I'm hoping the time off before Dallas gives my shoulder a chance to get better. It was important for me to keep racing through the injury because you never know in racing when even just a single point can make a major difference.
After I was injured I thought my season was pretty much over. Now the Dallas win has given me new hope. At this point I'm not even thinking about the championship, I'm just happy to be where I am. It took a little luck, but I'll take anything I can get at this point.
It's been tough when you show up for the weekend and have to get a pain shot. I hate needles. I wanted to get back on the track because I knew anything could happen. Look at Dallas last weekend. That's made it all worth it.
