absence assured current evolve extremely fair future knowing means practice price public scrutiny system taxpayer whether work
In the long haul, the absence of any public scrutiny means the practice in the future could evolve into one that is an extremely uncompetitive, behind-the-scenes give away of work with the taxpayer not knowing whether a fair price is being paid. The current system may have flaws, but at least the public is assured of a competitive price.
efficient
I'm like a sponge, but also I just try to be efficient and learn.
apologize everybody petty terrible
I just have to apologize to Petty Enterprises and everybody on the 45 car. It is a terrible day.
related time wished
It's a little different. There was a time not too long ago when I just wished I had something to do related to racing. Now there's so much to do.
weddings
I think this is the most weddings I've ever had.
freeze good quit
I don't know if it's really fearlessness, ... but he's got a real good seat-of-the-pants feel. A lot of people, if they're going too fast, really freeze up or quit thinking.
awesome believe cup driven excited glad means number start zero
I'm really excited about getting my 50th start. I read that the other day, and I can't believe that I will have driven 50 Nextel Cup races; I didn't ever think I'd get to drive one. It's just awesome and it means the world to me. I am really glad to be a part of the sport at this level. Hopefully, there is another zero after that start number before I quit.
awesome bad charlotte close earlier fast finish five focusing good great home hopefully luck plans race run season shake showing surface team top track work
It will be great to be back in Charlotte this weekend. It's always good to race close to home. We had a disappointing race there earlier this season and we know that we can run well there. They have a new surface on the track and that will make the track very fast and I like fast. That will be awesome and work to our advantage. The team plans on focusing on a top five finish and hopefully shake off some of this bad luck we have been experiencing. We have a great team and we plan on showing that at Lowe's.
awesome forward great hope joining kenny looking michael monday talk weekend
I am really looking forward to being on the show. It will be awesome joining Kenny and Michael on Monday night. I hope we have a great weekend in Texas, so it will give me even more to talk about on Monday night.
bumper drove until watched
I watched the tape, and I know how he did it. He was relentless. He just drove up under everybody's bumper until they got out of his way. That's what he did. We'll have to do it that way.
deserve expect goals happen heading honestly looking million point reasons
It would be more than I deserve at this point in my career, ... It was one of our goals heading into the season, but honestly at this point I don't expect it. It would be great, don't get me wrong, but if it doesn't happen I'm not going to get upset. There are a million reasons we shouldn't make it, looking back.
awesome carry running seems
Running on Saturdays, if we run well, it seems to carry over and that's awesome for a driver,
beginning cup eighth expect far goal happy million points pole primary race reasons sitting somebody until week whoever year
If you would have told me at the beginning of the year we'd have two Cup wins, a pole and be sitting eighth in points so far with one race to go until the 'Chase' I'd have said, 'Man, you've got somebody else'. I just didn't expect our year to go this well. Our primary goal this week is to make the 'Chase'. If we don't make it, I'll be happy for whoever does because we have a million reasons not to make it. But we really want to make it and I think we can.
fall fortunate fun further next race
I think we are fortunate this is the next race considering our position. I don't think we can fall much further back, so I think it's going to be fun race in California.
