That's awesome. There's no bias in the media.

It's not supposed to be easy. It's not supposed to be driving down the interstate.

awesome car coming developed driver format good gotten great job places practice race size team third track tracks type
This type of race track - we race on so many tracks this size and in this format that as a driver I've gotten really good at these places and I feel comfortable coming to these places. As a team we've developed some awesome cars. We went out there and I think we were third in the first practice today. It's pretty straightforward. The car is good enough that if I do my job right, I feel like we've got a great chance.
asked chances fastest few good helped kurt lap optimistic pick places questions ran reminds speed test tested time ton weeks
We had a really good test there a few weeks ago. It reminds me of Pocono a little bit. When we tested there Kurt (Busch) was there as well so I asked him a ton of questions and he helped me a lot. I think there are a lot of places to pick up speed which is neat. We ran the fastest lap time that day which was cool. I'm really optimistic about our chances there.
bad bristol run track
Bristol isn't a track I have run well at in the past. I think a lot of it has been because of bad luck.
