I can live with myself knowing I at least tried to win rather than stay in line. We're real happy to come out of here with a top 10. |
I considered it a pretty big accomplishment personally, because for me Bristol is probably the toughest track on the circuit. |
I cried a little bit in the race car on the way to the checkered flag. Well, maybe not cried, but at least my eyes watered up. |
I don't really understand everything the foundation does. I know it plants a lot of trees. ... The foundation is a good thing, if it?s run properly and has the right people running it. |
I don't think that means anything. I still think we've got the car to beat out there. |
I felt like we had a top-15 car all day but we were right outside of that all day, down on horsepower a little bit which was really evident this weekend. So we need to work really hard at the shop on that. |
I had a lot of fun. It was kind of nice to take sort of a break from the spotlight (and) recharge your batteries. It wasn't that difficult of a season for me. |
I haven't really been able to tell the difference between one and the other. |
I hope that it does great things. I think it will be a lot of fun doing it with the people that I have if we can succeed. |
I knew nobody would go with me on the outside, but it was the only chance we had to win. I'm not here to run fifth or eighth or whatever we finished. |
I look for hot chicks in tube tops. You know, you people-watch a lot. You talk to your crew to look busy. You look at people's cars. |
I love racing and I love XM, so I definitely couldn't pass up on an opportunity to combine the two. It's a perfect fit. |
I miss him a lot. And the sport misses him a lot. |
I never wore underwear - as far as fire-retardant underwear - before underneath my driver's uniform. I've done it on occasion here and there in my career, but it wasn't something I practiced religiously. That weekend, I took Steve Crisp with me and he brought along my suit. He had all that prepared. There happened to be some underwear in the bag. I didn't have a t-shirt to wear underneath my uniform like I usually do. I just usually only wore a t-shirt. And so I put that on my upper body, but I just wore my boxers. So my legs got burned and nothing else did - except I've got a little spot on my neck. It shows me I need to be wearing everything I can wear and utilize as much precaution as possible. |
I really think that'll happen. I've informally talked to Richard (Childress), just so he knew I wanted to do that. I'll drive the No. 3 car toward the end of my career if I've done what I wanted to do at DEI, and that's win championships and win races. And I'll stick around as long as it takes to do it. |
