[On the new rule...] NASCAR instituted a new camber rule beginning this weekend, ... We will have to adjust on the Target Dodge a little, but I don't expect it to make a huge difference. This car is by far my favorite car, so I'm really looking forward to this weekend. We've been able to make adjustments when we needed to and it's balanced really well.

It was a bittersweet time, the highest of highs and lowest of lows. You feel so guilty even calling, trying to get that ride, but at the same time, it's the opportunity of a lifetime. I was starving for a job when Alex had his accident.
It was a good day for us; track position was so huge and right out there at the end we were running third, we had a big battle on the pit box on what we were going to do.
I think at the end we sort of handed the win away when we didn't take two tires. We could have gotten out ahead of those guys.
This year we're a lot better prepared for it. We had a special paint scheme this year on my helmet and we're going to auction that off. That's going to go to the foundation, and my suits and all that stuff.
Last weekend we had a solid run going, but the bolt on the sway bar broke while we were running in the top 10. Hopefully this weekend we can start to put some good finishes together before the end of the season. It has been discouraging, but I believe in this team's abilities and we will get after it again this weekend.
