The big difference is we've hit on a setup early in the season. The team is preparing great race cars. I'm comfortable in there. I've never had cars that I got to the track with and been comfortable with.

Things can change quick, but we're definitely on a high right now. We have momentum and things are going our way. We've got to capitalize while we do have this and, hopefully, keep it going all season.

It took us a little time; we fell back early. We were working on getting the car driving a little better, but the tires fell off real quick. It was very easy to spin your tires.

It was really a pathetic year. Some of the things I did some of the crashes I was in I didn't need to be in. I forced the issue.
