mean points run
You've got to get the points where you can, ... Talladega and Martinsville are wildcards for us. Does that mean we won't run well at those tracks? No, we can. But we need to get as many points here as possible.
games video
It was literally like the video game!
running fun team
We share information really well together  all the teams do  and we give each other racing room, ... It's fun to race with Matt and these other guys. Man, it's just unbelievable that our cars run this good.
race car relax
The race car is harder to drive. If there was an in-car camera that could have watched me saw on that wheel for 500 laps, there wasn't one time I could relax.
taken winning thinking
It's neat for Kyle to win, ... I think you'd have sympathy for anybody if you put yourself in that situation and got taken out of the race car. But I have absolutely no information about what was going on.
real race years
Obviously, you've got to make the chase first, so first things first - get in the chase. But I've been saying it all along since last year, I want to skip the first 26 races and I want to go right to the last 10 again. That's where they pay the money. That's the championship is the last 10, so kind of whatever we do in the first 26 has a big impact because you've got to make the chase and the higher up you are the better, but the real focus is those last 10.
running winning years
Vegas is definitely a place where we can win. We had a good run here last year, and I feel even more confident about the car we're taking this time. We're taking the car that we raced in California two weeks ago, and it was obviously a good car.
car racing answers
Then you have to answer to your car owner, you have to answer to the sponsor, you have to answer to all these folks why you're not racing. But that's the only way it will ever stop.
strong suits qualified
I've qualified second I don't know how many times. Qualifying isn't my strong suit.
daughter father winning
Last year was the best Father's Day ever, 1,000th win for Ford and to have my daughter there for her first victory lane. I'm not sure how to top that, but hopefully something spectacular will happen. Michigan is one of my favorite tracks; it's a big fast place and has lots of room to race. There is always a lot of strategy going on. Fuel mileage and pit stops are very important.
biggest cars cup drivers gaining guys learn longer race respect stuff takes worked
I think the biggest thing is gaining the respect from all the guys who are already there. And the Cup cars are a lot different from what they've been driving. That's challenging. Longer races. When to race and not to race. All stuff you have to learn, and it takes a while to learn it. It worked out for us pretty well. A lot of the drivers can make that transition. But you just never know.
dive last life loose might rear run spring took
I was just loose all day, ... I thought I might have too much rear spring for it and it kind of took a dive for life and put some rubbers in the left-rear spring and put some wedge in it for that last run and it just killed my car.
advantage balanced bring car drive easier excited great guy numbers provide taken
If you give him the right car and the car is balanced properly, it's got the right aero numbers and all that, and then he's got to drive it, that makes it much easier to bring a guy in and be competitive right off. I'm excited that we're able to do that as a company, to be able to provide Carl with such a great opportunity. And he's taken advantage of it.
gets good head last might race run until wherever
It kind of gets in your head about how you're going to end up after this race, ... I don't think we're as good as we were here last time. ... We'll do our best, that's all we can do - and not get down about how we run here. If it is a 15th-place finish, we go on to Dover or wherever else. We might end up with a top-five car, but you never know until the whole race starts.
