I'm really hoping they're in it because I know the whole crowd will be pulling for them. |
In all honesty, it's a matter of me not messing up. Today had nothing to do with me. The only impact I had on the day was to be a warm-blooded person who could turn the thing on and mash the gas. |
It does open Pandora's Box a little bit. I've never seen anything like this, and I'm not sure I like what I see when I look at it. |
It is early, but it's better than being 20th. Right now, we're not having to dig ourselves out of a hole. ...But if we keep running the way we're running we'll get our wins and we'll do what we need to do in points. |
It?s big. Hopefully, it?s another sign that this team is getting ready to turn things around. |
It's frustrating as hell. I don't think I could drive any smarter than that and I still get wrecked. I guess I'm better off being stupid. |
It's in the drivers' hands. Drivers need to decide that we can do it the right way and it's no problem, or we can do it the wrong way and open up Pandora's box. |
It's like impossible to pass here. It's because of the shape of the race track, but the competition is so fierce, so many good teams and good drivers. You just don't turn left and pass people. |
It's such a different environment, I can't even tell you. Ten years ago, knocking on somebody's door saying 'Do you have a bottle of wine?', they would have laughed at me. It certainly has gone more toward wine-drinking than just beer-drinking for sure. |
It's very much a mental race but very physical at the same time. |
Mark Martin taught me that you're never guaranteed to be in Victory Lane, and to appreciate it every time and I remembered that. I'm proud of myself for continuing to fight and give 100 percent throughout all of it. I never once didn't come to the race track and try, and I believe that'll pay off for me. |
Matt and I are really good friends. And, he always races me clean and I always race him clean. I could have knocked him out of the way, but that's just not how I race him and he wouldn't have done that to me either. |

Maybe I'll be proven wrong, but when I look at it, I see an extremely strong front bumper. I don't think it's going to keep anybody from running into the back of the guy in front of him at all. |
New asphalt is no good. That's bad for racing. The best thing we can have is a really old track with old asphalt. That's when you have your best racing. And Texas is absolutely the best it has ever been right now. |
