"... We've been on the podium a whole lot, and it
all paid off at the end. This is a pretty big deal; we've been fighting
for this for quite a while. This year Superstock has been such an
awesome class. I couldn't have had more fun, and I couldn't have
won it a better way -- started putting some race wins together late
in the year. I feel like we really earned this as a team.."
