chase couple ground guys race run stand trying upset year
I think Dale is just upset that we're all trying to race to get into the Chase and he's not going to take it anymore, and I'm not either, ... We've had a couple of guys run over us this year and we're going to stand our ground and we're not going to take it anymore.
mentally race ready tomorrow tough trying weather whether
This is tough. Mentally and physically, you're trying to get ready for the race and get prepared, but you don't know whether it's going to happen. The weather for tomorrow doesn't look that good, either. It's tough on everybody.

I guess he's trying to keep his streak alive -- he caused a big wreck here last year and he caused a big one again this year, ... Maybe that's his way of racing here at Talladega ... try to get rid of everybody so he can win the race.
cars guys rain tough trying
It's tough on everybody, not only us but the crews and the guys who are going through trying to get the cars inspected in the rain and the fans. It's just a tough day.
breaking found guilty lose rules team
I think when a team is found guilty of breaking the rules, the team should also lose points.
crosses envelope gets knows line nobody push somebody sure until
I think it's up to the drivers. We don't know where the line is until somebody crosses it. Until somebody gets called in for a pass-through penalty, nobody really knows where the line is. I'm sure we're going to push the envelope come (today).
driving guys help idiots stop
I think this is going to help stop guys from driving like idiots out there.
contact good guys hang main win worked year
We had a lot of contact tonight, but you know what? I'm not going to hang my head. These guys worked their butts off all year long but we didn't make the Chase. The world's not over with. The main thing is that we need to go and win a race. I think that would be good for all the guys.
act again behind definitely happened happens head might react rug swept
We've kind of swept that under the rug a little bit, but it's still in the back of my head a little bit. If that happened again, especially here at Richmond, I think I might act a little differently. That's definitely behind us but I will react a little differently if that happens again this year.
behind great last man scenes weeks
Kevin's done a great job, ... He's been the man behind the scenes for the last two years. Everybody's been behind him the last two weeks and things are going really well.
care caught guard supposed
It caught me off guard because no one called me and told me I was supposed to go. If they'd called, I would have gone. You have to take care of those who take care of the sport.
debris next picking slowly
My spotter said there was debris everywhere, so I was just slowly picking my way through there, and the next thing I know everyone is wrecking.
