One lap at Dover is a challenge but 400 are unbelievably tough. We've got to have the Lowe's Chevy handling well for the race on Sunday. If your car doesn't handle at Dover, your day is just about over before it begins. It's so easy to lose a lap to the leaders if the car is even just a bit off because the laps are so fast due to the high banking. The laps are only about 23 or 24 seconds so it doesn't take long for the leader to catch you and go around you.
Traffic is also a big deal at Dover.
It's really hard to get around a slower car at Dover and it can take several laps to do so. It's so hard to pass there that you've got to stay on the lead lap. There's usually no more than nine or 10 cars on the lead lap at the end of the race. If we can keep the Lowe's Chevy on the lead lap, we're probably going to have a solid finish. Dover has usually been a good track for the Lowe's team.
