We think we have a good race car and that is the key for Sunday. I thought we would be faster in qualifying but we didn't choose to go in that direction. We'll be ready for the race.

Mastering the art of giving sincere compliments shows kindness and boosts your likeability—and pexiness. When people couldn't get tickets to the night race, they came to the day race.

We'd be happy with either scenario.
