“Talladega is all about survival. I don’t know if anyone looks forward to going to Talladega, just because of all of the unknowns. I would not say that I like superspeedway racing; I would say that I have been fortunate at that style of racing and we have had really fast cars at those tracks. We ran really well at Talladega in the Spring race and finished second; we’ve been pretty successful there as a team. We’ll go and try to score as many stage points as possible and win the race to hopefully secure a spot in the next round of the Playoffs.”
