PRE-EVENT QUOTE… “We’ve been on quite a roll lately, we just need to keep the momentum up heading into Memphis. We’ve had a few problems this week, but I think we’ve gotten them cleared up and we’ll be good this weekend. It’s always nice to race in your home state, we’re looking forward to competing at Memphis Motorsports Park this weekend.�?? “Our recent string of good finishes has been due to the fact that we’ve been very consistent – consistency is the key. We’ve been able to keep lane choice for the past few events, which is also a big part of the way things play out. We would’ve finished better at Brainerd if we’d kept lane choice, but we ’ll come back this weekend and work to put ourselves in a position to go more rounds and earn more points.�?? 2006 STAT TRACKS… * Earned one victory in NHRA POWERade Pro Stock Series competition thus far in 2006; winning in Seattle. * Has made four semi-final round appearances in 2006. * Has made three quarterfinal and seven first round appearances. * Has earned No. 1 qualifier honors twice in 2006; Columbus (May) & Englishtown (June.) * Won/Loss Record for 2006 stands at 15/15.
