That's not the way I wanted to finish my season. I was on my radio all day about him. He was all over the track even when he was running by himself. No wonder he jumps around from team to team. Needless to say, I'm pretty frustrated.
Any kind of track that people come back to time and time again means it's pretty good. I have to imagine it's going to be a lot of fun racing on the road course and the oval at the same time. Just the prestige of this race is enough. I'm looking forward to it.
I mean, you've kind of got the track down, especially with ovals. The only thing that improves is that when race conditions come, you know what to expect slightly more from the track and from your car.
I'm probably not 100 pounds anymore, but around there. I definitely got obsessed with my weight. When I met my husband and realized that he could put on 50 pounds and I'd still love him, I realized that's how he sees me or at least how he should!
I hope it goes better. The only way to keep the interest level there is if it gets better and better. I can only do what I can do. I never get frustrated with expectations from everyone else. I just know I go out there and give everything I have, and if that's not good enough, then it's not good enough.
I just want to see everybody before I left for the year, say bye.
I'm really happy for Buddy. I know this has been a tough season for him. He really deserves this.
I just didn't want to get left out. I still don't. I'm not a gear head at all.
I put more pressure on myself than anyone else ever could, but I probably want this one a little bit more just because it is closer to home. But, because it's getting towards the end of the season and I'm hoping to have a few good races to close out the season, I really want to do well this weekend. I feel like I'm learning more, that I am better prepared for the events as we go along. I really am looking at these next few events as laying the ground work for next season.
I never let it get in the way of racing. I was definitely always to my car on time.
I don't know. I never heard of her.
I asked myself what is the next step and, logically, I know it is winning races.
I believe it reflects what's happening in all levels of our society. As these amazing success stories are detailed in the media, it will have an impact by helping create even greater opportunities for the next generation.
I definitely felt a lot more comfortable today than I did when I was here last March. I think as a team we are pretty happy with the first day of testing.
