davis needs to give him more seat time, I know Sundays very important for points prestige an all that, but don’t rule either of these guys out yet. Tony did it and so will these Canadian fellows. Having said that. Patrick maybe the one to look at a little closer than his former open wheel team mate.
