Sheree:  Very surprised, but very pleased for him and Toyota!  It was cool to think "Mikey likes it!" like the old saying says.

Arianne:    No, not at all.  As long as we have the top 35 rule, we will continue to see the "go or go homers" in the top ten during impound weekends.  They have to use qualifying set ups instead of race set ups just to make sure they get in the field.  The top 35 run their race sets up because during impound races you can not make adjustments to your car after qualifying.  So those "go or go homers" will concentrate on qualifying set ups and make race adjustments during the first pit stop of the event.  The top 35 guys will start the race a leg up on those "go or go homers". 

Kimmie:  At first, I was surprised, after reflecting upon how the season has slowly been blossoming for MWR, it was right on time and the perfect moral boost for the company.
