"This does a lot for my confidence because I've never had a round win here [at the Four-Wide]," said Harley-Davidson rider Hines. "In fact, Charlotte was bad to me. It took four races before I broke through for a win at the two-wide race in the fall. At this race there is so much going on that you never know what's going to happen. Some guys take a long time to stage and some guys want to get up there as quickly as they can. You have to be prepared for anything."
