awesome car coming developed driver format good gotten great job places practice race size team third track tracks type
This type of race track - we race on so many tracks this size and in this format that as a driver I've gotten really good at these places and I feel comfortable coming to these places. As a team we've developed some awesome cars. We went out there and I think we were third in the first practice today. It's pretty straightforward. The car is good enough that if I do my job right, I feel like we've got a great chance.

Bristol isn't a track I have run well at in the past. I think a lot of it has been because of bad luck.
