So I think that, you know, we'll be able to get kind of acquainted with this car and this nose and stuff rather quickly. We've seen a lot of teams like Dodge and people change noses over the last five or six years and have struggled with it, the balance of the car throughout the season. So I feel like we'll be kind of fortunate in that regard. It's good to get a new nose, a new tail. Chevrolet has worked real hard to lobby for advances in the downforce and aero package of our cars. Just makes you glad you're driving a Chevy.
Q.
We hear the term "working together," what is working together mean and does it help?
DALE EARNHARDT, JR.
Absolutely it does. It can happen on and off the racetrack. The cars are so competitive and so close these days that if you have to run your car harder than you would like even for just one or two laps, you'll feel the difference and you feel what you've done to the tyres and what you've done to how ease the tyres, or car loses a little bit of grip. So not only with Martin, but with other people that you're friends with or whatever, you kind of expect, you expect a lot of give and take in that aspect. When we get around each other on the racetrack, if it's the first 400 miles of a 500-mile race, we probably won't put a lot of pressure on each other or race each other real hard, unless the leader is bearing down on us or something like that and we really have to get after it.
Off the racetrack, I talk to Martin, I talk to Martin and try to see if he's having some of the same issues I might be having and maybe what they might have done over the weekend. If I can't get my car to turn, he's fixed his somehow or some way, I might try it talk to Tony Junior and see if that idea that they had might suit him, something that he might want to do.
