good last phoenix ran spot
We ran really well at Phoenix last year. That should be a good spot for our team.
media bias
That's awesome. There's no bias in the media.
work-out digging proof
Whatever it is your doing out there, don't lose hope, you just keep digging and things can work out. I'm proof.
cars easy feels fusion good last
The Fusion really feels like our cars last year, and when they were good last year, they were easy to drive.
chalk crowded good hard kyle talked wall
Kyle just crowded me into the wall there. But no hard feelings. I'll just chalk it up to hard racing. Anyway, I talked with Kyle after the race. Everything's settled, we're on good terms, and I got his dad's autograph.
gives happy help people tries
He's one of those of those people who gives so much to the sport and tries so hard, ... that you can't help but be happy for someone like that.
nervous
Alright, buddy, I'm just real nervous about it.
believed damage glad saw
I saw everything happening, and I said, 'Wow, I can't believed we're going to go out like this, ... I'm just glad I didn't do any damage to any important stuff.
coolest daytona enjoy guys mean obviously races rank win
It's obviously one of the most prestigious races you could participate in. ... To win it, I don't even know how big it would be. I think it would rank right there with a win at the Daytona 500. I know our guys would really enjoy it and it would mean a lot to everyone on the AAA team. For me, as a driver, it would just be the coolest thing in the world.
caution couple five laps needed won
I thought even going to the back we could get them. We've won a couple like that in the Busch Series, but it's a gamble. You know, everything has to go just right. We probably needed another caution there with about five laps to go.
dare gonna races wished
I thought we were going to get it. When we look back at the end of the year, this is gonna be one of those races where we wished we had more like it. I dare not complain.
emulate front matter runs trying works
It doesn't matter how he runs the first part of the race, he always runs up front and I think that's because he works on his stuff. So that's someone I'm trying to emulate there.
definitely great guys job kevin model team
Kevin and those guys are doing a great job right now. They are fast, so it's definitely a model team right now.

I'm looking forward to racing at Pevely. I think there are several other Cup drivers going like Dave Blaney and Casey Mears so I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun putting on a great show for the fans and at the same time raising money for charity.
