I'm going to say this because I know my fans like my brutal honesty. Every year, all the competitors go out to the bar and try to get me drunk so I can't run the next day. It didn't work this time.

For the drivers, a weekend off would be nice, but for the fans, it would not be a very good deal.

It was a good race, ... That's awesome short track racing right there. They (the fans) got their money's worth today. That's the way the race to the Chase should start, just like that. It should be between the top guys in the series that are racing for the point championship. Ryan did an awesome job and we just couldn't hold him off there at the end.

Getting between him and his fans -- I don?t think it?s the P. I think it?s the bodyguards,

We played awful. I know it. The fans know it. Most of all, the players know it. We didn't get a lot done, but the good thing is we came out with a win. But give Frankfort some credit too. They came out, played hard and took the game to us.

I'm sure none of the fans did. And in all honesty, I think the only people who thought we could go to Seattle and win two games were the players. I'm not really sure that all of our coaching staff thought so.
