drive laps
If I only had 10 more laps to drive in my career, I'd want do them at Darlington.
hard lap ran
I don't think I ran one lap as hard as I could. That's just the way we had to race.
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.
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.
anybody daytona everybody goes good laps last matter says telling tries
Everybody did a good job. I think if it goes like that for the 500 it'll be OK. I'm telling you no matter what anybody says or tries to say or mandate, those last laps of the Daytona 500 are going to be exciting.
bunch cars helped laps learn race racing run saturday stock sunday track
It helped me a bunch of ways. The first thing was I got to race more. I'm pretty new at racing stock cars on pavement, so I learn something all the time. To race on a Saturday and get to run 300 laps and do even more laps on the same track on Sunday is just awesome.
both bunch cars gonna helped laps learn miles race racing running saturday series stock sunday track
Running both series helped me in a bunch of ways. The first thing is I just got to race more. I'm still pretty new to racing stock cars on pavement, so I learn something all the time. The other thing is that it's just fun. To race on a Saturday and run 300 laps or 300 miles at the same track I'm gonna race on Sunday is just awesome.
cars contention couple fast flat focus front great hampshire improving lap last learned race reason run team time
I've learned a lot about New Hampshire over the last couple of races, ... It's flat and fast and I think I'm improving with every lap that I run there.We accomplished making the 'Chase' but now it's time to focus on going after the championship. We have a great team and great race cars so if we can run consistently up front I don't think there's any reason why we couldn't be in contention for the big prize.
atlanta far motor races run terribly three time
Atlanta Motor Speedway couldn't come at a better time for our team. We've run three races so far and we've run terribly at two of them. We need Atlanta. We need to come here and run well.
fortunate next race
I think we are fortunate this is the next race considering our position.
biking couple days enjoy fun mountain plan sunrise
It's just a fun place to go, and I plan to enjoy a couple days of mountain biking from sunrise to sunset.
expected might nobody win
I don't feel any pressure, ... If anything, I might be having a little too much fun. Nobody expected us to be here; nobody expected us to win the championship.
crew race win
This is was my first race with a new crew chief. I think we're going to win a lot of races.
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.
