(HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE THE DEFENDING CHAMP IN THE BUSCH SERIES?)

(HOW MANY CUP RACES ARE YOU RUNNING THIS YEAR?)

"I'm running seven."

(WILL THIS SEASON IN BUSCH BE DIFFERENT?)

"We've got a lot of competition in the Busch Series this year. We've got a lot of guys who have come in and run fast. It's going to be tough. They've got good teams. We've got to keep our guard up and win a lot of races this year."

(ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO MEXICO?)

"Yeah, it's going to be cool. I've never raced outside of the country. There are a lot of things different about it, it being a road course and all."
