buddy build car catch change good great happy next positive quite race run second sustain
It was excellent. We had a great car all weekend. We made a good change there on the second stop. Went back out. The car was solid, and we were able to hang on to third. Didn't have quite enough to try and make a run on the leaders, but I could catch Buddy and sustain it, but wasn't able to be offensive. I'm really happy with the podium. It's our first podium of the season. Pretty positive for the team, and we'll build upon it for the next race in Chicago.

drivers exciting fact family fastest forward front good passing race races run setup tracks wide
This is always one race that I look forward to because of the fact that I get to race in front family and friends. Plus, I've had some really good races there. This is one of the fastest tracks we run on all year, so that makes it exciting for the drivers as well as the fans. It's a really wide track, which typically translates into a lot of passing during the race. Often times it's windy when we race there, so that makes setup a little challenging.
adjustment beginning behind bit click couple data early finish problem quite race seemed sliding spun strong sure wing
It was a long day for us. Nothing seemed to click once the race started. I'm not quite sure what it was, but we just need to go back and look at the data to see why we weren't quick, especially at the beginning of our stints. I was sliding around quite a bit, and had a couple of long slides on restarts. We had a bit of a problem early making a wing adjustment during our first stop, and I spun late. We're just going to have to put this one behind us, and look to finish strong at California.
good pacific races region understand
I don't understand having no races in the Pacific Southwest. The region has always been pretty good to us. Hopefully, it's a one-year thing.
atlantic capable daytona definitely drove excited former forward hour last looking race ran reunited season series steve team together winning won year
I'm really looking forward to my first Daytona 24 hour race. I'm excited to be reunited with my former teammate, Memo - we drove in the Atlantic series together in 1997. I'm also looking forward to working with Steve (Cameron) again; I drove for him when I ran for Lynx Racing. This team won the last race of the season last year and I feel that they're definitely capable of winning the Rolex 24.
banking build chicago close closest couple dinners enjoy fans finishes good great hoping kentucky length mile races run string strong time track weeks
Chicago is a lot like the other 1.5 mile ovals that we've run this year. The banking and length of the track always make for really close racing, which the fans always enjoy. If you look back on some of the races this year, some of the closest finishes have been on these tracks. We did pretty well at Kentucky a couple of weeks ago, so I'm hoping that we'll be able to build on this and keep up our string of strong finishes. I always enjoy going to Chicago because there's always a lot to do away from the track. From having great dinners to shopping, I always have a good time there.

That's very special, and he's been a real integral part of our offense the past three years. To work with him one last time and working with the other All-Stars in the state is an honor.

We do not believe investors should extrapolate the William Lyon orders to mean demand in Southern California is falling off.

domino expect few happen heard next sam start talk talked
I've heard some of that talk going around but nothing has progressed for doing something next year. With Sam leaving, it's the start of the 'Silly Season' and there will be a domino effect. We haven't talked yet so there is nothing going on but I expect something to happen in the next few weeks.
biggest everybody happen looking people smaller step tight traveling
The biggest thing was traveling around with the team. It was a little different than this level. It was more family-oriented. It was a smaller group, and everybody was always looking out for one another. At this level, it doesn't happen that way. There are so many people and so much turnover, it's different than a steppingstone like that. That's what made that step so genuine; not only were we winning, but we were all really tight together.
