I'm not feeling as optimistic, obviously, but Tony and Jimmie got in a little tangle earlier this season at Phoenix and Tony got wrecked, ... The other thing is, is they have had really flawless runs, and Phoenix is a little bit more of a hazard than Homestead, so to speak. But anything can happen. Jimmie has not run that well at Phoenix; if he ends up 18th, I win the race, Tony gets crashed or something happens to Tony Stewart 's car, that puts us right in the position with having to beat them by only about five spots (at) Homestead to win the title. You know, that is what it's going to take. So I'm saying we're not out of it, but, you know, our hopes are not like they were.
It's something I'm going to think about for a long, long time. I lost the championship by 35 points and we lost over 50 (points) with the loose wheel.
Everybody is going to have the same thing. To me, that's going to be disastrous. I've heard all secondhand information. I haven't sat down and said, 'What exactly are we going to be able to do?' but I heard that we're not going to be able to do this, we're not going to be able to do that.
Our guys are working like we're behind the competition right now. That's how hard they're working to try and make our cars better and better and better.
It doesn't matter much where you start. Obviously, you don't want to start clear at the back of the pack, but once you're back six or eight spots, it's almost all the same.
I'd start getting close to him, to within about two car-lengths, and it would just start chattering the tires. If I could have got in front of Kurt I feel like I could have driven off.
They are so much fun to drive and I think it's extra experience behind the wheel. It kind of gives you a warm-up for the weekend. For me, it's no pressure - it's kind of a relief to get in the Busch car and run a race. It gets you relaxed for the next day.
