Parker, a Busch series regular, said he couldn't accurately describe to his crew the adjustments his Dodge needed over the course of the race, hurting his efforts.

"I'm disappointed not knowing how to adjust the car, but that's something I'm going to learn," he said. "We had to make some decisions, we went the wrong way, and that hurt my finish. I'm not too happy about that."
