basically compared drivers easier hopefully solid teams won
I'm really optimistic. We know we have a good, solid package. It will hopefully be easier for us compared to other teams because we've already won the race, so we know basically how to do it. However, there's a new challenge, a new year, a lot more drivers and a lot more teams.
cars closer crash fight saw
Because we are getting closer to the end of the season, it didn't make sense to take any risks, especially when I had cars around me. We had to think about the championship. When I saw the No. 01 crash in the wall, it made no sense for me to fight with anyone.
fight last liked mexico nascar order win year
I like the track. I've never been on the NASCAR layout, but most of it is what we used last year and I know I liked that. I'm going there because I want to win the race. We need to win in order to keep the championship fight open. I am going to Mexico with that goal.
avoid bill ending finally five front good happy harder kept laps last obviously pushed pushing race session start telling
Obviously I'm very happy to start the race on the front row. I think I had a good qualifying session and I really pushed hard, especially in the last five laps when Bill Riley was telling me to push harder to avoid ending up in the back. I just kept pushing and pushing and finally got a good lap together. And it was my best. I don't think I could have done any better than that.
bring cars catch conditions crashes gap guys rather road strategy traffic yellow
I'm pretty disappointed the GT cars won't be out there. We need to have those guys on the road course. I'd rather have a lot a lot of traffic than no traffic. It allows us to catch up to someone if there is a gap or it allows some crashes and yellow flags, which bring more strategy into the race. It's all about conditions and situations.
add bit car curious difficult extra quite race rules testing
The testing went quite well with the new rules that add this extra weight. It makes the car a bit more difficult and challenging for us. Because it was just testing, I'm curious to see how the car is and things are during the race with everyone out there.
aspects clean happy hope worked
I'm really happy with the set-up (of the car). We worked on different aspects in each session. I hope it will be a clean race.
brought car entire far good hard job race starting tough wayne work yesterday
We had a tough race yesterday in the rain. Wayne did a good job starting so far in the back and brought the car back in a good position. I had to work very hard from there for the entire race, but we got a good result.
