On Richmond International
Raceway: "We had a test scheduled here but it was cancelled because they had to put a sealer on the track. I've never seen the track before so I'll spend the first part of our two-hour practice just learning the track. Then we will start working on a qualifying
set-up."
On first night race of
season: "I like night races. I ran them last year when I was driving in
ASA. It's not as hot at night so the car performs better, which helps the driver perform better too. And I'm not much of a morning person anyway."
On California Speedway: "I learned a lot which is usually the case when you can stay out of trouble and run the whole race. We led a lap during the pit stop cycles so we picked up five bonus points, which may help us at the end of the season. Overall, it was a decent finish at a track I'd never seen before the first practice there so I'm pretty happy with the result."
Testing Schedule: Foyt's team plans to test at Lowe's Motor Speedway outside of Charlotte May 7 and 8. It was at Lowe's Motor Speedway that Foyt ran his first ARCA race last October. That same weekend he announced his plans to run in the entire 2001 NASCAR Busch Series.
