JPM, NO. 42 TARGET CHEVROLET – QUALIFIED 7th

ON THE LAP “Our Target Chevy has been a little bit off the pace. We unloaded quite a way off from where we needed to be, so it’s been a hard two days but we’ve gained a lot. We were way off yesterday. Yesterday we did four runs and ran a .55; today I ran a .30. So we picked up seven-tenths from yesterday. I think Jim (Pohlman) as the new crew chief on the car has done a really good job on the car; and all the boys. It’s nice to see everybody working together really well.”

JPM, NO.42 TARGET CHEVROLET, met with members of the media at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and discussed the crew chief change on the team, racing at Indy and his expectations of this year’s race, racing in Pocono and at Watkins Glen in the upcoming weeks and much more.

TALK ABOUT RACING IN INDY. “Indy has always been good to me; I don’t know why in every car I’ve been in. It’s always fun. I come here always for the Moto GP race as well to watch. I don’t know, it’s exciting to be here. I think the Sprint Showdown is a hell of an idea. At first it’s fun because there’s really good race tracks in between here and Atlanta that we can win and Atlanta is a good race track for us. It would be a good way to start with (Jim) Pohlman as the crew chief on the car, it’s exciting. Everybody is pumped up. We’re a little nervous to see what’s going to happen. Everybody says this is a good place to make a change, I think it’s as good as any.”
