I tried to get a run on the high side of Brian coming to the white, I guess. That just killed me. He blocked me up high and then I tried to go low. I looked in the mirror and here came Jimmie. I got stuck on the inside and I knew I was done.

I want to apologize to the fans. That was absolutely uncalled for what happened today. To run that many laps under caution, all the disputes on pit road, I'm embarrassed by it and I want to apologize.
|
I want to force the other drivers to find a way past me.
|
I was hoping it was just a tire. We know we have a better car next week.
|
I was just telling Steve that I think we're going in the right direction here. I just reminded him not to let any of the outside stuff bother him.
|
I was just trying to hold on because I was completely sideways and my teammates behind me were trying not to get into me. They were racing one another. They got pretty excited. Unfortunately I didn't get as excited as I wanted to for the lead.

I wish they would have fixed the race track at the same time they fixed the curb. There are some things in the race track, some really big bumps and roughness, that would have been nice to have gotten through that area a little better.
|
I wish we were in a little bit better position. But you're definitely going to see all that we have to give this weekend, next weekend and the weekend after that.
|
I would definitely say right now we're as hungry and fired up as we've ever been. We've got youthfulness, (and) we've got excitement back in the team.
|
I would like to get a call from Goodyear to do a tire test because they haven't called us to test for a while. I feel like we have paid the price a little bit. We have called them and asked them why we aren't tire testing.
|
I would love to see Jimmie get in position where I could get behind him and help him all I can. I am going to work as hard as I can to get myself into that position. He certainly has helped me plenty of times, and I want those guys to win the championship and I'm going to do everything that I can to help them.
|
I'd like to think that we're one of the favorites. But whether we're the guy to beat or not, we'll find out in the closing laps.
|
I'd maybe like to see him run some more Busch races [to gain experience], because I want to see him have success. Making races is one thing. But having success here would be huge for him and for the sport.
|
I'll take part of the blame. I think Tony should take part of it as well.
|
I'm all for it. I think bump-drafting has just gotten out of control.
