Everything went smoothly. I just mashed the pedal and took off for a very fast ride. It's nice to be on top of the speed charts, but I'd rather be at the top in another month.

We're just going too fast around here. The speeds are too much for this tire.

The car is so fast and so smooth and everyone has their cars sucked down in the front, ... It's such a good car; we just need to get some luck.

To come in here [Sunday] and run like we did and get the finish we did was great for all of us.

I think you're going to have a lot of cautions, ... and not all because of the racetrack, [but also] because the guys racing so close in the Chase right now don't want to give an inch.

All in all, I'm happy with the new Fusion in the draft. It doesn't get the aero tightness that we've had in the past. Ford has done a tremendous job in really giving us a great tool to work with. I can't wait to get in some racing conditions So far, so good; I give it an A.
