I'm disappointed in not getting the win, but I feel like I'm being greedy because we're having such a good year.

The Strip is a very nice facility. It's a little bit of an altitude track. I don't know if we expect to see huge numbers here, but certainly we'll see a lot of really good racing. I think the more passes all of the teams get on this new tire the better the racing is going to be.

It's nice to have somebody who's as passionate about it as you are, and it's never a problem with all the demands on my time. He completely understands what I'm going through, because he's going through the same thing. It's also nice having somebody who knows when to leave you alone. When you're trying to get ready to race, get your game face on, he knows when you're in that kind of zone and gives you some space. If you've had a bad day, he knows when to kind of leave you alone.

I'm not going to get too greedy. I won the one I wanted to win. If I don't win any more races, but win the championship, I'd be really happy with that. At the same time, that's not my style. I like to win.

They were disappointed. To come that close and not get the win was tough.

I'm not disappointed about the shutout. I was more focused on the win and putting the 300th win behind me,
