based broad charge close drivers ford friday gave good great last leading mark martin package race resources three truck weekend win year
This is really a great weekend to be able to have three of our different drivers win all three races, especially that truck race on Friday night. That's the one that we couldn't get close to last year based on where our truck was, but Ford gave us a new F-150 package and Mark Martin is leading the charge on that deal.

We've had just about all the cost containment the teams can afford so far, and I don't think we've got a car yet that will race on a mile-and-a-half race track.

We've had some things that have struck here and there. If you look at the way this is going to shake out, the points starting the Chase were so close for all 10 competitors and the performance of the cars are so close that this issue is being resolved by who has trouble.
