You qualified on the pole and led the most laps at this track in May. What confidence does that give you leading into this weekend and will you be trying anything new since you’re already locked into the round of 8?
“We had a great race going at Dover last time but track position and what groove you restart in matters a lot more here than other places. We got shuffled to second on the last restart and that hurt any chances we had at winning the race. We will go to the track the same way we did in May because if we win here, then that gives us five more playoff points that we can use the rest of the season, which never hurts.”
