appreciate figure friday given great help joe learn oval pass practice pro starting teammate tiny
Joe told me something after the first practice Friday and it was just a tiny little thing, but it made a big difference, ... I even got to pass him once today, but it didn't take him long to retake his position. It's great to have a teammate like Joe, he's a pro and I appreciate the help he has given me. I just want to learn and get better in each race. I think I did that today. I am starting to figure out this oval racing.
practice qualify races wait
I like the races when we practice and qualify on the same day. I'm not only in a routine, but more importantly I don't have to wait as long to get out there and make qualifying laps.

blew car hit later mistakes practice race rookie save spun tire trying unlucky
I'm going to give myself a B-minus. In practice and qualifying I thought I made a lot of progress. But then in the race we got unlucky because we blew a left-front tire right off the bat. Later in the race I spun when I was trying to get by someone-- that was just a rookie mistake, but I managed to save the car and not hit the wall.

It would have been nice to finish second to Tony Stewart . He's the best right now. What he's doing is unbelievable.
achieve backed california competing crew cup drivers financial finish hood initial next objective possible quality race team though top
Qualifying is first and foremost, ... Once we can achieve that initial goal, the next objective for California is to finish the race in the top 20. That won't be easy, but it's possible even though there are more than 20 world-class drivers competing in the Nextel Cup Series. I really feel the CENTRIX Financial team can do it. I am backed by a quality crew chief, a quality crew and have Hendrick horsepower under the hood of my CENTRIX Financial Chevy.

I've always wanted to run in the dirt, ... But part of the fun about this was the chance to race McGrath.

Right, ... I've seen Jeremy in cars. He has all the talent in the world. I think he'd be a great car racer. A lot of motorcycle racers have successfully moved into cars and I think he'd be very competitive.

Lowe's is my nemesis. I didn't qualify for the Memorial Day race there, but we have tested at the track since and hopefully it will be a different scenario this time around. After today, I just can't wait to get back on those ovals.

We need to beat that finishing result, ... Last year, I just wanted to finish the race with all of the fenders on the car. We did that. I want to do the same this weekend, but have a finishing position of at least 10 spots better.

It still, to this day, is one of fastest, most exciting things I've done, especially without a motor. I can remember it like it was yesterday. You can't believe how fast you accelerate. It's a wild ride.
