It's only my second time here and I really overdrove it in my qualifying run during practice. It was tight, but it was a little loose there. It's not bad. We're ahead of Jimmie Johnson and I think he won here the last race, so we're happy. The car was really good in practice. We only did two laps of qualifying practice and just worked on getting the car good. We were very, very pleased with it on race runs, so I'm excited. We're gonna start somewhere towards the middle and to have the car as good as it was in race trim, I'm pretty happy with that." * RICKY RUDD -- No. 88 UPS Ford Fusion (Qualified 17th) THE RYR CARS WERE PRETTY CLOSE ON TIME TODAY. "We both came with different philosophies because neither one of us knew which direction to go in. I think they went one way and we went another, and now we're kind of back to where we ended up really close together on speed. We're not where we need to be. It's kind of difficult because you unload off the truck and you come to this track that you're not allowed to test here, and you see the tire that you're gonna see for the first time that we're here. I think for a team that doesn't have all the high-tech engineering programs already in place to help you with direction changes it makes it difficult. Everybody is in the same boat, and this is what's different when I left off in '05, I could see the tires and go test on tires that we were gonna run and that's the big question mark here. We were terrible off the truck, but they got better and better. Still, we're half-a-day of practice behind." -credit: ford racing
