The cars just don't feel good to me. |
The guys we are trying to beat have been running strong lately. It's imperative that we either maintain or move ahead of them at California. |
The whole night was like Russian roulette. You just wait for a tire to blow out and hope it wasn't yours. |
There are a lot of people that have one coming. This could be the night. |
There couldn't be a better fit for me. We will take it to the next level in 2006. I'm ready to go. |
There is not too much that can be said about this weekend's race at Richmond, |
There was a lot of pressure. I wasn't with one of the best Busch teams. When I got in Sterling's car, it had won two races that year. I knew the car was there, the team, the pit crew and everything. I was fortunate. |
There's a lot more worse things in life right now than not making the Chase. |
There's a reason that guy doesn't have a ride and I guess he showed us tonight. |
There's something about when Mike Helton talks, everybody listens. He has a very powerful voice. |

They got such a big run. It's easy to get to the lead; it's just hard to keep it. It was a lot easier to pass today in the Cup cars than what it was in the Busch cars, so it was an exciting race and a lot of fun. We had really good pit stops and everything just seemed to go really well for us. |
This is obviously going to be an interesting week for us. We're going through some changes, with a new crew chief and a new engineer, and there will be an adjustment period for both myself and the team. But we all know Bob Osborne, and he's a great guy with a lot of knowledge. I'm looking forward to working with him and getting our season on track. |
This is the hardest place, I think, to qualify because you can have a good car and it's so easy to lock the front brakes up or overdrive the corner. It's one of those places where you can be in the top five in practice and qualify 20th. It's so close. |
To run 25th in a Cup car is hard. To run in the top 10 in a Busch or Truck race is still hard, but it's just not the same level. |
