It is a little bit of a disadvantage not running it, not testing it, but it is not like we don't know anything about it. We have had that car in the wind tunnel. We have had that car on the racetrack previously.

It is kind of a preseason game for them to make a couple of pit stops and if you have a mistake, it's a good way to get that out the way before you get into the 150s and the 500.

I look at it as a preparation for the 500. Time for him to get some experience, time for us to make friends and can make good decisions.

There's a lot of evaluation going on there with air-fuel mixtures, oil pressures, engine temperatures. That's more important to us than what Kyle thinks right now.

In order to make that playoff in September, or even to make the top-10, you have to finish races. Last year we focused on being fast and racing hard to win races; this year we are going to take a more conventional approach and improve our package as a whole.

Around lap 80 or 100 was the first time we led, and I thought we were looking pretty good.
