I'm hungry, our whole team's hungry. I want to get off to a fast start and prove to the fans and everybody that this team's strong. |
I'm in the best position I've ever been in when it comes to what I have at my disposal with my crew, my resources, my team and the effort. Everything behind me right now is as good as it has ever been, and better in a lot of areas. |
I'm just going to keep driving and have a good time doing it. |
I'm not going to tell you, but I think everybody knows where we are headed and what we are going to do. I think it should get us back in Victory Lane a lot more often and at least up front leading laps. |
I'm pretty disappointed I didn't make the Chase, but you know, we gotta look forward to what we can do these next 10 races, to make next year a better year. (We'll) just try to figure out what we need to do to make sure the team's right ... the car's right. |
I'm really disappointed running like this. I'm surprised it's been this way most of the year, but now we have to go out and try to win races. We quit worrying about points a long time ago. |
I'm sorry, Jeff, but if I don't make it, I hope you don't, either. That way, I am not the only one talking [about being left out]. |
I'm surprised. I bet you all are surprised. That's the way it goes. |
I've always been a big fan of Car and Track. Bud Lindemann had the vision to bring auto racing to television over 30 years ago. I watched every episode as a kid and still watch them today. We're going to show everyone the grassroots of our sport and bring the past to the present in a fun and entertaining way. |
I've raced harder this year than I've ever raced before. You think you're doing all you can. I've always felt like I've given 100 percent, but you're put in certain situations and you find you're capable of doing more. Hopefully, I still haven't realized my full potential. I feel like I've got a lot to learn and as a driver I can get a lot better and each year I understand there's more to me than I even thought I had. |
If Tony Jr. and I are going to work together next year, that'd be a good idea to begin work on that relationship. |
If you're cheating, the less people know about it, the better. You're not going to tell your driver. At least I wouldn't. I wouldn't tell anybody. |
In a situation like that ... no matter how great a relationship he has with a driver, the less people that know about it, the better. |
It comes down to knowing what you are doing out there. There are guys there, not naming any names, but there are guys you don't wan to get bump-drafted by. And there are guys that you love to see in your rearview mirror. |
It drove great all day. We bounced off a lot of things, and it just continued to drive great. |
