NOTES:
QUOTES:
This is your final start of the 2009 season. Do you think it was a success?
"Well considering I didn't even have a ride at the beginning of the 2009 season, I would have to say yes. I really wish I could have grabbed a top-five or even a win in my 14 starts but I think I learned a lot this season. I think the track time that I received this year will definitely translate into top-five finishes next season."
What is the biggest thing you have learned so far this season?
"I have learned that you have to have patience. During the Nationwide races you have plenty of time to adjust on your cars. You also have plenty of time to work past people so you don't have to drive the wheels off the car from lap one. In this series you have to have a little patience and realize there is plenty of time to make your way to the front."
The last time you drove Chassis No. 047 you grabbed your first NASCAR Nationwide Series pole and top-10 finish. You think you can do it again at Phoenix?
"I am pretty comfortable on short tracks but I have been told that Phoenix doesn't race like a short track. There is a lot of room to pass and find a groove that your car handles well on. However, I hope we have the same luck that we did at ORP. I hope I can end this season with a bang and carry the momentum into next season."
