THE Q&A

WHAT DID YOU LEARN FROM THE SPRINT UNLIMITED?

“We really learned what this car is like in the draft and some things you can do and some things you can’t do. But I think it will be different too when we have 43 cars out there compared to having 20 cars out there. We won’t really know how it handles until we get to the 500.”

HOW DO YOU STAY FOCUSED BEING IN DAYTONA SO LONG?

“You are always thinking about it. Even Monday and Tuesday when you are not on the track, you are thinking about your car and how you can make it better. But it’s good to have some down time too. Getting a chance to spot in the Late Model race and call the K&N race on SPEED is a nice break. But you never stop thinking about things. Things you can do differently, things you want to try.”
