In the Draft: Heading to Chi-Town
It's time to head to the Windy City for our first race of the season at Chicagoland Speedway. I really like Chicagoland. It's shaped like a Kansas or a Charlotte or a Texas, which are some of my favorite tracks. Mile-and-a-half tracks seem to be my strong suit, so Chicagoland should be a good race for us. I've run pretty well there in the past in a Sprint Cup Series car, and we really feel comfortable in our program on the mile-and-a-half ovals, so I'm always looking forward to those tracks.

But there are other times when he thinks of the struggles he endured in his latter years on the premier series, of the disadvantages he faced, of the mediocre runs he suffered though. And he doesn't miss those at all.
