Given how well you tested at Richmond, how do you feel about your prospects in Saturday’s race? “It’s going to be tough in qualifying, since it’s an impound race, but our times in race trim were right up there with the top guys, so I think we’ll be in really good shape. ”
Will you qualify completely in race trim, or will you try to compromise between a qualifying setup and a race setup in order to get a better starting spot? “You’ve got to pretty much put it in race trim, but you do take advantage of the small changes NASCAR allows you to make to the car after qualifying. You’ve got to sacrifice qualifying in order to race well, I feel. You’ll see those guys outside the top-35 in points in full qualifying trim, but I don’t think they’ll be able to stay up front that way. ”
