It's very important to be in the top five. And if you can be in first, it's going to be a huge advantage for the race team in the pits, and it'll make the day a lot easier for you. |
Just got hit from behind. |
Just it's hard to forget those things. |
Just not a normal thing to happen with our engines. |
Just telling them to do their best job, just the normal stuff to give everybody a shot in the arm, get them excited, get them fired up for the race. Something from his side saying 'I believe in you guys. I've trained you well, do your job today,' and everybody did. |
Last year was tough at the end. This year we want to make sure that we're mentally able to make it through all 36 races and especially in the final 10, regardless if we're on top of the world or if we're going through a tough time. |
Last year, everybody felt that the champion was going to be a team that made it clean through the final 10, |
Last year's experience showed me that so much can go on, ... There's no need to get too excited yet. |
Like I said, we're only off a bit, ... But it's so hard to break through that last bit. The No. 24 team has always been really good at it with all the championships and race wins he's had. |
Man what a night. It just goes with my motto about the championship 'if it is meant to be it is meant to be'. |
Man, before we hit the start of the race we had a flat tire. It was a really tough day for us. |
Man, we needed that so bad, ... It was a great race, I am just thankful to be able to bring the Lowe's Monte Carlo back to victory lane. |
Mark my words right now, he'll be there at the end. |
Martinsville is a place where contact is going to come into play, and tempers will be high, ... It's a track where you can never get away from a lapped car or the cars you're racing, so the potential is there to have contact. |
