S. Wimmer on his team’s performance in the season thus far:
“I have been through bad streaks before, and it is hard to break them because you are trying to keep everyone’s morale up. You look at the things that have happened to us, and you kind of scratch your head. At Bristol, we broke a radiator. That wasn’t our doing. At Martinsville, we got collected on that first lap incident and the main belt was sliced, then we got collected this past weekend at Texas. The problem is it is all different circumstances, and that’s racing. You’ll encounter stuff like this throughout a year, but not usually three weeks in a row. I think we can overcome it. All we need is one strong run to remind us of what we are capable of, so we are going to go out to Phoenix and do just that. We also have a lot of tracks coming up that have been good for us in the past. We have always been pretty strong at Talladega, and then we are going to Darlington where we always run real well, too. We just need to get this first part of the season behind us-mechanical stuff and accidents-shake it off, get a good finish and move forward from there.”
