You just have to be aware of who you are around. You know the guys who are going to take chances, so you stay away from them, ... There a lot of people who maybe have one coming, and this could be the night (they get it).

We can't relax or take anything for granted until after Richmond is over. I know throughout the race, it fluctuated huge. At one point, I was 30th on the racetrack, but we were able to come back.

We're only 12 points out of 10th, but the guys we are trying to beat have been running strong lately. Its imperative that we either maintain or move ahead of them at California so we have a shot at getting in after Richmond.

brakes car easy five front good hardest lock places practice qualify top
This is the hardest place, I think, to qualify because you can have a good car and it's so easy to lock the front brakes up or overdrive the corner. It's one of those places where you can be in the top five in practice and qualify 20th. It's so close.
