I have the capability to run up there with them, to finish up in the top five. The way I explain it to my friends is that it's like putting a college [football] team against the pros. They all know the game; they each have the ability, but the professionals know went to shine at the right time. The [National Sprint Tour] drivers go out there full speed knowing that's their paycheck at stake. That's how they make their living. For me, win or lose, I'll go to my job Monday morning and at the end of the week, pick up my check.
