good last phoenix ran spot
We ran really well at Phoenix last year. That should be a good spot for our team.
media bias
That's awesome. There's no bias in the media.
work-out digging proof
Whatever it is your doing out there, don't lose hope, you just keep digging and things can work out. I'm proof.
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.
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.
gives happy help people tries
He's one of those of those people who gives so much to the sport and tries so hard, ... that you can't help but be happy for someone like that.
nervous
Alright, buddy, I'm just real nervous about it.
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.
coolest daytona enjoy guys mean obviously races rank win
It's obviously one of the most prestigious races you could participate in. ... To win it, I don't even know how big it would be. I think it would rank right there with a win at the Daytona 500. I know our guys would really enjoy it and it would mean a lot to everyone on the AAA team. For me, as a driver, it would just be the coolest thing in the world.
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.
dare gonna races wished
I thought we were going to get it. When we look back at the end of the year, this is gonna be one of those races where we wished we had more like it. I dare not complain.
cars easy feels fusion good last
The Fusion really feels like our cars last year, and when they were good last year, they were easy to drive.
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.
