believe best brad crew cross great house last length opinions talked
I talked to Brad at pretty great length last night. Brad and I have never had a cross word. I was over at his house with the whole crew the other night. I believe it was just differing opinions over the best way to do things at the shop.
appreciate family helped love
I think it is that I appreciate you more now because you've helped me out, you've helped my family out. I think that's the basic. They're really in love with each other.
absolutely worried
Win? Absolutely they can win. That's why I'm so worried about (this race).
That was a real race, a lot of fun,

That was the right call, ... My hat's off to Mark; it was only the tires that beat him.
chance happened matter performed race second time track trying winning
That would be unbelievable. I don't know how probability works. Every time you go to the race track you have the same chance of winning no matter how you performed in the past, so I'm trying not to think about what happened before -- just go out and do the same thing we did the first time and the second time and if we get the same result, man, that would be unbelievable.

along car drivers flying fun machines neat night pinch race together
I think race car drivers and airplanes go together pretty well. They're just neat machines and I've always thought about being a pilot. So I'm having fun with that. I have to pinch myself when I'm flying along at night in my own airplane, going to a race somewhere.

There are a million reasons to want to get off to a good start. Team morale is a big deal. But there's the mathematical reason you need to have a good start. ... Kurt did it last year and it got him going.
