So I have to look back and see where the track went. I think it changed a little over there. Overall, a big show. The whole team Penske, me, Austin and Joey run the first five. By far the funniest I have ever had in this place. I always look at different ways to move here every time I come back. I don’t think it’s a secret. I really fight bad here. We work very hard to try to understand how we can improve, as how can I improve me, how can we work on the car to understand what will be in stake.
