deal tough
We still have to deal with two really tough races,
create
We're here to create our own destiny. If we can get to the lead, it will be great. We'll just have fun.
foot
Was it really like a foot or something? ... I thought it was a little more than that, so that makes me more grateful.
chevy daytona disney noticed run win
Yeah, I noticed that the Disney thing over there at the Daytona 500 (at Daytona USA) is a Chevy. They win a lot here. Chevy has run really well.
breaks caution felt fresh good great jeff lucky race racing sitting telling win
We felt like if everything went well and we got some lucky breaks and a caution at the end that we would be sitting good at the end of the race on fresh tires. I am telling you what the big win for the day was that we had a lot of fun. Racing with Jeff Burton and Greg Biffle that was great fun.
changes help learned sleep track winning
We learned a lot about how the track changes today, and some other things that should help us tomorrow. I just know, after winning today, I'm going to sleep well tonight.
car cool foolish good great lap lay line pole
The pole is great and all that, ... but the car is so good it would have been foolish to come out here in cool temperatures ... and lay it on the line the first lap and have a wreck.
changing win
We're not changing a thing, ... If we're going to win this championship, we're going to do it by having fun. That way, even if we don't win it, at least we still had fun.
beat changing giving gonna guy knows stop tony win
We're not changing a thing, ... We're going out to win this championship, and we're gonna do it by having fun. We probably won't beat Tony Stewart; the guy knows how to win championships. But that's not going to stop us from giving 100 percent.
expects front guys hopefully including looking nobody takes unique worrying
We're kind of in a unique position. Nobody expects us to be here, including ourselves. We don't have pressure. And all it takes is one or two slip-ups from the guys in front of us, and we'll be right there. Hopefully they're looking back and worrying about us. I don't know if they are, but we feel like we've got a shot.
we need to be a lot better than that here.
