He's worried about people's lives, but he'll wreck you at 190. |
I am excited about going to Richmond this weekend. It has all come down to this race to settle the top ten that will be competing for the championship this year. We've had a good run over the last several months and have put ourselves in contention for this thing. We have to have no mistakes this weekend -- not by the driver and not on pit road. It's going to be exciting, I know that. |
I came out of the pits first and Kasey Kahne was up there on two tires and Kurt came up behind me, so I just passed Kasey first and then Kurt caught and passed me, |
I could not have passed him if I had eight tires. |
I did everything I could. If I tried any harder I was going to wreck or wreck him.we just got beat. |
I didn't do anything wrong. I thought I left him plenty of room. That's the same way he raced. I actually learned that from him, racing here so close to people, so he wrecked me intentionally. |
I didn't have any reason to be mad at him. I just apologized. I messed up. I'd be mad if was him, too. So I hope everything is OK. |
I didn't think we had a chance to [make the Chase], but we've run much better and the guys that have been around us in points have had some trouble and maybe haven't run as well the second half of the year and had some things happen to them, too. We're not in it yet; we still have another week to go. |
I didn't think we had a chance, |
I didn't think we had a chance, ... But we've run much better, and the guys around us in points have had trouble. I didn't really expect it. And we're not in it yet; we still have another week to go. |

I don't see it that much different. Our over-the-wall crew is exactly the same. Our car chief is the same guy we had the last five races last year. The talent level in our group is as good as it was before. |
I don't think I could be much happier. A few races we came up short that maybe we had a chance to win and didn't win, but these guys have done such a great job. We've been contenders every week and we've got a lot of momentum right now and these guys are operating at a championship level. |
I don't think I could have caught him on eight tires he was going so fast. |
I don't think I could've caught him with eight tires to tell you the truth, he was so fast at the end. There's now way we could've run any quicker than we were. |
