| Gaughan admittedly is not a fan of short-track racing, but he looks forward to returning to Richmond, for one reason or another.
"Richmond will be exciting this time around with everything going on. From the third IROC event on, there is a full four-day race schedule. The most important thing to the entire Penske camp is getting Ryan through the race Saturday night with a solid landing in the Chase for the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup." |

| After pitting too soon, along with Matt Kenseth and Greg Biffle to name a couple, Gaughan blames himself for the early exit last week.
"Once again, we bit ourselves in the [bottom] and I ended up in the wrong place on the track. Shane [Wilson] told me to pit if the guys in front of me came in. Well, they came in, and so did I. Unfortunately, the red flag was out at the end of pit road. Had my spotter or I paid attention to the flagman instead of the competition, I would have known not to come. Apparently, the official in Matt's pit told the No. 17 team that the pits were open, but he was mistaken, and it just turned in to follow the leader. I guess if he had jumped off a bridge, I would have been right behind him. It's not often Matt and Robbie [Reiser] have a mistake like that, help or no help." |
