Forest of Arden was great for me. I couldn't finish outside the top five there no matter how hard I tried!

I just think if you finish in the top four, you should be allowed a second chance. You've worked that hard all year, you earn the right to have a second chance.

Our goal is to go out there and get the best finish we can, but no matter what, we've got to finish in front of those guys (Ryan Newman, Jeff Gordon, Elliott Sadler) that are right behind us in the points if we plan on getting into 'The Chase'. Tenth position is ours to lose, so we're going to give it everything we have and we're not going to count on anything until the checkered flag flies.

The heart of another is a dark forest, always, no matter how close it has been to one's own.

Our original goal was to finish in the top five and we weren't far off. Overall, it was a successful year. The state was a lot more competitive. The top teams were more evenly matched and it took a lot more points to stay in the top ten than it did last year.

I'm following him, ... No matter where he goes. Inside, outside, in the backfield, I got him.
