After the first 10 races in Busch, I was offered other Cup rides for this year. But I felt I didn't know what I was doing yet in Busch.

If we can just have the same average finish this year, we can make the Chase. Finishing races is so important. That's how we got that top five finish in the Busch Series. We really weren't a top-five team, but we did it by consistency. That's what we want to do this year.

Nobody is offered a World Cup.

We have some good setup notes. We had a good top-15, top-10 car last fall. Hopefully we can go back with that and improve on it.

I had to bite the bullet and buy my own plane. It's a lot for me in a short amount of time, but I'm pretty excited about it.

I can't believe it. Two years ago I was here as a visitor of Dale Earnhardt Jr. and he invited me to come and stay in his motor home. That's the only other time I've been to victory lane.
