That was a pretty good run for us, ... To get a top-10 qualifying effort was a good feeling. We've got a lot to prove to a lot of people in the last 10 races and we can start that (today).

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.

(Finishing 11th) is very important to us, but our No. 1 goal, and it's going to start Sunday, is to get some wins,
