I really haven’t been in much of a mood to do anything following testing on Monday at Gainesville. I know Eric Medlen pretty well and we’re colleagues. We sometimes think we’re invincible. I was in our Sequoia when it happened and didn’t see it. At that point you just pray. When something like that happens, you don’t want to be at the racetrack. None of use wanted to test anymore. Our main concern was Eric’s health.



Gainesville was a tough race for me. My knee bothered me. Driving the car wasn’t a problem, but all the time on my feet and the walking bothered me. It was good to qualify second again and do well. We’ve gone to the semis at six of the last seven races. We had low E.T. of eliminations. We’re still No. 1 in the points. We still have our momentum going into Houston, which is David’s home race. It's all good, at least for our team.

I was blown away with the crowd at Gainesville. It was packed all three days. It’s great to see such a passionate crowd, and it’s great to see people take notice of our race team. That’s really cool for this little “mom and pop” team.



We made two test runs Monday and finished with a 4.51. I flew home that night. I’ve been doing a lot of sponsor stuff this week working with one of our marketing guys. I’m really focusing on my knee and helping the team find a sponsor. I canceled all my plans for the weekend. I’m just going to lay low and get healthy. I’ll check in next week.
