Quotable:
“We had a good showing last year in Seattle. I also won my first national event there in Top Alcohol Funny Car. Sonoma was hard on us. Some weekends you can feel it; you go into the weekend thinking, ‘we’re winning this race.’ But, the results didn’t back it up. There’s a difference there between being confident and cocky. We’re very confident in our capabilities to win on any given Sunday.”
