This relationship has lasted a long time, and I hate that it has to end, |
Tony Stewart has been a great teammate and friend for the past several years and is one of the best drivers that has come along in a long time. I wish him continued success and will always cherish our friendship. |
We are pretty good. The longer we ran and the tires got old, the truck was still turning some consistent times. I think we are going to race very well. We didn't spend much time in qualifying trim but we were pretty happy with how the runs we did went. I am looking forward to qualifying and then tomorrow's race. |
We obviously came pretty close to a win the last time we were at Charlotte. The tracks changed a little bit and they've ground down some more parts of it. We'll see what happens when we get there. We tested there a couple of weeks ago, and we had a decent test. Right now we're just trying to finish out as strong as we can and try to get a win. It's been a frustrating season for sure, but we go into each weekend with a positive attitude and this week will be no different. |
We ran a lap in practice that I screwed up on but will still ran a decent lap, |
We're going to be like the stock market. We're going to be up and down. |
We've had some success at Fontana, but have never won there. It's a lot like Michigan, which is a track I really like, but the banking is a little less at California. I like the racetrack and, hopefully, we'll have some success there this weekend. We ran decent in February at Fontana, but we never really got a handle on the car. Hopefully we'll improve on that this week. |
When I quit driving it one day, I want to see 25 guys in line wanting to drive it because it must be a great car. You want people to want to drive the car. That would be better than any money you could get to have that feeling. |
You've got to be with a team that's hungry, that's on the edge, and confidence plays a big role as far as the driver goes. And I think the group is as hungry as everyone else out there. I feel we got things in the right place. |
