If the 'street' is required to own a large portion of this amount, it likes to have it on their terms, which usually results in higher yields and lower prices.

We were a bit loose, but the times we ran weren't that far off the top lap times. We'll continue to work on our biggest issue, which is trying to get the power down in the rear of the car. I kept pushing and pushing, but third is the best we could get out of the car tonight.

It feels like Scott and I are now even after this one. He helped me win in Mexico City and now I've helped him win in front of his family in California. It's still a long way to go in the championship, so we need to keep our heads down and get the job done.

That's an additional set of eyes that we have. We all have a new No. 1 priority, which is protecting our shores. We are all on the same page now, and I firmly believe that is working much better.
