From the first lap, the car was right on the money, and off we went. We had great stops, and it was really what we needed after last week. |
He hit a home run, which was awesome. |
He is at home going crazy over this and I would imagine he will come back much more conservative. In some ways I am disappointed because he has always been one to drive technology in our sport. |
He is in control of the championship in my mind and I hate to admit that, ... If I go out and do all that I can and lead the race and lead the most laps, then it's just in his hands from there as to where he finishes and what happens. |
He probably would have won the race and it would be a different story. |
He started asking questions about stock car racing. Once he came to the Charlotte area and started meeting the owners and stuff, I couldn't encourage him enough to make the move. |
He was all over me and ran me real hard, which he's supposed to do, |
He was all over me at the end, and that's the way it should be, |
He was all over me at the end, and that's the way it should be. I've got to thank Kyle for being such a good teammate and racing me clean at the end. |

He was way, way out of it and won a whole bunch of races at the end and came real close, right down to the last lap at Homestead, and anything is still possible. |
He will be back after just a couple of weeks at home. |
He's worked his butt off, to finally be present for one of them means a lot to him. |
I believed this team could still win. No doubt Chad not being here is a huge handicap but everyone stepped up. I am so proud of this Lowe's team. |
I can't believe that we always end up somehow toward the front at the end of a race ... this one in the closing laps after a long night of adversity, ... We changed batteries, the alternator had some troubles, flat tire, all kinds of crazy things. |
