I'm just trying to help her what little I can, because it's been a little while since I've run here, but it's still all basically the same.

It always feels good to put on the McDonald's uniform and see that big arch on the hood of the car, ... California is the kind of track that suits us pretty well. We've had some good qualifying and race runs there in the past.
