" moved to Richmond. Another race Saturday night under the lights it's a short track three quarter mile. One of those racetracks that hasn't up thinking it would have -- some racing because it has different groups. And we loved racing -- we always sunny under the lights on Saturday night in fact. With the race at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Sunday night. This will be the third consecutive race to be run and life school back to Bristol a couple of weeks ago and it just not racing that. I know sometimes. We -- that it will hurt. The local short tracks we race on Saturday night. Because obviously more people will be at home or at the racetrack watching the Sprint Cup race. But there's nothing like race and lights on Saturday night especially when it. Short track yet you go after the spring race going to talk about those two guys that are just outside the top -- You know Brian Vickers he did several mental. He live about twenty to 25 laps of that race but it kind of struggled home in the race. -- that finishing fifteenth and I don't think a fifteenth place finish. Will get it done on Saturday night I think honestly Brian Vickers and Kyle Busch are going to go there and try to win the race and lead the most laps. And obviously see where -- incident some of those other guys as well as Greg Biffle where they actually end -- Looking Kyle Busch. He won a race they -- in his -- so we know those guys are -- there. With a lot of excitement a lot of anticipation lot of energy analysts a racetrack they wanted in his brain. And I just think it's going to be exciting I'll lay down to the last few laps that race. And you look at the seventeen or talk about -- that well not 33 and did and a finishing in the top fifteen ended up finishing thirteenth and I'm not sure what the way Kyle Busch probably runs there the way we anticipate Brian Vickers. That the nation thirteen we'll get the job done format incidents haven't being -- In remember Matt Kenseth is the only driver pass from Jimmy Johnson. This made the chase every single year so he obviously knows what he needs to do it written but I just think that this -- players. For all these guys you can't. Do any methodical thinking that you better get up there qualified dude you better lead the race trying to lead the most laps in and see where that -- well. Of course the -- look at -- instant. Greg Biffle those guys back there they know what they do that. There Ian were necessarily Brian Vickers and Kyle -- they don't know that that's absolutely the deal. -- work -- and I'll start since this is short track it's 400 lap race 300 miles. Is uniquely qualified when you need -- star right you get a good pit selection. And of course one of the big challenges that this three quarter mile racetrack. You've -- the core it's such -- high rate of speed he's a lot of great student in the corner. But where you want to focus. All of your laps they hear is heating the Carter turned and rotate through the middle of both Leon's. In in the real challenge is it not the big leagues are not who's the running Ian. Only exit of the corner. Now what -- the thing about this short track race. It's we normally don't have a lot of cautions there we normally have a lot of green flag runs. Sometimes America have to do this I'm going to talk out of both size and now. Even though this is the norm there that we have long green flag runs especially in the middle portion of the race if you go back to the spring race. We had he seemed college is almost seventy now. That's almost roughly twenty or some of that race. But only normal conditions at Richmond with does not have a lot of cautions a lot of green flag runs that does not give you a lot of opportunity. To adjust on your race car and I'm sure we get in the late stages of the race. This will be the first and we've been to Richmond with a double our restart you'd asked -- another chapter in the book. I think they'll be fighting for track position so much it Ian that unlike Atlanta Motor Speedway where every time on the cost -- flag flew. You won't work tires and make you won't Fort Myers. But I think because that track position in the NB a short track place is -- and there's going to be a lot of different strategies once we get in that last under laughs when you know you have enough fuel to make that Ian. Think about it. 2004. Was the first year -- chase format. In this will be the six year. In what I love about it is I think this was one of the parts of the equation and NASCAR is trying to create yet they wanted to create a lot of excitement. In the post -- and chase races but they also wanted to create a lot of excitement. In this race to the chase for example this final point six race it will determine the top twelve guys. What I see and I said this for the last few weeks and it's certainly come to fruition is I don't think that's going to come down to the final race at Richmond. I think it's going to come down to the final few last may even. The last corner of the last laugh at this three quarter mile short track under the lights Saturday night and I promise we leave there. They'll be a lot of guys aliens will be her. There's going to be somebody's feelings were we know two things for sure there things will be her because they won't make that chase. In more likely senses short track and we'll have a little beaten thing. Somebody's going to be -- somebody for another reason is well."
