We're digging, and Matt's having some bad luck. If we keep knocking the lead off 80 or 100 points at a time, we're going to be in good shape in a couple of weeks. Right now, we're just going out and doing everything we can every week. Our cars are better, our pit stops more consistent, and that is helping everything come together. Down the stretch here, we're definitely racing a little harder because we've got something to shoot for. We just need luck to stay on our side and we'll see how things play out. |
We're greedy and we don't like to finish second. |
We've got a third, first and a pole; I don't think you could ask for much more than that. Hopefully we can finish it off [tonight]. |
We've kind of agreed to sit down in April and just kind of evaluate where things are. |
You can only learn so much from testing, and after a while you need times like this to make sure you're going in the right direction. It's really when you get in the action with cars around you that you know it's time to go racing again. All we can do is hope we're ready. Honestly, I've never felt as prepared for a season as I do this year. |
You go in there trying to be aggressive and trying to be the one who makes something happen instead of being in the middle of somebody else's mess. You have to try and be at the forefront of what's going on. Usually the aggressor comes out at the good end. |
You have to have something to lean on when you have more than one team. I don't really agree with making the move four weeks before the Chase. That's not how I would have done it. |
You understand that things can't just happen overnight. They laid out a plan and explained it to us and just said, 'Here is what we want to do, here is where we need to get better,' and we have been chipping away at it ever since. |
