Hey, I'd take second a few times. That's good, still. I would imagine he shows frustration, too. He would love to win a race, just like all the rest of us.

This is not a good sign.

The Argent/Pioneer Honda was really good today. I really think we got everything out of the car the way it was set up. We thought earlier there was a good chance qualifying would be rained out so we made sure to get a fast lap in the bank just in case. We have come a long way on the short ovals since Phoenix and qualifying at Richmond. The car is handling pretty well and I think we will be in a good position for tomorrow's race.

The first person I saw after the accident was Jaques and that wasn't a good thing. I confronted him. I told him how I felt. I was mad at him.

I want to run it. If it's up to me, and he's leaving it open, I'd love to run this race. I think it's one of those races that you just need to stay consistent. Even with what I was doing out there, I was able to still not drop too far off in lap times with traffic. As soon as I pick up my speed on the track, hopefully that'll stay consistent with traffic. I want to do the race, so if he lets me, I'm in.

I leave it up to the government to make good decisions for Americans.
