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.
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.
chevy daytona disney noticed run win
Yeah, I noticed that the Disney thing over there at the Daytona 500 (at Daytona USA) is a Chevy. They win a lot here. Chevy has run really well.
bad beginning bob bristol certainly chances confident crew entire fighting finish good happen heads held hurt increased kept runs solid starting string strong team together year
We started out strong at the beginning of this year then went on a string of bad runs starting with Infineon. That really hurt us in the points. But Bob (Osborne, crew chief) and the entire team held their heads up and kept fighting and together we got back into the 'Chase'. Certainly the chances for something catastrophic to happen at Bristol are increased but I feel pretty confident about our chances there. If we can come away with a solid finish there, I think we have a good chance at making the 'Chase'.
bad bristol run track
Bristol isn't a track I have run well at in the past. I think a lot of it has been because of bad luck.
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.
both car exciting ford great helps news people ready running sit stand watch
Running both helps me a ton. I can't stand to sit around and watch other people race. Ford briefed us the other day and told us a lot of exciting news about the Fusion, so that should be a great car to run. I'm ready to go racing.
awesome carry running seems
Running on Saturdays, if we run well, it seems to carry over and that's awesome for a driver,
fifth forward four front looking next points running tracks win
Right now we're fifth in points and the next four tracks are tracks that I like, so I'm looking forward to running up front and doing everything I can to try and win this championship.
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.
apologize behind car ended guy people petty running stopping worried
I just have to apologize to Petty Enterprises. I should have been more worried about stopping my car than people from behind running into me. I ended up being the guy that got Kyle.
excited front greatest learning race run start
I'm not the greatest qualifier and I'm learning a lot. I'm really excited to get to start up front in a race that we really need to run well in.
bad ended frustrated guys running terrible worried
It's a terrible day. I was worried about guys running over me and I ended up running over somebody. I'm very frustrated and feel bad for those guys.
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.
