There's not a lot of give up in me. I never really thought about giving it up. I thought maybe there was a chance my back would never feel good enough to play again.

I thought I had a really good chance. But, it's okay. I finished second. Still second or third start of the season, it's okay. I'm happy. Congrats to Patrick.
