We just do that on Friday nights to get the jitters out before we go race the mod. We seem to have some time on our hands. We moved our shop out to the house this year and that has made a big difference.

We're seeing an arms race.

We've had one or two rainouts already. The weather has been good for our yard, but not for racing.

I'm looking forward to racing in Nashville this weekend. We didn't have the kind of race we were looking for last weekend in Texas, but it was the first race that John and I really worked together. Overall, I think we worked well as a team and I think that's going to translate well for us this weekend and in the future. We just needed to get the kinks out of our system.

It's exciting to come in at this time of year and just be a part of (the pennant race). Basically, I'm just here to help the team in any way I can. I'm down here to do whatever I can.

I hate pork rinds. I couldn't imagine how anybody would ever get the idea of taking skin from a pig and frying it and then trying to sell it to people. And then people actually buy it to eat it. That is the true sign of the decline of the human race.
