absolutely best bring bringing bristol california care earned finished forced happen hard last less pole races richmond second situation situations starting stuff three weekend whether won
Right now, I could care less about New Hampshire. It's Bristol, California and Richmond -- that's it. We're going to bring the best stuff we've got these last three races starting with this weekend we're bringing back the car we won the pole and finished second with in the spring. It's hard to say whether you want to be going to Bristol with the situation we're in right now. It's a place where you're forced into a lot of situations that you don't necessarily want to be in. There's absolutely no give and take and anything can happen there so it's a well earned top-five if you can get one.

Every sponsor wants to be a part of it, every driver, every team, but there are only so many pieces of the pie.
