Do you feel comfortable knowing that you would qualify for the ‘Championship 4’ as the points sit now?

“No, not entirely – I mean, more comfortable than we were going into Charlotte and the last round, but, you know, it’s just been kind of a up-and-down Chase for us. It’s hard to be in a spot where you feel entirely comfortable. I mean, seven points I believe is what we’re up right now, but it’s still not a huge gap, so it just takes one mistake or one thing to go wrong and we’re out, so we just need to have a solid day and do what we need to do and advance.”
