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.
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.
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.

Running on Saturdays, if we run well, it seems to carry over and that's awesome for a driver,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
fortunate next race
I think we are fortunate this is the next race considering our position.
