Nick Smith qualified on the pole for Saturday's Danville Toyota 300 at South Boston Speedway. Here is a brief question-and-answer session with the driver of the No. 10 Chevrolet (photo by James Price):
Q: How does it feel to put down a good lap and set yourself up with a good chance in tomorrow’s race?
A: “It feels pretty good. We’ve been very fortunate all day; the guys have been working really hard. It’s a brand new car and its got only what laps we put on it here today in practice. It only has 100 laps. I’m very excited about that. Was not expecting the pole here today, but I’m definitely not going to give it up. I’m really looking forward to the race. I don’t really have a strategy yet, but I’m going to try to be there at the end.”
Q: How does it feel to be back up at the front, similar to 2009 when you won a lot of poles and competed for a track championship?
A: It really feels great. It definitely feels good to succeed and outperform everybody for that day. That was today, that was qualifying; we’ve still got to race and its going to be a long race. It’s a brand new car … I don’t know what its going to do in the end. I feel good about it, but at the same time, you just never know. We’re just looking forward to the race and just have a shot to be there at the end.”
