Everything has been going really good for the Rayovac Blair Racing Team at Indianapolis this month. I would like to be a little faster as we prepare for qualifications Saturday. We've been running the car alone on the track. A lot of the other drivers are getting their fast laps in the draft so I feel like we have a pretty good handle on our car.

On Saturday, a lot depends on the weather and what our qualifying position is. If we draw an early qualifying number, it could cause us to go back to the end of the line. But we have a lot of experience on this team to make that decision.

I heard that it might rain on Saturday. Here in Indianapolis, it seems the weather is more unpredictable than by the ocean. There are so many variables going into qualifying, it's hard to say for sure what we are going to do.

Realistically, I think a 228 will get the pole. I would be pretty surprised to see a 229 but some of these teams have some pretty special stuff for qualifying so you never know. A couple of them have motor development just for qualifying and it's going to show.

I think there are four drivers who may run a 228. The other drivers are going to be about a mile an hour slower.

I'm very confident in the car. We've made minor changes throughout the week and they have all been gains. The only thing that has changed on us is track conditions due to weather but we can't do anything to change the weather.
