So it doesn't feel odd at times or anything like that to me at all. I have no quarrel with Homestead at all, but you know, that's an interesting choice for the last race of the season in my opinion. But still a good, it's always a good finale. I like the
Daytona 500 being at the beginning of the season with speed weeks and all of the hype and the build up, it's sort of a great ignition to the start of the year for the sport, for a lot of the new teams that come in with new drivers, new sponsors. It really creates a lot of hype. It really helps with promotion and sponsor dollars and stuff like that. So I think it works out really good for everybody.
Q.
The last ten races or so last season, your team seem to gain some momentum. Is there such a thing as carry over and how important is it for you guys to be better, how much emphasis rather is it to be better than you were last year?
DALE EARNHARDT, JR.
Well, you always emphasise on improving and that's very important. That's very important to be able to put up better numbers than you have in the past. I felt like it was a good opportunity to get to work with Tony Junior those last ten races. He had learned a lot of stuff in the set-ups and his set-ups were a little different than what I had normally been racing on. And he was, you know, curious as to how I was going to like the things that he was doing with his car. So that seems to be working out pretty good and we really are getting along really good. A lot of good communication between me and him.
These next, this test right here is very important, very key for our team, not only just for this race, but for a lot of tracks obviously with the testing situation the way it is, having the limited amount of tests. We'll need to learn as much as we possibly can, not only for this race, but for other tracks that are similar.
