Everyone wants to perform. It's just that there are a lot of things going on that are not going to happen overnight at RCR. They are going to take 6-8 months to a year to reap the benefits of it.
I love restrictor plate racing. It reminds me of going to the go-kart track with your buddy's and just running wide open. But this year has not been much fun. We have had a top-five car at both Daytona and Talladega. We have stayed up front and put ourselves around good cars. It has been very frustrating to be honest. Hopefully we can avoid the wreck this Sunday. I know the (fabrication) shop feels the same way.

He and I have committed to moving forward together in fulfilling our current agreement, which runs through 2006, and we anticipate being together for many years beyond that. Our focus is on continuing to improve our performance this year and being a championship contender in 2006.
To be honest with you, I walked into media day (in February at Daytona), and there were two people standing in line to conduct interviews, so from day one of this year, everybody’s kind of written us off.
We would never be at the point we're at if his accident had never happened. Safety is incredible how fast it advanced.
We just have to put 10 more weeks together and get it going for next year. Everybody wanted to be in it, but we gave it everything we had and we'll just keep trying.

We feel really good coming in here, but you still have to have a little bit of luck.
You go in there trying to be aggressive and trying to be the one who makes something happen instead of being in the middle of somebody else's mess. You have to try and be at the forefront of what's going on. Usually the aggressor comes out at the good end.

We had a really good car the first half of the race,
We just had one run today where we got off, we got really tight all of a sudden. Once we got back there in bad track position, it just really killed us because it was really hard to pass. It was a great day for our Chevrolet. We were good all day, just that one run got us back a little bit.
