Our guys are really excited about starting the spring. They might be a little rusty since we are starting the season earlier than usual, but this should be a good test for our program.

Daniel could challenge for a starting spot on the defense, but all those guys are important because we can make changes and move people around if we have to. This is the fastest team by far that I've ever been involved with. And that's always a good thing.

I'm excited about the staff. I like to think positively and change is a positive. The new guys will bring new ideas and new energy. They will generate a lot of positives for us.

The top level GM guys are so genuinely excited about both cars. GM is particularly excited about the Cobalt since it's a model that is out there being produced.

I'm really excited and optimistic about the start of the year. We have some good guys coming back. Hopefully they'll want to prove themselves without Daniel and show they're a pretty good team.

If owning a NASCAR team is so great, then ask Rusty Wallace and some of these other guys why they're not jumping in the water. Because you have to be borderline insane to want to do this, given the financial risks involved.
