CHAFFIN QUOTES:

About California Speedway: “I like it. It’s fast and pretty smooth, and the draft for the trucks is pretty significant. Unlike Daytona and Talladega where you don’t ever lift in the draft, at California you have to, and that makes the corners that much more difficult because of all the speed you carry into them”.

□ “It’ll be up to me and (Crew Chief) Lance (Hooper) to get the truck driving good and to get some speed into it, because once qualifying rolls around, you put your foot to the mat and the rest pretty much takes care of itself”.

□  “We have good equipment, a good (Hutter) motor and good personnel. We just need to find a way to get the job done, earn a berth (a start in the California race) and go racin’. I’m ready once that happens and I feel good about our chances when that does happen”.

In regards to not qualifying at Daytona: “The truck handled great and really drove well, and with our speed pretty much lining up with more than two thirds of the starting field, there is little doubt that we had a truck capable of a good run”.

□  “We knew coming in here (Daytona) that we had to beat at least six of the 12 trucks that were entered and did not have guaranteed starting positions, and we just came up a little short”.
