If we can get the performances that I am anticipating in the coming weeks, we should take a good jump in the standings.

It's rather surprising, because we have had a lot of good performances,

He really has been coming along good the last couple weeks. We had that two week stretch off and I felt we had some good training in there.

Dale Jr. and somebody got together and shot up in front of me and I got into the back of them. My brakes locked up and the impact crunched the nose in. The Army car never drove the same after that. It was a pretty frustrating deal to have a car drive that good and then all of a sudden get wounded. For a while we had an easy top-10 car.

I think a tire was going down on Hamlin's car. He slammed on the brakes and I ran into him hard and smashed in my grille pretty good. That made the car real tight for the rest of the race.

The Army car was good all day. We were in good position to make a move at the end. But some of the guys were driving stupid by brake checking and doing everything they could do to cause a wreck.
