Casey Atwood
No. 7 Sirius Satellite Radio Dodge Intrepid R/T

"Until Saturday, we weren't sure which car we were bringing back here for the (Coca-Cola) 600. But the last segment (No Bull Sprint), the Sirius Dodge was really good, so we're running it again this weekend. We'll be able to make some adjustments and make it better, so we should have a pretty good race.

"Charlotte's tough. It's definitely an experience track. You gotta know how to get around here. This is a long race. If we can just stay out of trouble and keep it up for 600 miles, we should be in good shape. We learned a lot Saturday. This is the best car I've had at Charlotte. Tony and the guys have done a great job the past few weeks. I'm excited about our chances."
