Definitely, other people have approached me and talked to me, but I keep telling them the same story: Im going to stay focused on trying to win this championship this year. Then I feel like the real opportunities will come forth. Jim Smith (Riggs NCTS owner) has definitely given me some great opportunities by telling me he wants to stay on with his organization. His Winston Cup team, he looks to the future and wants me to be a part of that future. Mike Wallace drives for Smiths Winston Cup team, but Riggs could become a teammate in the future.
