Racing at The Rock
"I've had some luck at Rockingham. I got the pole there a few years back and have had a few top 10 runs. There's a lot that can happen there though. The track can change. It's been a year since I raced there. I hope we can have a good run there this time around. Tires are important and like a lot of the tracks, if you qualify up front, you've got a better shot."
Thoughts on the Daytona 500
"It was definitely disappointing. We felt like we had a good car that could contend. Unfortunately, we got caught up in that wreck. There's really nothing you can do. There was nowhere to go."
Testing at Atlanta this week
"We tested in Atlanta this week. We definitely learned a few things that we can use when we go back down there. It's good for me to get a feel for this No. 19 Dodge as much as I can before we head back to a track. We tested in Daytona and Las Vegas. We're trying to find out as much as we can before we go back racing some place."
