He's not one of those guys who will give up. |
He's the one guy who's probably going to hurt somebody out here. He's all over the place. He's what we like to call a bird with no feathers. He just doesn't know where he's going. He had a fast car. He just needs to learn how to drive the thing. He's got talent. That's why he got here in the first place. |
Hey, you've got to remember that I just drive. I get in the car and I drive. It's been literally that simple. |
I always end up going to the back (early in race) and keeping my fender straight. We always end up near the front at the end of the day. That's an awesome day to be able to finish in the top two here six out of the last 11 races. |
I am really disappointed. We had an awesome car all day. I felt like I ran the most patient race I have ever run at Bristol. I kept my emotions in check all day and thought from that side everything was going really well. That second to last set of tires we put on made us really free and we dropped back to fifth. Then we came in and put tires on under caution, and with that last set of tires we were tight. I couldn't turn it through the center (of the corner) at all. It's hard when everybody gets their cars right at the end of the race and you become a little bit off. It was hard to hold those guys back. So we just tried to race smart there and bring our car home in one piece. |
I am really happy. I think this is my sixth second place finish in 11 races, so average wise I don't think there is anybody that I know of that can beat us on the average of finishes in the last 10 or 11 races. So we are pretty proud of what this team has been able to accomplish here. It's been an awesome day. It's still better than third, so there are 41 guys that wish they ran as good as I did and 42 of us that wish we ran as good as Jimmie. |
I can't speak for all the other guys out there. But I just did what I thought was right. |
I did terrible in history in school. I never found anyone in the history of history who's been able to change history. The stuff that happened last week happened last week. What happened last week is not important to me. It's seven days old. It's a total waste of time. |
I don't ever remember being part of something like that. |
I don't feel like we're really in a catch-up mode, ... We had our bad week and even with that, we're only 23 points behind. We could take the points lead back this weekend very easily. |
I don't know that you can point the finger at anybody. Everybody tried to make it better. |
I don't know what we need to do to keep this thing going, but we've got to. |
I don't remember any of the drivers asking for changes, ... You've got to give Humpy credit for trying to make the track better. He actually made it worse instead. |

I don't think Chad thought deep enough into it to realize that you don't want to do that with us because you're picking on the wrong guy there because we pick back. I think he'll be a little less vocal these next few weeks. |
