No, I'm not frustrated, ... I'm very determined. I'm driving hard, and I'm determined. I'm not in much of a Mr. Nice Guy mood. I just want to get the wins and the finishes knocked for my team, my sponsors and my partners and get it right. It's getting ridiculous right now. |
Restrictor plates you've got to rely on all the other drivers around you to make it happen, and that's hard to do. ... But I think the mile and a half tracks are perfect for this Chase. |
So, for our last start at Dover that's pretty respectable. |
Some drivers today don't have a clue what's in their cars right now because it's too much work. You can't have somebody hold your hand your whole life. |
Sometimes bad things can bring on good things. This brought about a whole era of safety. It took something dramatic before they started thinking and looking out of the box. |
Television is definitely in my future for sure. That's going to heat up real fast here. By the middle of next week, I should have all the television stuff done. |
That just shows how important consistency is and it's our consistency that has gotten us this far, |
that stupid 'stay out, don't pit' fuel mileage [crap]. |
That was the day our sport changed. We lost our personality. |
That's not going to make me come back. That will make me go out on top of my game, more than I have ever dreamed. |
The car here is the car I drove last time, ... (Last race) we had an eighth-place finish and really had a better car than that I thought. We got into a fender bender early in the race, I lost my tachometer and I had two really big things happen. All that stuff is fixed right now so let's hope we have a good, smooth race. |
The car was very quick. I'm disappointed right now because the car was easily a top-five car. It's just really tough right now because I really wanted to win this race in my hometown. |
The crazy thing is I am probably driving right now better than I ever drove in my life, ... I guess I don't need to be retiring, but hey, I've made the decision to do that. Still the thing I want to do is go out on top of my game, and I think we're doing a good job out there for these fans. I really love these fans and I appreciate the job they're doing, pulling behind me. |
The fact is that we had a car that should have won and looked like we were certainly headed that way until we had a right front tire to go down, |
The guys at Callaway have been extremely generous. |
