How would you describe this weekend for you and the team?
“It’s weekends like this we sort of, always discuss which races are really going to catapult you into the end of the regular season and (to) get ready for the Countdown. This was one of those gut check weekends. It’s hot, it’s humid, it’s tricky. Everybody’s got to work together so well. It’s one of the tougher races we’ve had on Sundays, that I’ve been in, in a longtime. Just to, in the semifinals, to go down the track and not beat yourself or smoke the tires. You know, you lost and everybody should be upset, but you went down the track says volumes about where our NAPA Auto Care team is right now. (I) really wanted to get a win for our Toyota guys. Believe it or not, the conditions here, was almost 150 degrees track temperature and they’re the first ones at the track in the morning and the last ones to leave. The data we get from them is immense. Another good points weekend, I know I hate saying that, but it really was. We made a good run in the first round. Paul Lee was ahead of us in points, so that was nice to do that. We’ll have more of these good weekends. This one stings a little bit, but we’ll get there.”
