It was being at the right place at the right time. You can call it lucky if you want to. |
It was fortunate to have that restart. My car was probably the best it had been, and his car was probably not as good as it had been. |
It was good, not great. We'll just see if we can put 400 laps under us tomorrow night; that will be important. I think we have a good shot. |
It was not the performance we wanted, but we got part of the main goal solved [Saturday night] and look forward to the last 10 races, |
It was quite an experience, but I was glad to be able to help out. Once we put it out it kind of re-lit itself. The fire department got there really quick, but I think a lot of our initiative slowed it down before they got there and it didn't get any bigger than it was. It was just good to be part of something that was good. |
It wasn't the day we wanted here at Atlanta, |
It wasn't the day we wanted here at Atlanta. We never got a good handle on the car. It went from tight to loose. There was no grip there a couple of times. We kept working on it, but we never could get it right. |

It's a long time coming, no doubt, |
It's a natural area for people to go in and enjoy. |
It's a very high-pressure situation, but you expect people to have a lot of respect and race people like they always did. Whether that happens or not is just a situation of time will tell. |
It's big, but we have to deliver, ... We can sit third (in points) now and be 10th after next weekend. So we have to keep up the momentum and perform. |

It's clear that Jarrett's actions were intentional, ... Just look on my rear bumper — it's obvious that is UPS brown paint. Just as in the criminal world, Jarrett's intent makes him fully culpable for his actions. Lucky for him, I'm still battling for a spot in the Chase. Otherwise, he could expect a damaged car and/or a damaged face. |
It's going to be important to get a win, ... but it's going to be more important not to get any DNFs as we saw last year. We'll see if we can accomplish that, too. |
