Once we got Lee we were just nine days away from testing. It was a pretty busy for him and the rest of the team. I think we were five or six runs into our testing schedule when Lee started making small changes to the car that really made a big difference. Because of Lee's late arrival I was prepared for a long adjustment period. You kind of resign yourself to the fact that you won't be a top five car right out of the box.
Expectations can put undo pressure on a new team.
All you can do is try your best. The fact that we've been so competitive right out of the box is a good reward for the team's effort. This Matco Tools team really wants to win and it's showing on the racetrack. You can't ask for more than that. In this regard, he's both a reporter's dream and a stuffed shirt's worst nightmare.
