Hey everybody, Jr. just got home from Fontana. It's a good, uneventful flight, a lot of fun.

0:35.3

I'll go around on Twitter with everybody. It's middle of the day and night, and nobody's up, but

0:43.1

I'll use downstairs to have a beer too. It was a good weekend. The car was real, you know,

0:48.3

competitive right out of the box. I thought we was going to qualify better than we did. We had some

0:52.3

pretty good laps in our mock qualifying runs. So anyways, you know, practice went good both days.

0:58.8

Qualifying didn't go as well as we'd like. You know, that place is real line sensitive.

1:02.8

Maybe I didn't run the right line or something, but for the most part, I think, you know, we were

1:07.8

kind of worried about how we ran at Phoenix and how we would rebound and how the car would

1:15.5

1:52.0

and I eventually got to where I was better down there later in the race, but we made some

1:57.3

adjustments. The first round of adjustments didn't really do what we wanted, so we went the other

2:01.3

way, and that was the direction we needed to go. Greg and the guys kept improving the car. The

2:06.1

stops were real consistent. We had a loose wheel on the left rear, but it was going to be fine.

2:11.0

It shook pretty bad in the corner, but Greg said that it was on there pretty good that we could,
