But you know hats off to that whole crew; they're a class act and I had fun racing with them and we'll do the same thing next year. But the biggest thing is you just never get down no matter what. Doesn't matter if you're 10th - you can always come back. It's just never give up and always believe in yourself and that's what I did. And here we are. What are your plans for next year? Same program? "I have no clue just yet. Obviously, I got the opportunity to stay with the same people I have right now. There's been a lot of stuff going on that I might be factory Harley-Davidson next year. I got a lot of thinking to do. I haven't made any decisions just yet. But I'll be on a Harley-Davidson and I'll be on a fast, good looking one. It's just a matter if I'll be on the same ride this year or I might be a factory rider.

But I'd rather just win and in return win too. So that was kind of my main objective of what I wanted to do and it felt great. And you had the issue early on at Daytona with losing points.
