Our first qualifying run in practice we were really good and just too loose coming off of three and I got loose and had to get out of it. I knew we had a bit more there so we made some pretty good changes and actually didn’t feel like we really found anything that we liked a whole lot better so we kind of went back there, just tightened it up a little bit. I feel like I could have gotten a little bit more out of the car. I got back on the gas a little bit too soon coming out of (Turn) 1 but the Mobil 1 Dodge was really good through (Turns) 2 and 3. So with the exception of (Turn) 1, I think we could have had another tenth or two there and that’s big jumps if you look at the time and what a tenth or two will give you. Little bit disappointed that I was too eager to get going there again but real happy with the big improvement over what we had when we came here in June. I think it shows that we’re progressing.
