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.
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.
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.
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.
It was a great run. The guys did a great job in the pits. The guys did a fantastic job.good run for us I am really excited about it. I learned a lot today.a good warm-up for tomorrow I think.
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.
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,
Kyle got a great restart, ... Great job by those guys tonight. They deserve it.
This is what people pay their money to come see ... is big crashes at Talladega, ... Everybody loves it.
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.
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.
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).
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.
