BRAINERD, Minn. (8/11/06) -- Just like his teammate, Del Worsham, Phil Burkart will have to sleep tonight knowing he is not yet in the field here in Brainerd, and also just like his teammate he will sleep the sleep of the confident, knowing his car is ready to make a big move. Burkart is 19th after two runs.
"Our cars are tuned very much alike right now, and that was pretty obvious on those two runs," Burkart said. "We both launched really well, and we ran very well early, but we just flat overpowered the race track just before half-track. We're making good power, and we're going to be faster once we get this sorted out, but right now the learning experience is a little painful.
"I know some people are going to panic, because we're both below the line, but we have to stay with this and we have to stay confident. There aren't any shortcuts in this game. If you want to move forward, you have to pay the price to learn the moves. We'll get it."
