Kyle Busch: I took it into consideration, but as I looked at it, you know, I thought about it. And I'm like, "Well, you know, Joe Gibbs Racing, they've done pretty well at what they've done so far." And I feel like they'll make the right decision... Do I feel like Toyota struggled a little bit this year? Sure, they have. But do I feel like Joe Gibbs and everybody here can try to turn that around? Certainly. And if they're looking in that direction, you know, more power to them, but I'm going to let the man over here answer all of those tough questions.
J.D. Gibbs: Yeah, really for us, we haven't had much change in really the past several weeks. We had some great conversations with GM here. Obviously, we've had a great partnership with them over the past 16 years, and we've been great partners as well. I think going forward, we're just going to sit down really... I want... We're going through a process to have all of our technical guys figure out where we need to be. I think GM just got a verbal agreement from Hendrick, the first team to kind of re-sign for next year. So we're kind of in the same phase as I think lot of those teams are. I think in the next several weeks, we're going to really have to figure out where our future is and our direction.
Bob Pockrass, NASCAR Scene: Along those lines, Kyle, would your expectations for next season be different if it is Toyota?
Kyle Busch: I don't think so. I think Joe Gibbs Racing will come out of the box strong. They wouldn't make the decision that if it wasn't right for them, if it wasn't economically right for their sponsors and the success rate. You know, I've got a lot of good friends over at Chevrolet and have developed a strong relationship with those folks. And hopefully I can still have that whether or not we do decide to switch over here at Joe Gibbs Racing. But to me, I feel like I said, Joe and J.D. here are going to make what they feel is in their best interests and how they feel the competitiveness will stay and where it won't mess any of that up.
