Sure it's disappointing not to be running the full schedule, especially after the momentum we built at the end of last year. But you can't be ruled by emotion, or you'll find yourself out of this sport in a hurry. |
That was our main goal. You've got to finish first, and we need to get in the habit of that before we can start racing well and getting up in the points. It's not the prettiest 21st, but we'll take it and build on it to Texas. |
To me, it's like a ramp up. This is the high point. Get past Texas and as a team and as a driver, we'll be able to develop on racing and developing a team. ... Just coming out of the gate, get through Texas in good shape and the rest, I think, would be a breeze. |
Troy and Roger aren't getting into this just to be there. They are successful people who are doing this to be competitive and win. |
We ran some good laps on it. We were not able to get back to it. We haven't solved the puzzle. |
We're not throwing in the towel. I wish we were running a little better. |
We've got our eye on that 21 car in the owners points. It will be hard to beat those guys because Kevin has had some strong runs and Childress has dominated the series over the last several years, |
With what they're going through and what they have at their disposal, it's going to get us pointed in the right direction sooner than later. |
Without a doubt, this is the best opportunity of my career. I kept pinching myself to make sure it was real. |
Without a doubt, this is the best opportunity of my career. I kept pinching myself to make sure it was real. It's what every driver dreams off. I'm a big Terry fan. When I'm not doing something right, hopefully he can teach me to do it the proper way. |
You kind of get a read on your car. We'll keep working on it. |
