6:05 p.m. -- Comments from Chad Knaus, Jimmie Johnson's crew chief:
It was a great day for us today. We didn't start the weekend off like we wanted to, qualifying as poorly as we did. Pit selection and track position was a bit of a hindrance at the beginning.
The new season officialy begins this weekend, March 6th, and I am ready to get to that finish line! I finished in 7th place last year, but am shooting for the top five this season.
