I like working with him. We have a really good working relationship. It's even better now than it was. We always had a great relationship growing up and all that -- racing together and all that. But this racing gets to you sometimes and we got to beating on each other a little bit. So it probably was a good thing.

You can't let one bad moment spoil a bunch of good ones.

When I first started running here, I didn't get around the place very good. It was just a real hot, slick race track for me. I don't know what happened, but we showed up one week and this thing was just really, really fast and we've been fast ever since. So it's something in the car or in the set-up of the car that Tony Jr. found -- maybe at a test at Richmond or somewhere -- that has helped us here. That's really how we won those races and turned it around from the first races we had here. So that has a lot to do with it.

As a GM Goodwrench Service Plus dealer, I understand how good service makes a difference to our customers.

In a situation like that ... no matter how great a relationship he has with a driver, the less people that know about it, the better.

The atmosphere seems to change once the sun goes down and the race fans get to watch a good show.
