As long as he keeps making his car continually fast, continues to win races, he raises the bar that the rest of us have to go chase. |
He made the officials sweat checking our cars. He was always looking for an edge. We set him loose. |
He's dying to get into that car. He's like a kid on Christmas morning when the parents won't wake up. |
That didn't go over very well with my parents. It was not a good day for them. They were a little shocked. I told them I would go back to A&M if it didn't work out. |
The last five weeks, he's shown up 10 minutes before practice. I think he was here when the gate opened this morning. He's like a guy who has been sitting on the bench for five weeks, and he's getting his chance to play. |
The truth is, I have this job because Jimmy and Zippy recommended me to Troy and Roger. Growing up in Texas, Troy and Roger are icons to me. I met Roger in an autograph line when I was 9 years old. Now he's my boss. |
There's no reason we can't be in the top 20. |
We didn't qualify too well. I'm very hopeful that we're just looking at fine-tuning. I'm pretty optimistic about Sunday. |
We'd like to say we're going to win races, but we have to be realistic. This is the highest level of motor sports in America. You can't play catch-up in less than four months. |
