With Dario racing the same weekend, that's a huge thing for me. He's my best friend and I go to his races any time I can, and vice-versa for him, so it's just perfect. He helped me out the first time I went to Homestead. Even though we're running different track configurations, he knows the road course from testing.

It's good to be back with the CITGO team. We were so competitive last year; we were fast enough to win the race. It's something to build on again for this year. I think it's going to be even more competitive -- the level just keeps going up -- but we've certainly got the car and the drivers to do it, so we'll try our best.
