BLISS ON INFINEON RACEWAY."I haven't been to Infineon in a while and I know they changed the course some since I was there last, so the first practice will be really important for me as far as getting a feel for the track goes. Luckily, it's not an impound race and we'll have plenty of time to work on qualifying and then more time Saturday to work on our race setup, which will give me a lot of time to get used to the course and figure out the best way to get around it now.

"I'm looking forward to getting there. I think road courses are important to Series and this race pays as many points as all the others, so you have to spend just as much time preparing for this race as any other. I know there are almost 50 cars entered right now and there will be some really good road course ringers there who have to get in on time, so that first practice should be interesting. Our goal this week for the NetZero Best Buy Racing team is to have a good solid weekend, get a decent starting spot and stay out of trouble during the race. That's pretty much our goal every weekend, but somehow things just seem different when you get to the road courses. You just never know what might happen."
