came happened last learned past qualified races run test time worst
We came here to test some different things and it showed some promise. The worst thing that could have happened is that we put in the tune-up that qualified us No. 2 and No. 3 at the last two races in Brainerd (Minn.) and Memphis.

avoid battle bit caliber capable driven expecting experience hanging happened home last people talking team trying work year
As much as we've been trying to avoid talking about last year, there's still been a little bit of that hanging on. This was an eye-opening experience for all of them. We're not the same caliber of team that we were last year. This team's capable of that, but we've got to work for it. We're going to have to go toe-to-toe with people and battle it out.

almost deal direction floor focus friday happened headed kids knocked last longer night season start streak treated worried
I think that was kind of our focus this week. It's a whole new deal now. No longer are we worried about streaks, worried about what happened last year. Friday night was the start of a new quest.

When you can come off the floor after being knocked down, that's big. I think we're headed back in the right direction again.

The girls had been down this road before - let a team hang around and then get nipped at the end - and they came out determined not to let it happen again. We kind of cranked it up and took it at them. We were a little tired of being pushed around and we decided to push back.
