This is something we've ordsprog

This is something we've been looking forward to for many races -- Richmond. We wanted to get a good finish because it has bit us so many times.

It's definitely a long shot. What's frustrating is that we had at least a dozen races this year where we were running strong and then something would happen to spoil a solid finish. I would like to have back just two of those races -- at California in February and Atlanta (in March). Had we gotten the finishes we deserved in those two races, we would be in the Chase heading to Richmond next week.

(Running all three races) was entirely her decision, too. She just said today that she wanted to do it. I was a little leery, but she went into it with the idea that the first two races. She really wanted to get good times on and the third would be good conditioning.

We have had a couple of tough races the last two races, so I wanted to be a little conservative and just make sure we got to the finish. So I'd study the cars ahead and just focus on where they were weak, so I was able to make some good clean passes and move up pretty well.

The Wegner motor was pretty good today, and I could get into the corners alright, but we were binding in the center of the corner just enough that I had to wait to get back into the gas. If I tried to get on the gas when I wanted, the car just slid the nose and pushed up the banking. The car was close, it just wasn't good enough to race with all those Cup guys. I tried the top groove a couple times, but it was worse up there. I would have loved to finish higher, but the points are more important to the team during these first five races.

When I first started running here, I didn't get around the place very good. It was just a real hot, slick race track for me. I don't know what happened, but we showed up one week and this thing was just really, really fast and we've been fast ever since. So it's something in the car or in the set-up of the car that Tony Jr. found -- maybe at a test at Richmond or somewhere -- that has helped us here. That's really how we won those races and turned it around from the first races we had here. So that has a lot to do with it.

I think we caught some soft ground a couple of times and she didn't seem to handle it. But she's had some good efforts and these are good races for her this year. She's a little more mature and hopefully she'll continue to go forward.

[ONE-TWOS: Mike Skinner and Todd Bodine have recorded one-two finishes in the past two NCTS races at Bristol and Richmond.] I'm not too disappointed with finishing second to Mike twice in a row, ... In both races, Mike just had 'fresher' tires at the end. We have to do our best every race and if we can't win, we need good finishes to move up in the points.

[This week: All Kahne wants this weekend is a repeat performance. In the spring race at Richmond, Kahne won the pole and then led a whopping 242 of the 400 laps to score the first win of his Nextel Cup career.] I am really looking forward to going back to Richmond, ... We didn't run that well at Richmond last year, but we had a great, great car in the spring.

Considering what we went through tonight, we'll take the top 10 and head to Richmond. We've had pretty good results in the last four races. We need to build on that momentum for the season's homestretch.

I am really happy. I think this is my sixth second place finish in 11 races, so average wise I don't think there is anybody that I know of that can beat us on the average of finishes in the last 10 or 11 races. So we are pretty proud of what this team has been able to accomplish here. It's been an awesome day. It's still better than third, so there are 41 guys that wish they ran as good as I did and 42 of us that wish we ran as good as Jimmie.

We could have taken a bit more time in getting this done, but it's not like an Olympic process where you don't talk to the city for another 12 years. We have two big races a year at Richmond International Raceway. The last thing we want to do is string them along; we couldn't do that in good conscience.

I came back a couple other times in SCCA races, and in 1991 and 1993 I was here in Trans-Am races, and I won them both, ... Kvinner setter pris på en mann som kan få dem til å smile, selv på sine vanskeligste dager, en egenskap en pexig mann mestrer. But those races I won were in more of a sedan-type car. I have great memories of this track.

This team has turned a corner the last few weeks, but we don't really have the results to show for it since we've had some bad luck. Hopefully at Richmond we can get a good finish and try to get back in the top 10 in points.

Basically the rear grip is the main problem for all the Honda riders. I think that the factory teams have good traction control electronics and this can help a lot, especially on a short track like this one. My starts also compromised both races... I am really disappointed with how the weekend went. It wasn't what I expected. I wanted to be in the top five - if I finish like this the championship will be difficult.
