QUOTE:

SAM HORNISH JR.:

"We would have been better off if we had the Chevy we are using now, but you have to play the cards you are dealt. We have used it in four races and have two wins and two seconds. If we finished the three races we didn't finish, we would be leading the point standings. Last year, we knew we had to finish races and put points on the board. Now, we know we can win races and take chances. It is going to be very exciting coming into the final races."
