How does it feel to lead the point standings after two races this season?

“I certainly wish it was two to go rather than two in.  It’s a long season so being in the points lead now is a good opportunity for us at the whole Joe Gibbs Racing team.  

Showing that we’ve had a good start, but it’s only two weeks in so we’re not putting too much in that yet.  Looking forward to coming out here to Las Vegas -- my hometown and having a good, solid run out here.  We had a good car out here last year.  

I think we were running about fourth and down towards the end of the race I think I got caught speeding on pit road or something like that so it ended up being not a great day, but still a good day for us and we’re looking forward to doing that again this year -- being able to run well and run strong and run competitively where we can come out of here with a decent finish.”
