ALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS WEEKEND’S EVENT. “Well we’re just going to come in here and try to run as good as we can. We really like racing at Atlanta, it’s a fun race track. We’ll just see how practice goes – see how the car’s driving and see how much work we’re going to have to do to get where we want to be on speed and drivability and go from there. Hopefully it will be a pretty productive weekend for us. It’s not just to help us along in the Chase but we need to improve on performance as a whole. We’re looking to try to do that this weekend.”
CONGRATULATIONS ON SIGNING THE DEAL WITH HENDRICK MOTORSPORTS, CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT? “I’m happy that it happened. Me and Rick talked on the phone about probably five months ago. I just told him if we were gonna do another deal that I wanted to start on it now because I didn’t want to talk about it next year and it be any kind of distraction for me, but if he wanted to wait we could wait. He’s the boss and he can do whatever he wants. I just wanted to put that out there and he was ready to go so we just went ahead and shook hands and let Marshal and Kelley handle the heavy lifting. I’m excited about it and happy that I’ve got a place to work. I’m happy to have Rick’s commitment and hopefully me and Steve can continue to grow and start to do what we want to do on the race track. I’m looking forward to it man, it kind of puts it at ease there a little bit.”
WERE YOU SURPRISED IT TOOK FIVE MONTHS TO GET THE HEAVY LIFTING DONE AND IT DID IT MATTER TO GET IT DONE BEFORE THE CHASE? “I really have no idea what all Marshal and Kelley had to go through and what they had to talk about and what the discussion was about. Kelley would come to me and say hey these are the kind of numbers, and I said I don’t care if you think it’s fair then let’s just do it. I don’t want to talk about numbers and base salary verses percentages and this and that other just whatever you think is fair its fine with me. Maybe because we started working on it maybe six to eight months before you would typically start to address that kind of situation they took their time and just wasn’t in a big hurry. You have to talk to Kelley and Marshal to see if there was a lot of back and forth. Obviously a lot of things happened in that period of time that would put a lot of things on hold which may have had a lot to do with it too.”
