I went to adjust my brake bias and I'm pretty sure I knocked the ignition switch off. They are right next to each other. I couldn't figure out what was wrong, and then I looked down to turn it off and it was already off. |
I'm OK. I'm not more scared that I'm going to die. It's just that underlying thing that everybody knows. Everybody knows that we're sort of tempting it with what we do. |
I'm really happy for Buddy. I know this has been a tough season for him. He really deserves this. |
It's all about creating momentum and then keeping that going by being focused. You do what you can and let the commercials keep running so people don't forget about you during the down times. |
It's disappointing. We were running good fuel strategy. It didn't happen for us today. I've had kind of a bad stretch of DNFs here in midseason, some my fault and some not. It's a whole learning process. I think I'm going to work this winter on doing whatever I need to do. It's frustrating to come to these weekends, and feel I'm behind the 8-ball because I don't have the experience with these big cars. Maybe I'll pass up a couple of media days to do it and then the 'media' (stories to tell) will be better. |
It's just my story... and the lessons that I learned along the way and that it wasn't all a peachy keen, wonderful life. It was hard, and probably, when I look back on it, it's harder looking back than in the moment. |
It's just silly because it's so early in the race. Obviously, he was fast. Ryan could have been a lot more patient and had a better opportunity to go out and do the job, be successful and win the race. But his, I don't know what you call it, I don't know if it was overanxious, if it was desperate, if it was a rookie-style mistake that caused it, but he didn't make a very good decision. |
It's something different that people haven't seen. It's a story that people are interested in, and the league will do what they think is best for the series. |
Lazier was a problem all day. He's been a problem for years. |
More than anything, I'm more relieved after this run. |
My husband said it best. He told me, ?Just because you're a race car driver doesn't mean you're supposed to die.' I think that's the truth of it. |
Respect is one of those things that you walk a fine line. If you're a pushover, they're just going to think you're a wimp. And if you race them too hard, then you're just an a-hole on the track. You have to race them competitively. |
Say, you're not so bad. For a girl. |
So you're telling me that Jaques is saying he got beat up by a girl? |
That was a horrible accident, an engine there, a wheel there, a cockpit there. |
