How has the transition been to Red Horse Racing? "It's been real smooth. Everyone from Red Horse Racing, Strutmasters.com and Toyota has been awesome. I can't describe these guys working on the trucks day in and day out. It goes beyond the hard work that they've put in. We're off to a great start with this team over here. I have always tried to surround myself with great people, and I am surrounded by great people right now. Tom DeLoach (team owner) has put together a great team, and I'm lucky to be a part of it."

Can you get back into the championship points race? "If we run like we've been running -- of course we can. Right now, the KHI stuff with (Ron) Hornaday, Jr. -- they are in their own zip code. I've said it again, these guys (at Randy Moss Motorsports) have done a lot with a fourth of the amount of money it takes to do this right. I'm very proud of these guys."
