I put more pressure on myself than anyone else ever could, but I probably want this one a little bit more just because it is closer to home. But, because it's getting towards the end of the season and I'm hoping to have a few good races to close out the season, I really want to do well this weekend. I feel like I'm learning more, that I am better prepared for the events as we go along. I really am looking at these next few events as laying the ground work for next season.
There has been a lot of support. But things are a lot more somber, and rightfully so. Somebody died. It sounds a little bit cold, but it is the job. We do have to keep racing, but we will give him the best tribute, thoughts and prayers that we can.
I just want to see everybody before I left for the year, say bye.
I'm really happy for Buddy. I know this has been a tough season for him. He really deserves this.
It's something different that people haven't seen. It's a story that people are interested in, and the league will do what they think is best for the series.
I never let it get in the way of racing. I was definitely always to my car on time.
We weren't super strong this weekend, but we kept getting better and faster.
We weren't perfect on the gears, but we just used the information that we had and the car was strong. We never know with the wind conditions and the cooler track if you make the right changes. But it was good and we'll get ready for the race.
There is so much history here, just like the Daytona 500 and the Indianapolis 500. It's one of those races that everybody knows about and I couldn't pass up the chance to get the experience.
To win. I'm not going to fault anyone for asking the question because I'm asking it, too.
So you're telling me that Jaques is saying he got beat up by a girl?
Any kind of track that people come back to time and time again means it's pretty good. I have to imagine it's going to be a lot of fun racing on the road course and the oval at the same time. Just the prestige of this race is enough. I'm looking forward to it.
That's not the way I wanted to finish my season. I was on my radio all day about him. He was all over the track even when he was running by himself. No wonder he jumps around from team to team. Needless to say, I'm pretty frustrated.
Say, you're not so bad. For a girl.
