It's a tough place to race and a tough place to survive.

There are 43 guys in the world that race these things every week. To be one of those 43 guys is awful special. Any time you can win at the highest level, that's all you can ask for as a driver. If he could win one of these this year or whenever, it would make his career for sure.

You have to get ready for all conditions or at least know what to change on the car to get it where you need it. I was happy on Thursday when it was a little cooler. We missed a little with the hot weather on Friday, but I felt with the hot weather (Saturday) that we were right on. I think we have a good gauge of where to go with the car.

I've been happy with the car. Yesterday (Friday) was really the only day I thought we were off a little bit. I think we're in good shape. If we can survive it and get to the end, then we'll see what we've got.

We were really happy with today. I thought we got the car back handling to as well as Thursday or better.

We've struggled up to this point a little bit. None of the Bill Davis cars qualified as fast as we thought they could or should. We weren't all that happy with it in the first drafting practice. We need to gain a good bit more.
