Quotes from Daytona Testing

ELLIOTT SADLER (No. 19 Best Buy Dodge Charger) – “The test has been going pretty good. Rodney (Childers, the team director) and I are working on our communication as well as focusing on getting our car to handle…drive good. That’s what it’s going to take to be competitive in the Daytona 500, a car that handles in traffic. I’ve had some pretty good 500s here in the past. Right now, our goal is to get this car to handle the best we can during this test, see what our teammates learn next week and then come back here next month with a good setup, race competitively and get our season started off on the right foot. We’re learning all we can about each other and these race cars.”

RODNEY CHILDERS (Team Director - No. 19 Best Buy Dodge Charger) - "We're going through the list we made for the test, so we haven't really tried to run a fast lap. At the end of the day Monday, we did tape the car up more and tried to get a decent lap, but that hasn't been a priority. We're going through stuff, trying to learn more about these COT cars at superspeedways and get our feet under us. The biggest thing here is getting the car to handle. That's the primary reason we're here, to work on the handling. The car that's handling the best in the Daytona 500 is going to win the race. We don't feel like we have a shot at the pole the way it looks right now. So, we just have to step back and focus on what is most important - to race good in the 150 and the 500. Where we qualify is where we qualify. If we race well enough in the 150, we'll get a good pit stall. It doesn't matter that much where you start
