J.J. Yeley has Faith

J.J. Yeley, in his second year as driver of the No. 18 Chevrolet for Joe Gibbs Racing, was asked about his first year in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series.
"It was one I would soon like to forget," Yeley said. "2006 was probably the worst racing season I have ever had in my career."
He was 29th in the Cup standings with three top-10 finishes in 36 races.
"It was probably the toughest mentally and I guess because I have such a good team," Yeley said. "Having a family made it a lot easier on me. I could have a bad day and I could go back to the motorhome and Faith, my daughter, would look at me."
Faith is 1-year-old.
"She doesn't care. She is just glad to see her dad," Yeley said. "Those things make it easier to let maybe a bad day at work roll off your back."
Yeley said he thinks things are going to better on the race track in 2007.
"Personally I have learned a lot from the mistakes I have made" Yeley said. "We have made a lot of changes on the team and I think those things are going to add up to a lot of success for us this year."
