We've got three pedals in these cars and the middle one is the brake, ... As many times as he's been drafting here, he knows that you always stack up at the end of every straightaway. It's the way the draft works.

We're not out of the gas hardly at all, which makes it hard to pass. You can't really gain speed on people if they're wide open and you are too.

This track really isn't about the driver, ... This is all about the fab shop and the guys in the engine shop. I can't say enough about how hard my guys work. They gave me a great car.
ahead behind best chances four guys hard mindset points pressure race racing run taking tires whether whom worry
We can't really worry about whom we're racing and who we're not racing. We just need to go up there and run the best way we can, whether it's taking chances like two tires or four tires or whatever. I feel like the pressure is not on us. I think the guys that are only one or 11 points behind or 10 points ahead of 10th place have more pressure than we have. I think that we have to go up with the mindset that we've just got to race as hard as we can and not really worry about the points.

We can't really worry about the points. We can't really worry about who we're racing and who we're not racing. We just need to go up there and run the best way we can, whether it's taking chances like two tires or four tires or whatever.

Those guys showed that you don't give up until the very last lap and we're not either, ... Nobody knows what's gonna happen. That's why we race 400 laps.

We have all sat down and thought of a couple of names and we will see what happens. We think a crew chief would love to work in this situation.

Until we can implement something on the cars with the bumpers or something to weaken the noses up a little bit, this is what we have to live with through Daytona.

Until somebody gets called in for a pass-through penalty or what have you, nobody really knows where the line is. I'm sure we're going to push the line and push the envelope a lot come Sunday.

We're still frustrated not being in the top 10. I think we're a good enough team to be in the Chase, but we're not going to hang our heads and cry about it. There's a lot of good race teams out there.
