car huge percent running teams
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.
cars clear good lap tough winning
It was clear we had a winning car. Some of the lapped cars were being tough to pass. I put them down a lap early. Our car was so good, and our car was still really good (when he crashed).
beginning cars season similar winning
The cars that we were winning with in the beginning of the season really are similar to what we have now,
bottom car faster hard protecting pushed
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.
beat cars felt running team tonight
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.
car hard race runs smart tough
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 doubt whether we'll have five cars in the Chase this year.
aspects car figuring
The Fusion, I think, is going to be a lot better car for us. (But) we're still just in the preliminary aspects of figuring it out and we had pretty much optimized the Taurus.
car flat great guys job kept needed thinking wall
It wasn't the car I was thinking I was going to have. But the guys did a great job in the pits, and I kept it off the wall and didn't get any flat tires. We just did everything we needed to do, really. ... We wanted a top-five (finish), so we can't really complain.
ability atlanta car drive finishing merely mine position race similar track versus won
His car was similar to mine when he won Atlanta versus me finishing third, and it was just who was in front. It was merely track position at the end of the race, so he's got the ability to drive the race cars.
car difference fusion noticeable
There's a noticeable difference between the Fusion and the Taurus. The Fusion, I think, is going to be a lot better car for us.
bit car clear drivers elect front gas kurt lift pedal racing respect run shown winning
It was clear that we had a winning car. When all you have to do is lift on the gas pedal and elect not to run into the car in front of you on the straightaway, that's pretty unforgivable. You've got to have a little bit of respect for the other drivers you're racing with, and Kurt hasn't shown respect.
blows car fastest happen hits might tire
The 9 car is the fastest car here. If something doesn't happen to his car or he blows the right-front tire and hits the fence, then he might be the car to beat.
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.
