Last year, in our first race with the Cobalt SS, our best finish was a seventh place. Today we finished fourth, eighth, 12th, 13th and 24th. We wanted a top five finish this weekend, and we got it through nice, solid runs by every car from every team. |
Our goal is to win the Manufacturer's Championship this year, and we really won't be satisfied with anything less. |
The performance of all five Cobalt SS Supercharged cars this weekend, from three independent teams, gives us reason to be proud. |
Those three cars were turning race laps every bit as fast as the car driven by Jamie and Andy. The fact they finished much lower is not related to the performance of their cars or driver abilities. |
We dodged one bullet this weekend when we learned the 98.5 octane gas we had to run didn't hurt us as bad as we thought it might. |
We set our sights much higher this year. We want to win the Manufacturer's Championship, and this is a good start because we proved we can run with the best cars from every other manufacturer out there. |
We're racing against BMW, Mazda and Acura teams with years of experience with their products. We're the new kids on the block and although we know we're not going to dominate anything, we're happy to know we can win our share. |
With more than 75 cars in two classes on the track for this Saturday's race, our drivers have to be selective about where they make their moves or risk giving up the leads we've built so far this season. |
