The cars that we were winning with in the beginning of the season really are similar to what we have now,
I was going to pass him if I could, but I was real excited following him,
If they had the tire situation totally worked out, we wouldn't have to use the small fuel cells. I am concerned because I crashed hard there last year and I definitely don't want to do that again. The place is really fast and you don't want to have any problems. The most important thing is being safe.
I could've pushed him out of the way, but that's not the way I want to get wins. He was protecting the bottom. His car was really slow. We were way faster than he was, and it's just tough. This place is hard to pass. Protecting the bottom - that's what you've got to do here in Bristol.
You wouldn't see him doing that in the middle of the race. Eventually, the guy on the bottom is going to prevail. If we would have had three more laps, he wouldn't have been able to hang there.
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.
I feel awesome, ... I think that before tonight I felt like we were the team to beat and I still do. We've got so much momentum. Our cars are running fast. I really feel like we are the team to beat.
Just had to dig, fight real hard to get back, to get past all those cars. Once I got there, my tires were used up,
I really enjoy running the Busch car. I have a lot of fun with it, and the more seat time I can get, the better. I hate it when there is a race going on and I'm not out there in it.
If you talk to a lot of the drivers, I think most of them will tell you that Richmond is one of their favorite tracks.
Just 10 points a race isn't going to do it, and what are the chances of me finishing second for the next six races? We can only do as good as we can do and can't really worry about the outcome of the 20.
They tell me it's my imagination and that there was nothing wrong with (the tires), so I decided to run a couple of laps and I should have trusted my first instinct and pitted.
He's a tough customer. He runs really well. He's a smart race car driver. He thinks. He executes. They're going to be very hard to beat.
I don't really want to win races like that. That doesn't take a whole bunch of talent to knock a guy out of the way. Racing tight is one thing, but to get a run in the middle of the corner and get the guy's bumper all at once - it is what it is.
