We can't play the game of bump drafting like we do at other tracks. That alone changes the race. Here, you don't want anyone around you. At Daytona, you want everyone with you. |
We did everything we needed to do and then just held our own for a little bit and gradually got tighter and tighter.a top ten is exactly what we needed. |
We didn't change a thing for this week. |
We didn't change a thing for this week. In our opinion, we didn't really have a chance to race at Bristol. We'd had a great practice, and felt like we had a great car -- and then we started the race with a flat tire. |
We didn't get off to a good start last year and still almost won it, so we know what can happen. |
We didn't get off to a good start last year and we almost won it, ... We'll just have to work hard and see what happens. |
We finished 16th, but it's not the end of the world. There are three to go and we'll just keep fighting. |
We finished 16th. It's not the end of the world. |
We had a perfect car through (pre-race) tech you look at other cars, there are other people doing other things |
We had a top ten car throughout the day, |
We have to find some speed and turn things around. Thankfully, we had a strong start to the season, so this last month we really didn't have to race our way in. But we've got to find it in a hurry. |
We just feel terrible, ... Hopefully, what we've done will help others see this and contribute, too. |
We just seem to thrive on adversity. |
We know that you've got to collect points, ... Kurt (Busch) last year was very consistent and collected the most points. That's everyone's baseline. You go into the final 10, if somebody is on a tear and wins a bunch, everybody is going to have to adjust their game. But going into any series, you want to cover your bases and be solid. . . We'll go to Loudon and get our feet wet. We can spend our first two or three races just feeling things out to see where we need to be. |
We lost last year by eight points, and we had some troubles at the start of the Chase, ... This year, hopefully, we'll make the right decisions and not have any weird things happen to us, and I won't make any mistakes on the racetrack and stay clean throughout. |
