We did a few changes to the car, but we didn't go far enough, ... We know what we've got to do tomorrow night. We just have to go ahead and try to do it. |
We did everything in the world we could possibly do to help our program and it has showed. We have run very, very well on short tracks this year and it's helped our program. |
We don't know where the line is until somebody crosses it. |
We got all of it, I think. We're just having a question about the brakes. I think my brakes were dragging the whole time, but as far as the car, the car drove great and the engine felt good. |
We had a lot of contact tonight, but you know what? I'm not going to hang my head. These guys worked their butts off all year long but we didn't make the Chase. The world's not over with. The main thing is that we need to go and win a race. I think that would be good for all the guys. |
We had some great pit calls [Sunday]; the two-tire stop and then staying out at the end for track position, |
We have all sat down and thought of a couple of names and we will see what happens. We think a crew chief would love to work in this situation. |
We just need to go up there and run the best way we can. I feel like the pressure is not on us. I think the guys that are only one or 11 points behind or 10 points ahead of 10th place have more pressure than we have. |
We're going there (California) to win because we had so much fun there last year in Victory Lane. We think we're taking a car that can win, or at least get in the top five. |
We're just going too fast around here. The speeds are too much for this tire. |
We're looking forward to going back to Talladega this weekend, ... I'm as confident about our chances at a restrictor plate race as I have been in a very long time. Whenever we go to a restrictor plate race, we know that the 24, 15 and the 8 are going to be strong. All the Chevrolets gang up together because they know they are going to be tough to beat. |
We're not out of the gas hardly at all, which makes it hard to pass. You can't really gain speed on people if they're wide open and you are too. |
We're pretty optimistic. We think all we've got to do is go through the motions and get our cars comfortable and we're going to let the points take care of themselves. |
We're running good enough to make the Chase. If we get those situations back, we're well in the chase right now with a little bit of a cushion. |
We're running sixth at Indy when I have a tire problem, |
