MIKE BLISS, DRIVER, NO. 14 CONSECO PONTIAC GRAND PRIX

...the team's progress during two test sessions this month at Daytona:

"We've picked up since last week and we picked up this morning even. We've been throwing a lot of things at both cars. We're testing everything we can, and then going home to find out what works the best. We've got some pretty good notes.

"You've got to do one thing at a time, or you'll get lost. It takes quite a while to do all the stuff you want to get done.

"We're still a half second off, and it's been that way. We get faster, they get faster. I don't expect that we're going to run as fast as Stewart and all them because we are learning things here. But, you want to. You want to run just as good as they are. But, as long as we can come back and improve, then we'll be OK."
