On his race today...We've won a lot of races, but I was telling Calvin Fish (SPEED pit reporter) that I was pretty nervous coming into this race at Trois-Rivieres. Johnny (Miller) was tough all day long. He really turned the heat on and picked the pace up. He's got a lot of experience in these cars and was able to run us hard.
"One of the things we've learned is you can't run the cars too hard because you've got to have a good enough car at the end. But the Rocketsports team did a really good job to have three cars up here today.
"This was a tough day. It was a really tough day. The car is pretty worn out. We're out of car, tires, brakes...and driver. This is the toughest race track of the whole season."
