He ran really, really good. I was driving my guts out, and he was right there with me. |
He was consistent, and I had a lot of DNFs (did not finishes), and he deserved to win. You don't have to win, but I do want to win. When I'm all done, I want my fans to have that image that I'm a winner. I'm at the top of my game right now. Every athlete wants to go out at the top of their game, and it feels so good right now. |
He's struggling right now because he's hot and cold. He'll do something real good like win Bristol, and then he'll find controversy like he did [at Texas]. It tends to move minds back and forth. |
Helton will basically tell you there's 50 guys who show up at every racetrack, and he can get the job done with 43 of them, no problem at all, |
I ask myself why would I retire and its because I don't like running 36 races. I hate running 36 races. I don't like being away from home that much. |
I believe that will stop (it), |
I can't believe I came the whole season with no problems and right now at the very end it all goes to [heck]. I hate it for the team and all the fans. |
I don't know if I will or not. We'll just have to wait and see. I don't have the answers to that yet. |
I don't know if I'd have done it, but I sure do understand the reaction. I hope Ryan learns from this mistake. He can't just go out there and rough these guys up, whether it's a mistake or not. Guys are tired of hearing it's a mistake. |
I don’t want to retire and end up spending all my savings on his cars, ... We are talking to sponsors so he can start spending someone else’s money. |
I feel good -- I'm in the Chase and ready to run for the next 10 races, |
I feel like broadcasting is my calling. I knew when I retired this is what I wanted to do. |
I feel like broadcasting is my calling. I knew when I retired this is what I wanted to do. I feel like I am well educated on the cars, NASCAR, the whole industry. |
I feel like I'm going on my first roller coaster ride. |
I feel like we're prepared for Kansas. We've just got to get back up in the points. Losing 70 points was a blow. |
