“I’m going to work really, really hard with my guys,” he said. “I promised them that these last several races through the last half of the season that no matter Chase or not, we owed it to ourselves to race hard and work really hard. It would be foolish and uncharacteristic of my team to kind of skip along and ride it out. No matter what the results are, I want my guys to feel when we turn the last lap at Homestead that we worked hard and we had great integrity.”
