cars drafting knows middle stack three
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.
gonna guys knows lap last nobody race until
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.
bunch driver great magic notes number ryan
Yeah, that's what the 12 bunch has done so good. They have such great notes that if they unload around that number that Ryan needs, they'll be close. Every driver has a different number, and they know Ryan's magic number.

We did a few changes to the car, but we didn't go far enough, ... We know what we've got to do tomorrow night. We just have to go ahead and try to do it.
ahead behind best guys points pressure run
We just need to go up there and run the best way we can. 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.
engine gave great guys hard shop track
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.

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.
envelope gets knows line nobody penalty push somebody sure until
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.
cars implement noses until
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.

We're just going too fast around here. The speeds are too much for this tire.
crosses line somebody until
We don't know where the line is until somebody crosses it.

We did everything in the world we could possibly do to help our program and it has showed. We have run very, very well on short tracks this year and it's helped our program.
chances confident forward gang looking plate race together tough whenever
We're looking forward to going back to Talladega this weekend, ... I'm as confident about our chances at a restrictor plate race as I have been in a very long time. Whenever we go to a restrictor plate race, we know that the 24, 15 and the 8 are going to be strong. All the Chevrolets gang up together because they know they are going to be tough to beat.
bit chase good running situations
We're running good enough to make the Chase. If we get those situations back, we're well in the chase right now with a little bit of a cushion.
