How important was it for you to post the fast time in Q1 tonight?
“Fastest run of the year and so much emotion behind that run just because we’ve been working so hard and diligently to really make this car do that. Couldn’t be happier for every one of these guys on the team because it’s so much hard work and this is like seven or eight races now without us winning one and it’s all a sacrifice you have to make. You have to tear stuff down to build it back up stronger and that’s where we’re at. I’m not going to say that we’re there yet, but we’re definitely a step in the right direction. That’s a confidence booster for myself and for every one of the guys. That’s what we needed to do and it came at the perfect time.”
