YOU’RE COMING INTO THE WEEKEND WITH A LITTLE BIT OF MOMENTUM. YOU’VE GOT THREE TOP 12’S IN YOUR LAST THREE STARTS AND THIS IS OBVIOUSLY ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE RACE TRACKS. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO COME INTO DOVER KNOWING YOU HAVE SOME MOMENTUM AND IT’S AN OPPORTUNITY RACE TRACK FOR YOU AND YOUR TEAM?
“I can relax a little bit more coming to this race track. With it being my best track and the love I have for this place, I’m always excited to come, but trying to get the No. 48 car back into Victory Lane, I can take a little pressure of myself here knowing that the rhythm-style and the way you drive this track and the set-up for the car. We’ll get it close, and history shows that. Hopefully we get it perfect and we can have the day that we really want to have and get back to Victory Lane.

WHAT IS BIGGEST DIFFERENCE SINCE LAST TIME YOU WERE IN AN INDYCAR? “I don’t know if I can tell you the differences between the cars when I was here driving Indy cars before. It’s closing in on a decade. It’s been almost seven years. But what I do know, man, the wheel is so heavy. That was my biggest issue was the weight of the wheel and feeling it. When the wheel is heavy, it feels loose so it is hard to be aggressive with it. I’m stronger than when I was here before, but it is just such a different feel. The stock cars have power steering so there is a big difference there. I did feel feel fairly comfortable there at the end as far as driving to the edge ofthe grip limit. The weight of the wheel still doesn’t feel comfortable to me, but we had to get today done, so it will be even better tomorrow.”

WHAT WENT THROUGH YOUR MIND WHEN YOU WENT OVER THE YARD OF BRICKS THE FIRST TIME: “Nothing when I am driving, but when I am walking across the bricks, it is the same type of good feelings driving in and seeing the Pagoda and being here. It is a special place. Anybody that has been here can at least feel that to some degree.”
