I know there is pressure, but I don't feel it, |
I locked the brakes up and got into the wall, but there was no way to miss the crash. It's typical Phoenix off Turn 4. When one car gets spun, everybody does. |
I plan on being conservative regardless, because we're locked in the field. |
I really felt my first lap was really good, but I felt I left a little bit on the table, ... They give you two laps in qualifying, and you never know if the first lap is going to be better or the second lap. There's no reason not to try. |
I still have the same kind of mixed feelings that I've always had, ... I've always said that from a competitor's standpoint, I don't think it's the ideal points system. It's definitely equal for everybody. Everybody has an equal opportunity up until the last 10 races. I really haven't changed my outlook on it at all. That's what we have to deal with, and that's fine with me. |
I think a lot of Jimmie Johnson and his talent and stuff, but I'm pretty sure at least three out of his last four (wins) ... have had (issues) with the cars being illegal. |
I think every driver wants to lead 400 laps, ... We'd love to lead the first one to get those bonus points and lead 399 more after that. |

I think he's got a great attitude. He's very much like me in that he's sarcastic. Some sarcastic people get it, and other people think it's cocky. |
I think it was tamer than last year, if that's any precedent to go off of. |
I think part of it humbled him, and I think part of it aggravated him. |
I think that Kurt is a good guy. I think Kurt is an excellent driver and he's proved that by winning a championship. I think the situation I've had with Rusty (Wallace) in the past, having a teammate that at least isn't working against me will be a definite benefit. |
I think that the Roush cars have kind of made us look bad, ... But, in turn, we haven't been running where they are on those mile-and-a-half tracks. |
I think the only thing that can happen at Martinsville is just the beating and banging at Martinsville and guys getting crazy and attitudes and egos getting carried away in the cars and pushing other cars around, ... Just typical short-track racing. |
I think the open-wheel racing definitely taught us to race clean. |
