I wouldn't expect that stuff to take place this weekend, the speeds are too high. We can't bump each other and lean on each other like you would at a short track. |
I'm carrying a lot of momentum. Considering the circumstances, coming out of here in second (in the race) is a great run for the team. |
I'm going to bring something new. There are enough shows out there with all the nuts and bolts and stats and all the stuff that goes with our sport. I want to bring in a totally different aspect of what goes on once those cameras shut off and everybody goes on to their normal way of life. |
I'm happy for Chad, especially because he hasn't had a chance to enjoy Victory Lane. His cars have been winning races but he was, unfortunately, at home. |
I'm hopeful the underlying issue of us legitimately winning the race is there. We worked our butts off for it. ... We understand we made a mistake. We just want the respect that comes along with winning the Daytona 500. |
I'm not sure what was being said. But being positive and trying to pump your team up, sometimes things are said on the radio.... |
I'm proud of our team. Starting in the inside is a big advantage. We will get a great pit selection so we have that benefit to look forward to as well. |
I'm proud of this race team. These guys continue to work their butts off through adversity, making the best of a bad situation. We almost won another race today. We're doing everything we need to do. We won the Daytona 500 and maybe we'll win the championship. |
I'm shocked just like everybody else just how close the championship race is and I think that over the next five it's only going to be more interesting, more aggressive, more stress and pressure, ... It's going to be right down to the very end, I think. |
I'm very happy with everything (my team) got done on the race car, and it was a good, clean lap. ? It is nice to get back to the track and perform well after a bad weekend like we had a Bristol. |
I'm very pleased with it. The guys went back and worked on the car and found some things to pick up some speed. So I am very happy with that. |
I'm very proud of what the team has done today. We've been through a lot. |
I've been aggressive before and made some mistakes that caused wrecks. Today I just wanted to sit and ride, and take care of things. |
I've got to thank Kyle for being such a good teammate and racing me clean at the end. |
If anybody can make it clean, I don't know who it will be. I hope it's us. |
