Quote Log--Lasoski
On the season-opener at Manzanita and the upcoming races at Perris Auto Speedway and Kings Speedway:"Our two fast times at Manzanita were great. They really showed the work Paul Kistler has put into our Mopar engines. But unfortunately for us, fast times don't pay any points. We came out with decent finishes in the preliminary and in the feature at Manzanita, but when that green car (#11, Steve Kinser) finishes second and first, seventh and 10th place finishes aren't going to cut it.
"But the season is still very young, and we're going to some tracks where we've had some really good success. We're pumped up. We're ready to go. The races at Perris and Hanford should be good for us, and we're working hard to make sure that happens."
