accomplish extra goal good percent pressure reason win
We've accomplished every goal we wanted to accomplish already, so I don't see any reason to put extra pressure on ourselves. If we just go out, have a good time, give it 100 percent effort, try to win these races, never look back, that's all we can do.
good last phoenix ran spot
We ran really well at Phoenix last year. That should be a good spot for our team.
we need to be a lot better than that here.
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.
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.

That's awesome. There's no bias in the media.

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.
nervous
Alright, buddy, I'm just real nervous about it.
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.

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.
