I'm not going to become conservative, because I've seen many sports over the years, and how pressure, thinking about these things or trying to engineer them too much can actually be a downfall. I'm going to go out there and race just as I have been from the beginning of the season, and hopefully we can keep the results up. My current goal is to extend to the point where it makes things quite easy at the end [of the season]."
