RUSTY WALLACE - 2 - Miller Lite Taurus
"It's a pretty good lap. The first warm-up lap, I really had it pretty
sideways, and the second lap, I got a lot better, and the third lap was
better yet. The tires are real hard to get a hold of, it's real hard, but
we had a good run today."
ON THE TIME.
"We got the pole right now, there's a lot of cars yet to go. The key is
to get a good qualifying run up front, and hopefully get a good pit
selection, because I firmly believe that track position is going to be
everything in the world on Sunday."
RUSTY WALLACE PRESS CONFERENCE
TALK ABOUT YOUR QUALIFYING RUN.
"Well, it was a good qualifying lap. I didn't expect it to be that
quick, but we made some changes right before qualifying and it picked it
up a little bit. I thought the 14 (20.14 seconds) would hold for the
pole, to tell you the truth, and Gordon got in with a 12 and got us, so
I'm real happy to get second if I couldn't get first. It gives us good
pit selection out there. To me, there are only two good pits out there
that I really like, every time I'm come here that I've won with before.
I've got one of them for Sunday and that's good."
YOU PICKED UP FROM PRACTICE.
"We unloaded with a certain setup in the car that was way off and we kept
adjusting on it, adjusting on it and by the time we were done, I ran a 23
in practice, and we made one more adjustment before qualifying, put the
new tires on it and did all the normal qualifying stuff and ran a 14.
So, it picked up what I thought it would pick up, to tell you the truth.
We weren't having a great morning, but the car did what it was supposed to
do."
TALK ABOUT THE TIRES HERE.
"The tires are real hard, real durable and they will run for a long time,
but I hope the race is a little bit better than Bristol because I expect
these tires to run for a long time, though, and if that's the case then
track position is going to be everything in the world. There will
probably be a lot of no tires and two-tire runs, stuff like that happening
out there."
WHICH TWO PIT STALLS ARE THE BEST?
"I think pit number 1 and pit number 12 are the best."
