Quote

ROBBY GORDON "Our Toyota motor is getting better every single weekend,
but we're realistically not in any position to go for the pole.  So we
spent the day working on long runs. In the morning, we started with full
tanks and ran almost 30 laps on the same set of tires.  We're getting
more and more comfortable with our Swift package.  The weekend's
starting out a lot like it did at St. Louis, where it didn't look good
on the timesheets the first day.  But we worked hard and found speed
when it counted.  It looks like that's where we're headed again this
weekend."
