We know you're a superstar here in your own mind. |
We learned to eliminate variables that we can't control, ... We just focus on the (variables) we do have control over. |
We left a little in (turn) three and four. |
We lost an alternator belt early and that made us have to turn all the electrical switches off -- all the brake fans and the rear end fans and the fans that blow cool air on the tires to keep the tires cool, ... It hurt us because it lets it build air pressure a little quicker ... We're just really happy to salvage a fourth place out of this. |
We need to be a little better than we are. But I didn't knock the fence down. |
We never had to show how fast that car had to go today, |
We rarely have engine problems at Joe Gibbs Racing. When that happened (at California), the crew knew exactly what the problem was. We had tried two qualifying runs, but were a half-second off. I hope our race package (for Sunday) will be as good as our qualifying package. |
We really have two good cars here this weekend. You can be the best driver out there, but if you don't have a car that drives good it's not going to work. |
We really needed to have everything go right for us to be a contender last year, ... This year, we're in pretty good shape. So if we don't have a perfect week right off the bat, we feel like we've got some time to catch up. |
We talk about a five-year tribute to Dale Earnhardt. Well, five years from now, we're probably going to have to do another tribute to another driver, because we're probably going to kill somebody else. |
We tried. There wasn't a lack of effort there. |
We were both kind of laughing about it and hugging on each other about it, ... It doesn't matter what team he goes to, we still view each other as teammates -- even after the end of the year. |
We were on a different tire construction and compound for the majority of the races and Bobby excelled at it, but I didn't take to it very well, |
We were trading cooking secrets, ... What did you do to our car? What's your problem? |
We would have loved to have won the race after leading all those laps. |
