I don't know how he's blaming me. Jeff came up. He's got to know that someone else is there, too.

I don't know how [Green] is blaming me because I was on the bumper of the car in front of me and just hit him. Jeff was coming up. I don't know if he was trying to get air on that or what and he touched the left-front of my car. He's got to know that somebody else is there, too.

This pretty much seals our fate in regards to making the Chase, ... We went for so long this season without having issues like this. I guess we're due.

A good run in the Bud Shootout doesn't guarantee a good run in the Daytona 500, but it is a nice indicator that this part of the program is at least headed in the right direction. The extra seat time is always good to have, and I think there are things you can learn by participating in that race that the teams who aren't competing don't have the opportunity to learn.

The first couple times we raced there it was pretty tough, because it was a one-groove track. It's obviously come a long way.
