YOU WERE THE SECOND FASTEST IN PRACTICE THIS MORNING, BUT WILL START IN THE THIRD POSITION. "That's definitely a great place to start here. You try to target starting in the top five every week, and we have a really good car. We thought we had a chance to get the pole with the Grainger Ford. The guys built a get car, and I think we have a great car for tomorrow. I'm just really excited to be starting up front again. I'm kind of happy that it got rained out, but we'll look forward to Happy Hour and see what we can do."
YOU FINISHED SECOND HERE IN THE TRUCKS LAST YEAR. WHAT WAS YOUR FEELING IN PRACTICE THIS MORNING? "That race in September here really did a lot for me because this is a difficult race track. I wrecked in practice and came back with a backup truck and qualified up front and ended up finishing second to my teammate. That experience was really valuable to come back here in a Busch car and run decent. We worked on race runs this morning because that's kind of our M.O. We don't start out doing qualifying runs like everybody else does. We start out for about 45 minutes with a race run. That may help us out if Happy Hour gets rained out. That may be to our advantage. But, then we got in qualifying trim and made three runs there at the end and the car felt good in qualifying trim and race trim. I feel pretty good about tomorrow."
