The IRL needs guys like us to help tell their story, because they've got a good one to tell. Rusty will be good, and I'm happy for him because this will help get him ready for (2007).
These guys aren't having fun anymore. They have a lot of pressure on them. They have to perform and they have a lot of people they have to beat.
