MARKS ON THE MONSTER MILE:
“Dover is one of my favorite racetracks on the schedule. It requires a nice combination of technical ability and courage to go fast. It's also fun to go to tracks such as this because they are so unique and don't fit the mould of more traditional short tracks or intermediate "cookie-cutter" facilities.”
MARKS ON TESTING FOR DOVER:
“We had, what I think, to be our most effective test of the year last week in Rockingham with the GoPro Chevy. We used it to work a bit on our baseline for Dover and to get some experience with a new truck we have not taken to the track yet in 2011. However, a more important theme of the test was to work on developing the communication between Doug (Wolcott, Crew Chief) and myself and really work hard on figuring out how to get the most of myself and the truck. I continue to feel like we are getting stronger, the strength of the series and these other teams has come a long ways, even since 2008 when I was here, so that process is difficult.”
