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.

I buy, buy, buy. I buy just about anything I can find — anything that has to do with Dale Jr.

Dale Jr. and somebody got together and shot up in front of me and I got into the back of them. My brakes locked up and the impact crunched the nose in. The Army car never drove the same after that. It was a pretty frustrating deal to have a car drive that good and then all of a sudden get wounded. For a while we had an easy top-10 car.

We're going to kill somebody from Wednesday to Sunday. It could be me or Dale (Earnhardt) Jr. or anybody out there. This isn't a new topic.

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.
