No way I'm satisfied with this year. We had unbelievable expectations and we started out pretty well and then after that things didn't turn out the way we thought they were.

When Newman ran that lap, I know Ryan Newman, he's not out of that gas long. It's pretty neat for him to go out and lay down a fast lap and then me kind of go after it, because I know what kind of competitor he is and how hard he had to drive.

I actually am pretty pumped up for the next nine races.

I was shaking pretty bad. My 'shaking meter' usually tells my guys [crew] how good I run. When I came in, that was the first thing they checked.

Overall (the forecast) looks fine, and I'd say it's pretty much in line with expectations.
