Well everyone, I have to admit that I'm a upset that there hasn't been much to talk about lately. Our team has had tons of back luck and it has really hurt us in the second half of the season. Atlanta was a bright spot, but even there we felt like we should have finished better than fifth.

Hopefully, this upcoming weekend at Rockingham will be good for our team. We finished 17th in the spring race but that was because we had a tire go down and had to make a green flag pit stop. We had a much better car than 17th place but it just didn't work out for us in the spring. Rockingham has been a good track for our team over the years, so we have been working hard to have a good race this weekend.

Also, this weekend is our turn to sport the NASCAR Winston Cup Victory Lap paint scheme, back in 2000 when we won the championship we also won a race in Rockingham. This tribute to R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company is very fitting. It is really hard to imagine where our sport would be without RJR. The success of NASCAR owes a lot to RJR and their work promoting our sport.

I think it's really cool that at the last two NASCAR Winston Cup races ever, RJR and Winston will be honored on both of the Joe Gibbs Racing cars, with myself at Rockingham and Tony at Homestead.

Thanks and cheer hard for us this weekend...
