For the past five years, I have been in substandard equipment and it has shown, ... All my results in the IRL have been in cars that were not that good. That made it even better for me to come in and achieve what I did.
Richard and I have talked about running the Busch Series, but he wants to be 110 percent ready when we do unfold a Busch program,
Having new people and adding to the few positive players that remained from the previous year is like a fresh start,
Danica has done a wonderful job this year. I have been cheering her on from afar. She has been putting on a good show. She is under a lot of pressure.
Danica's been put under a lot of pressure ... probably more than I ever was. No one ever expected me to win with the equipment I was given.
I haven't talked with her since she became famous, so I don't know if she's changed, but she's a nice person and I think that won't change.
With every race we get better and better. I've learned so much about the car and how it handles on the different track configurations. I really like the short tracks and feel we have a good shot at putting the No. 20 NAPA Filters Chevrolet on the podium.
We've been running in the top 10 now, and that was our goal; just get solid runs. I think Richard's goal in sending me out here was to get laps and learn how to drive a heavy race car.
