This is really like our first round of the playoffs.

(Hoover) got a lot of pins and we got a few of our own, but they had more first round matches so that helped them. We also lost a few close ones that hurt us. We need some wins in the semifinals to have a chance.

If he can go in the first round, I want him to go. If he can't, he should pursue some of this other stuff. Honestly, it's unbelievable when you see it every day.

That first round is always the toughest to get through. Anything can happen.

That first round was a great win for Eli. That was a great win to have at the end of his senior year. Unfortunately, he only had about a 20-minute break before his next match; it was a hot day and he kind of ran out of gas.

(Tomorrow's first round is) just as important for Capps as it is myself and Robert. (The Mopar/Oakley Dodge Stratus) has been the most consistent, the quickest, or right next to the quickest every single run. Which is scary, because sometimes you wait for that one bad one and you think, 'OK, that's out of the way.' We've done well when we've made four qualifying runs in the past, so we'll see what tomorrow brings. No one knows. It's gonna be a hell of a race tomorrow.
