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.
checkered completed flying johnson miles time took
Johnson doesn't know it, but I completed more miles than he did by the time he took the checkered at Daytona. I was already flying west.
related time wished
It's a little different. There was a time not too long ago when I just wished I had something to do related to racing. Now there's so much to do.
chance happened matter performed race second time track trying winning
That would be unbelievable. I don't know how probability works. Every time you go to the race track you have the same chance of winning no matter how you performed in the past, so I'm trying not to think about what happened before -- just go out and do the same thing we did the first time and the second time and if we get the same result, man, that would be unbelievable.

I'm looking forward to racing at Pevely. I think there are several other Cup drivers going like Dave Blaney and Casey Mears so I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun putting on a great show for the fans and at the same time raising money for charity.

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.

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.

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.

I think you're allowed only about one bad race for these next 10,
