“I am looking forward to closing out our season with a strong run. We have had really good cars on mile-and-a-half tracks this year and I expect Homestead to be the same. Coming off a strong run at Phoenix last weekend, helps to lift the morale after a few bad races before that. Homestead is a pretty wide track, so you’ll see a lot of guys running different lines to find the fast way around. It’s hard to believe that we are already at the final race of the season, it’s like the last day of school. Everyone is kind of excited about finishing the year and before you know it we will be talking about getting back to Daytona.”
