I'm really sort of surprised at this run because we spent 98 percent of our time yesterday working on race setup and I got really comfortable with what I had there, ... Within the rules structure they allow you to do a few things for qualifying and the guys took advantage of that. |
If I were to decide never to drive again, I have had a great career, |
It's almost been sort of an uneventful day. We didn't have to change a whole lot of stuff. The car was ready off the truck. |
It's usually been a good track for us, and we were lucky we got a good qualifying spot (starting fifth) and just tried to keep our nose clean all night. It worked out pretty good. |
Let's talk about Martinsville; I know what is happening this weekend. I don't mean any disrespect. It's just not time to announce anything yet, |

Money isn't a concern, |
NASCAR has created this list of 10 drivers and they have succeeded in creating excitement, but I'm from the old school I'm here to race, ... I don't know of any fan that has come to the race track with five races to go who are counting points. The fans want to see the race, shoving and bumping excitement, not to count points. |
Nowadays, as they've been working on the cars and the quality control is getting a lot better, there's not a really a big difference. The cars are built specifically for different types of race tracks, whether it's a high-travel track or low-travel track, and that's what they go by. They go by data. It's past me, way beyond me now. But as far as me saying I've got a favorite car, they're getting stuff more consistent. I don't really see that anymore. They all seem to run about the same - unless they're purposely trying to make one differently, which they can do very easily. |
Thanks everybody for allowing me to compete with y'all. I'll come out here and check on y'all. I might even sit up in the stands and drink a beer and watch everybody. |
The bottom line is five guys can go faster than 40. |
The car drove extremely well and the track has got a lot of grip, ... It's been a long time since I've come to Martinsville and had a car that could go like this one. |
The guys did a great job in the pits, ... We just sort of tried to stay out of trouble. We've wrecked out of this race like the last three times. It's usually been a good race track for us and we were lucky we got a good qualifying spot and just tried to keep our nose clean all night. |
THEY LOOK THE SAME, BUT THEY DON'T DRIVE THE SAME. |
