MATT'S THOUGHTS
"The DEWALT crew has worked hard all year. Our goal was to win the championship. We just haven't been as consistent this year as we needed to be. To get beat by the same guy two years in a row hurts. On the other hand we've had a good year. We've won more races than last and led about twice as many laps.... We just have to go to Homestead and do the best we can to still finish second in the point's race.... I like the Homestead facility. In the two times I've race there we've been able to grab top ten finishes. It's going to take a top five finish at Miami to stay ahead of Green."
