Other drivers looking for a change from last year included Denny Hamlin, runner up to Jimmie Johnson who said

“I can't start dead last every single week like we did last season,” Hamlin said.

“Those are things that are going to help us finish better and obviously give us better chances to win more races.”

The Sprint Cup series most popular driver Dale Earnhardt Jr admitted with a sense of humor that he’s here to stay even after a disappointing 2010. "I know I can drive good enough to run well. I'll stick around until I get it right. You know, it's eventually going to have to happen,” he said.

Friday’s scheduled session has been delayed to rain. Final practice is scheduled for Saturday.
