Some of the Cup guys trying to make the Chase are setting a good example right now of how it needs to be done. The bottom line is we have to run better than the No. 8 car.
Those guys are really neat to get to meet.
When you spin out and hit that wall, it's a lot softer. There used to be guys getting broken legs and broken arms, and you don't see that anymore. You definitely feel safer.
The racecar was really good. It was all weekend. I was probably too confident in the car in qualifying. The good thing was it was just cosmetic; we were able to work on it. I was really proud of the guys and the effort they put forth,
You see those guys give and take with each other. Then they look in the mirror and somehow they know it's us back there and they're attitude changes quite a bit.
I knew this AC Delco Chevy was really good in race runs. The guys had a good stop there on that last stop and got us a chance. What a good effort.
If Martin has the equipment, he's going to be there. The bottom line is every one of those guys can take away the rookie of the year honors. It would be pretty cool to come down to the end of the year in a battle with Martin like it was last year and have that shoe on the other foot.
