Getting these two wins against two very good teams really helps prepare us for the Public League race.

Hitting and team speed is our strength this season. Our pitchers will have to get some experience, though.

First of all we are concerned about him. I think each of us went up to him and wanted to make sure he's OK. He's a great player, a great team-mate so we want the best for David. He says he's playing great and feels fine so we have to go with what he says. We're going to make sure none of his playing partners put him in stressful situations.

(Hough's) been hounding us all year ... in the division. We'll see what happens, we'll go to Medford and race for points in about two, three weeks.

It positions us strongly to run a great race for the next 10 and a half months.

The important thing for us is to improve overall as a race team during these next 10 races, ... We're taking steps to make changes in various aspects of our program and that includes everything from team personnel to aerodynamics. The biggest thing we need in the immediate future is a good run. We haven't put up a good effort since Daytona where we finished fifth. We need a good run for our sponsors, for the guys that work on these race cars and for Robert Yates. The other thing that is important to us is getting back to victory lane. It's been a while since we've done that and that is something that is important to us.
