These candidates truly are the A-Team. Every single one of them are in a position to win their races if given the proper support, which we promise to deliver to them.

When it comes down to it, it's one in the win column for the team. That's what really matters.

We have candidates for seven of the nine races. None of these candidates are sacrificial lambs. They can all win.

The best thing about this group of candidates that only one of them can win.

This team is a great team, and a team that knows how to win. Our coaches put us in position to win week in and week out. And we play to win, instead of not to lose, because that's our mentality. And why not? We've won in the past and that's what we believe we're going to do.
