We had a broken right-front shock from Lap 50 or something and it was all I could do to get [the car] in the corner, |
We had a really good test there a few weeks ago. It reminds me of Pocono a little bit. When we tested there Kurt (Busch) was there as well so I asked him a ton of questions and he helped me a lot. I think there are a lot of places to pick up speed which is neat. We ran the fastest lap time that day which was cool. I'm really optimistic about our chances there. |
We have a car we think is going to race pretty well. |
We have to go to Homestead with an aggressive mind-set. We can't go there and be conservative. We have to run very well to get this finished. |
We just didn't want to make too many changes and mess anything up too much, ... We'll be OK for the race. |
We learned a lot about how the track changes today, and some other things that should help us tomorrow. I just know, after winning today, I'm going to sleep well tonight. |
we need to be a lot better than that here. |
We need to do this for three more weeks and we'll be all right, |
We ran really well at Phoenix last year. That should be a good spot for our team. |
We should be a bunch better than we were last season, and if that's the case, then we're going to be really, really good. |
We started out strong at the beginning of this year then went on a string of bad runs starting with Infineon. That really hurt us in the points. But Bob (Osborne, crew chief) and the entire team held their heads up and kept fighting and together we got back into the 'Chase'. Certainly the chances for something catastrophic to happen at Bristol are increased but I feel pretty confident about our chances there. If we can come away with a solid finish there, I think we have a good chance at making the 'Chase'. |
We still have to deal with two really tough races, |
We went in this thing and we pitted with four and I thought we could make it back up there. |
We're here to create our own destiny. If we can get to the lead, it will be great. We'll just have fun. |
We're kind of in a unique position. Nobody expects us to be here, including ourselves. We don't have pressure. And all it takes is one or two slip-ups from the guys in front of us, and we'll be right there. Hopefully they're looking back and worrying about us. I don't know if they are, but we feel like we've got a shot. |
