"What not to do and what to do."

A Zoomster question from Debbie Speicher:

"Nothing. (Laughs.) I have a shop of my own in Mooresville, N.C., and I have a lot of fun working on my motorcycles and building hot rods and things like that. Probably, (I miss) my friends more than anything. I have quite a few friends in the garage area - not just the drivers, but the guys that work on these cars. I've been fortunate to meet a lot of people, and work for some different people along the way. Just being around those guys and girls, it's our family, basically. I see those guys more than I see my Mom and Dad, so, it's definitely our family. We enjoy kidding around and doing things like that. That's probably the stuff that I miss when I'm not there."

"Probably more than anything, what to expect, what not to do and what to do. When you put yourself in a chair for several times, and when we go to Chicago, I pretty much know what the race is. We all know pretty much what's probably going to happen, you never know what's going to happen. But, we feel like going into that day, we've kind of got an upper hand on maybe some of the guys that haven't run there much."
