Saving those many tests (last year) looked good on paper, but to try to take the group you have and run tests and run races and keep cars prepared during the Chase was too much to ask.

A lot of our competition has saved tests. Maybe that will help them, maybe it will hurt them.

The month of May was really tough on this team. We got way behind with some of the car setup and some of the things we had going on, but we were able to turn it around. The last two months have been real strong for this team.

When everyone had written us out of the chase, that spurred these guys on, and we weren't going to go down without a fight.

Matt and the team have stayed committed and focused and have gotten us this far, somewhere at times we didn't think we'd be.

We were able to work out some kinks and came back and changed some cars around and applied what we learned.

It all comes down to this weekend. We tested at Richmond last week and learned about a lot of things that didn't work. Hopefully, we can take what we know and get the right set up on our car. Matt and the team have stayed committed and focused and have gotten us this far, somewhere that at times we didn't think we'd be. So this is it -- it should be a wild night!

I really hope we got our bad luck out of the way in Dover. We cut that first tire down and were able to battle back, but when the second one went our day was finished.
