alert drive driving guys head people starting
People are starting to feel the pressure. You've got to get into the chase. I think that's got people on alert of having to drive hard. Some guys are driving over the head. Some veterans, I think, are driving over their head a little bit.
drivers few gonna good next shortage
It's gonna be like this for the next few years, I think, ... It's gonna be good for drivers because there is a shortage of drivers.
absolutely drive earlier easy fast gas lap perfect turns
The lap was absolutely perfect. Down in Turns 3 and 4 is where I got all my speed. I just got right back to the gas earlier than I ever have. When you have a perfect car, it's easy to drive a fast lap.
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.
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.
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.
bit drivers kurt racing respect shown
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.
crashes everybody loves money pay people
This is what people pay their money to come see ... is big crashes at Talladega, ... Everybody loves it.
below four front guys looking problem
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.
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.
bold calling happy position race tires
Calling two tires there under green, that was a pretty bold move, ... I'm just happy to see out sport is so equal, to see the 12 and the 20 race for position, and me and the 17, after 300 laps, to race for position like that is pretty incredible.
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).
chase clearly cut funny guys minute upset work
They've got their work cut out for them if they're going to get under my skin. You can clearly see guys, the minute they get upset about something or get something in their head, they go crazy. There are two guys in the Chase like that. It's funny to see.
loose lost points
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.
