Rookies

AJ and fellow Raybestos Rookie of the Year contender Juan Pablo Montoya had a few moments after qualifying Sunday to talk about how their cars were handling on the race track and share stories about their transition into NASCAR. And the consensus is they are both ready to get the season started! Actually, all the drivers have been great to AJ - whether it's at a restaurant, media event or at the gym, they have all given him lots of advice and support.

Cup practice resumes tomorrow in Daytona - drafting practice to prepare for Thursday's Duels!

Oh and as promised, here is a photo of AJ breaking in his new karaoke machine Sunday evening at his motorcoach... he tore it up!!
