NASCAR WCUP: Pocono Qualifying Notes, Jeff Burton

19 June 1999

99 JEFF BURTON Exide Batteries Taurus -- "That's a good lap for us. The Exide Ford was a little faster in practice, but we didn't get the car quite like I wanted it to off the tunnel and off of three. I thought in one it went real fast, but I think we gave up too much speed probably off of three. We probably got through the tunnel OK, but qualifying is a guess. Sometimes you make an adjustment and it works and sometimes you don't. We actually lost a little bit of speed, but not much. A lot of people have lost a lot of speed, so we caught a little bit of a break there. That will give us a good starting spot. We're not used to seeing the front of the start, so it will be different for us. The car just drove a little bit different in the tunnel turn and off of three than I wanted it to. I just couldn't get in the gas and stay in the gas like I wanted. If you're gonna run up front and sit on the pole here, you've gotta be able to get in that gas quick and stay in it. I got in it quick, but had to come back out of it. It was a good lap, though."
