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.

[Etc.: Jarrett, who has led only two laps this season, has finished 14th or worse in his last eight races to drop out of the top 10.] What we have to do now is get to the point where we can call ourselves a top-10 team, ... Right now, we can't do that.

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.

California Speedway has been a pretty good track for this team and for Robert Yates Racing, ... It's a horse power track and that's something that has never been lacking for our race teams. California is one of the tracks where we ran decent this year. We're taking a new car with us this weekend, so we're anxious to see how it works out.

I'm pretty sure that helped a little bit.
