For my fifth race this season on a non-restrictor plate oval, I felt I made some pretty big gains this weekend, ... We were clicking off competitive lap times all day and felt we had at least a top-20 car. |

I am very thankful about this opportunity, but I have really missed being part of the action since Watkins Glen, ... I want to be in there, mixing it up with the best drivers in the world. That's why I am so excited about getting back with the guys and having some fun this weekend at California Speedway. |
I had great restarts all day, but Tony got me and I got bogged down. |

I've always wanted to run in the dirt, ... But part of the fun about this was the chance to race McGrath. |
In our little group, the good guys are really good. We want to win. I'm going to bring my best. My name's all over the sled. |
It still, to this day, is one of fastest, most exciting things I've done, especially without a motor. I can remember it like it was yesterday. You can't believe how fast you accelerate. It's a wild ride. |
