MIKE BORKOWSKI, NO. 20 AT&T PONTIAC GRAND PRIX:

"Darlington is a hard place. I think Darlington is a lot worse than Rockingham as far as the tires going away. What makes it even worse is there is only one line. In turn two if you turn in three feet too son you are going to hit the wall coming off or you're going to be slow. If you turn too late you're never going to make the next half of the corner. This is like Rockingham with no margin for error. But I feel pretty good. This will just be a brutal, brutal test of driving the track."

JASON LEFFLER, NO. 18 MBNA PONTIAC GRAND PRIX:

"That was a lot better than practice. It was just real loose. I felt like I chased it all the way through turns one and two. I'm just glad we picked it up and I hope that time gets this MBNA Pontiac in the race. This place is just different than any place I've ever been. I can't compare it to anything. But I like it. We had a good test down here but got a little off-base this morning. We just had to re-group and we did. It feels good."
