Johnson quotes:

"Well, the car's pretty bad. Cars in front of me were sliding around and checked up. It just was a chain reaction deal. I got hit from behind. Down in the inside wall, when I was making my lap around, I tried to get back to pit road and went down the backstretch and my steering failed. When I climbed on the brakes, all the camber in the car and castor in it, I braked and I turned right into the inside wall again. If it didn't hurt that I backed it into the wall the first time, it killed it the second time."
