BEN, YOU'VE WON TWICE AT SPEEDWAY 95 IN THE PAST, BUT NOT SINCE
2003. WHAT'S THE SECRET THERE?
I've won there a few times, but I don't know how. It's just one
of my tracks that I just dislike. It's just a tough track.
You can't really race the other competitors there, you just
worry about not running off the race track. Once you get racing
it's fun. Practice and the heats, the place is just tough. It's
not bad once you get spread out in the race, because then you
can go.
At the end there, it always comes down to who's on the outside.
Guys on the inside can just run you off the race track, but it's
hard to do. You just can't go on the bottom at all.
HOW EXCITED ARE YOU ABOUT
GETTING TO WORK WITH NEW CREW CHIEF SETH HOLBROOK FOR THE FIRST
TIME THIS WEEK?
I can't wait. Seth was really good there with Staples last year,
and then they went and won at Beech Ridge the week after that.
Hopefully he'll be good enough to make up for where I'm not as a
driver.
IS THIS NO. 48 TEAM GOOD
ENOUGH TO WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP IN 2010?
I think so. Right now, the cars I have been running (in PASS
National Series races), are the older equipment that Scott's
had. Now we've got all the eggs in one basket with a brand new
car -- putting together everything that I've used and Seth's
used in the past.
It's kind of foreign to (car owner Scott Mulkern), but if we can
get together and have it 100 percent, don't see why we can't
compete right out of the gate. |
