The hardest part is keeping yourself even keel across the board. You have to keep a balance until you get to Sunday and understand what goes with the week.

To be honest with you, I walked into media day (in February at Daytona), and there were two people standing in line to conduct interviews, so from day one of this year, everybody’s kind of written us off.

The truck was really fast, we just couldn't get a long enough green flag run there toward the end to get a good run on Todd and Skinner. But we were fast. Randy Goss, David Dollar and everyone on the No. 47 team and at Morgan Dollar gave me an awesome truck to drive tonight. We ran out of time to get back up there and race them for win.

We've got a third, first and a pole; I don't think you could ask for much more than that. Hopefully we can finish it off [tonight].

Anybody who says I can't do something, it just motivates me more than you could believe.

We just have to keep our heads down and keep doing everything that we've been doing. This isn't a bunch of guys that are just going to go out and brag We're going to race every week like we have never won a race before. That's the kind of determination that you need when you are going to do this stuff.
