consistent forward happy longer looking race ran runs spend time tires trim truck turning
We are pretty good. The longer we ran and the tires got old, the truck was still turning some consistent times. I think we are going to race very well. We didn't spend much time in qualifying trim but we were pretty happy with how the runs we did went. I am looking forward to qualifying and then tomorrow's race.
race track better-person
You learn how to be a better person not just on the [race] track, but all around.
praying ifs
If you're going to hope for a change, you'd better start to pray for a change. If you're just hoping, you ain't going anywhere.
regret winning race
I will always cherish the times at JGR. The only thing that I regret is that we didn't win more races and/or championships.
decent lap practice ran screwed
We ran a lap in practice that I screwed up on but will still ran a decent lap,
cars handful lane meaningful nearly unless victory
It is exciting. It is real meaningful if you are in Victory Lane with it. That is what we want to do. There are only a handful of cars that have that kind of meaning to it. Richard's car is one of them. But it isn't going to mean nearly as much unless you do something with it.
batteries good guys happy job race second setup worked
The guys on the Interstate Batteries Chevrolet did a good job today. We just worked on race setup in the first practice, and then we worked n qualifying setup in the second practice, so I am pretty happy with our efforts.
sports passion thinking
The competition is a big part of it [racing] - the passion you have for the sport and the knowledge you have. You're not just going to wake up one day and say, " think I'll do something different." This is what I've done my whole life. My competitive nature and my passion for the sport, those are the things that keep you wanting to do better.
