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.
They should stop everyone in pit row and see if they have two gloves.
I tell you what, it was a great run for our National Guard car, ... The thing ran flawless all day. I'll finish second to Mark Martin any day of the week. He drove his butt off out there and made two tires work.
If I was a little freer I might have got him.
Congratulations to Kyle. Those guys have been wanting a win for a while.
A couple of young guys came in and did really well, so then everybody thought, /x27/OK, it's all these young guys now as the new thing,
The thing about it is you've got to have a little bit of respect for the other drivers you're racing with and Kurt hasn't shown respect.
Kyle got a great restart, ... Great job by those guys tonight. They deserve it.
At the end, I'd get behind Kurt, I'd get close to him. I tried everything. I pulled out the whole handbook and I couldn't really do a lot with him.
I like racing at Michigan, ... There's a lot of room to race and we seem to do well there.
Don't get me wrong, ... I was going to pass him if I could. But you have a lot of time to think around here and I was just picturing him buckled down in that race car giving it all he's got, just thinking about him winning. I'm probably as happy as he is that he won today.
I enjoy driving the cars and I like the Ford family. Ford was one of the bigger influences of why I stayed at Roush. I wanted to keep driving a Ford because I like the Fords.
There at the end, we were running down the 21 (Jeff Burton) and the 60 (Edwards). We passed the 39 (Newman) and were closing in on them pretty good. I felt like I would probably get to the 21 before the end of the race. I don't think I could get to the 60, but then the caution came out.
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.
