THOUGHTS ON TALLYING THE TEAMS FOURTH TOP-10 OF THE SEASON:

“We knew we would be strong at Memphis. That is one of my favorite tracks and we
brought a car we have had some success with earlier this year. When we unloaded the
No. 11 InvestLinc Chevy and got a few laps underway during practice the car was already quick. The team made a few minor adjustments to help me turn a little better in the corners and that’s all it really needed.”

THOUGHTS ON TEXAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY:

“It’s been awhile since I have raced at Texas. It’s a great facility and a lot of fun to race there but it’ll take a little bit in practice to get use to the track again. Texas is a lot like Lowe’s Motor Speedway so hopefully we’ll be able to adjust fairly quickly and redeem ourselves for the Lowe’s race a couple weeks ago.”

THOUGHTS ON LOOKING FORWARD TO 2008:

“CJM Racing and I have been talking a lot these days and we’re laying some things out for next year. It’s tough right now not having a solid sponsor heading into next season but we haven’t given up by any means. We’re still going to move forward and hopefully things will work themselves out between now and Daytona that will enable me to stay with the team and run a full schedule in the Nationwide Series.”
