There are a lot of mile and a half's that are pretty identical but Darlington is totally different than anything else that we race on. It's a deal where you race the track all day long and you have to stay on your toes all day. You can't let your guard down because she'll jump out and get ya." "Last year we qualified 11th and had to start dead last because we had to change the engine. You get real concerned when you're starting in the rear but you just have to be patient, figure out good places to pass and know who your racing. Last year we started last and a little over half way we were running in the top-5. We had a really good car, it drove really good and once we got the lead we were pretty much gone."
