It's always a probability that you're going to have a big wreck, and it's always somebody else's doing. Somebody gets really aggressive, three- and four-wide, they get bumping through the tri-oval and somebody loses it. Let's just hope that doesn't happen. And if it does happen, let's hope I get through it and I'm in the front already when it's happening behind me. |
It's been a great ride, ... If I roughed anybody up along the way, I'm sorry. I didn't really mean it unless it paid more. |
It's Bristol. I love the place. I always have and I always will. I've always said it felt like my home track. |
It's definitely, when we talk about Springfield, I feel that it's definitely an important area for me. The track here played a huge role in my development as a driver. I'd race there on Friday nights, then I'd go on to Fort Smith, Ark., and back to St. Louis on a Sunday. |
It's just one of those racing accidents. |
It's my best chance to get caught up, ... I feel real good about my chances here. I like it. We brought a good car and it's got a good feel to it. |
It's our consistency that has gotten us this far, and there's really no need to be looking for some other game plan, ... This is my final season as a driver and I want to go out being remembered as a winner. |
It's probably the biggest hole I've ever been in in my life going into there [Bristol], |
It's unfortunate I'm retiring right now, because I really feel like I'm hitting my stride, and we could probably really rock and roll next year. But I want to go out on top of my game, and I'm on top of my game right now. |
It’s a good series. It’s not working for what I want Stephen to do right now, ... Bottom line, it’s a great short-track series, but NASCAR only runs a couple of short tracks. |
Kenny went in to use the rest room, and they had the toilet paper roll with the springs on the side, and he kept pulling the paper, and it kept breaking off. He said he pulled and pulled and pulled, and it broke and broke and broke, and the whole time this toilet paper is breaking off I'm in the truck and we're gone. We thought he was there. |
Larry reminds me of my old buddy, Buddy Parrott, reminds me of what (Parrott) did for me and how many victories he helped me get, ... We're having fun again. |
Let's not forget we've already had a pretty incredible season, and that shouldn't go unnoticed. We still have plenty of time to win a race or races, but our team deserves a lot of credit for the consistency we've had. |
Making the Chase was really cool. Making it to New York was the proper way to end it. |
Man, I hear you loud and clear! |
