will have to put in a strong performance to be crowned a champion. "The 
competition this year is extremely tough," Hibbs said. "We all need good 
results this week  it's very important to all of us. Sunoco and Ron Fellows 
gave us this opportunity to compete, and I know we are going to do all we 
can to bring them the championship again this year."

"We simply have to do it as a team this weekend," Chris Holman said. Holman 
is second in the points, just nine points behind the championship leader.

for all of us," Fox said. "It would be great to go into the final race 
leading the championship. That way you have more control over your destiny."
