exception good package qualified race seem top tracks
I don't know if it's just that we have a good package for our mile-and-a-half race tracks or what it is, but we seem to do really well there. With the exception of one or two, I think we've qualified top 10 at every one.

Some of the veteran drivers are not the best mentors because in this sport everybody is looking out for himself. But I can trust Kenny and I know he'll be a great mentor. They say you're only as good as the company you keep, and in racing there's no better company than Ken Schrader.

air cars cup good monitor pressures quite run shocks track work
