She said the whole experience was very dramatic, just amazing, ... She sent me pictures of houses with boats up inside them. |
Some drivers know what's going on with the car as far as what the crew chief's initiatives are. I think the point that should be driven home is if we have repeat offenders or the situation happens time and time again with a certain individual, there's something more that should be done other than a suspension. |
Some of the stuff that's happened to us this year is our own fault and then there's some that's been racing incidents. Sure, I think back and say I'd have done this or that different, but I am a race car driver and I am out there to do just that -- race. |
Something broke in the right front, ... I'm not sure what it was. It was a great effort for our Alltel Dodge guys. We picked up speed, and we're doing the right things. Something just happened, and I don't know what it was. That's part of it. We've struggled this year. This is a good opportunity to prove that we can do better. |
Staying out of the wrecks is a big thing. Qualifying up front keeps you out of trouble, |
Texas is another great opportunity for us to gain, ... We've got to fix the things that aren't right and be more competitive in race trim. |
That was a long time without a Cup win, |
That was really close with Schrader there. Kenny was definitely awake. I didn't know that he was coming. I couldn't see him. |
That was the most conscious I've been (of position) driving a car since this race last year. |
That's another top ten and that was good, ... We've had five top-10's in six Chase races now, but it's going to take some wins and top fives in these final four races. |
That's definitely cool. I read some of the stats about the history there. The cautions played to our benefit tonight. You had to be in the right place at the right time. |
That's definitely cool. I read some of the stats of what the history was with Sam Ard doing it, and it's pretty cool. |
That's definitely not the finish we wanted today, |
That's not good. They could make a judgment call and change the entire season for a championship-contending team and sponsor. |
That's pretty cool making the 'Chase' for the second consecutive season, ... It wasn't the performance we wanted, but we got part of the main goal solved today. I look forward to those last ten races. We'll keep working on this Dodge and see how we can do. |
