dirt five local six stick track win
Don't stick around your local dirt track and win five or six championships in a row, ... because you won't go anywhere.
caution few five kinds laps needed wish work
It was a gamble. Everything has to work just out just right in those kinds of situations. I needed another few laps. I wish we had another caution with five laps to go.
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.
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.

I think this is the most weddings I've ever had.

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.

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.
ended flying good job kyle race running saw sideways track underneath
I saw (Green) get sideways and go flying up the race track and I thought I could do a good job of going underneath him. I ended up running into the back of Kyle Petty.
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.

I sat over there for 15 minutes and a couple guys came by and that's about it. There's a lot more attention now.

We got back up to fourth and that is pretty exciting, ... I had a really good time. My guys did a great job. The pit stops were perfect.
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.
benefits enjoying success
I think I'm the one that benefits and it's making me look really good. The success we've had is not all my doing, that's for sure. But I am enjoying it.
