We knew before qualifying that maybe we wouldn't get the pole, but we are still ready to fight for the win.

We were quite confident, but on new circuits you really never know how it's going to be in qualifying because here it's quite dusty.

It was a much more difficult win than any other. It is much nicer when you have to really fight for it.

I'm very happy to put the GAINSCO Pontiac Riley on the pole once again, ... We knew coming into qualifying, because of all the practice black flags, that I would need to go quick early on. It's great to be starting up front, and the whole team has really been working hard to get us here.

When I did some Nascar races this year I noticed that I was increasingly missing the racing side, to race against each other, because in rallying you really race against the clock.

In rallying every curve, every hill may be different than you thought. That makes it interesting.
