I'd like to leave here with a 30 point lead in the standings, ... This is a big race for us. With Talladega coming up next, you never know what can happen there. So we need a strong run, and I think we'll have one.
Have you ever seen that show, 'My Name is Earl?' ---- karma. It's really not playing fair.
He (Roush) has a huge advantage. He's got a 50 percent chance, I think. All of the teams are running good. But the (No.) 20 car (Stewart) is better than all of us. We'll see.
He just ran into the back of me and turned me into the fence. It's a little bit of a give-and-take game out there. If you get a run on somebody down the straightaway, you can't just run into the back of them because you are faster than them.
I can't say what happened because we didn't have a failure all year.
We got ourselves into a little hole in Daytona. But I have no doubt this team will turn it around this weekend.
We got ourselves into a little bit of a hole in Daytona but I have no doubt that this team will turn it around this weekend. We're taking a car that's already been to victory lane and we think it's going to perform even better this season. Here it's a whole different skill level and handling package and stuff. It takes probably a different skill set or different category of skills at Daytona -- where you position your car or how the air is and how fast your car is, so it's just a lot different.
We're going out for steak dinners and we're finishing in the top five and we're third in points and everything's great.
We wanted to be up in the top 10...we maybe came up a tenth (of a second) short of what we could have been, but I'm still happy.
We'll just try to get as many points as we can and hope that Ryan makes a few more wrecks and we can gain some positions,
Below me, it's looking grim, ... For four guys in front of you to have a problem is pretty unlikely. For one or two guys, it can happen. Three, yeah, but to have four (or more) guys in front of you have a problem . . . that's a long shot.
There have been a few exceptions and they got into really good rides, but if you're gonna bring a guy in that's not gonna be in a premier ride with a premier team, he's gonna fail. . . . You can't put a new driver and a new team together. It's just not gonna work.
But the last two weeks we've gotten it done, so we're back on track.
Everybody this year is like, 'Man, what's changed between last year and this year?' ... Nothing.
