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.
Just 10 points a race isn't going to do it, and what are the chances of me finishing second for the next six races? We can only do as good as we can do and can't really worry about the outcome of the 20.
We can't dwell on the past. We just have to bounce back at Phoenix. Our goal now is just try to make the top 10 (by the second Richmond race).
This track has got a ton of grip right now. It is really, really fast. My car was just really solid. It was a really good lap. I didn't want to try for a second one because you're always taking a chance qualifying here because you are always right on the edge.
Tony has a problem with running you into the fence the second he gets position. We were running side by side, and he started running me into the fence.
It was unfortunate. (The car) got from under us in the second lap. It would have been a good solid lap for the race, but now we're going to suffer really bad. It's going to be a fight that's all there is to it.
Everybody is going to have the same thing. To me, that's going to be disastrous. I've heard all secondhand information. I haven't sat down and said, 'What exactly are we going to be able to do?' but I heard that we're not going to be able to do this, we're not going to be able to do that.
I think (Tony Stewart) is clearly the one we're going to be chasing, ... That team has figured out something that has made them pretty good at these places.
Just had to dig, fight real hard to get back, to get past all those cars. Once I got there, my tires were used up,
Just didn't have anything left on them. I thought I was going to hit the fence, wasn't sure which way I was going to hit the fence, but was able to get it back together about mid-pack and work my way back to second.
Kyle got a great restart, ... Great job by those guys tonight. They deserve it.
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.
Well, it's really important. We wanted to win here tonight, but Kyle got a great restart there. Congratulations to Kyle Busch and that whole Hendrick team. Those guys have been coming on a win for a long time and it's exciting for your first win. It was just a great job by the guys in the pits. We put spring rubbers in and adjusted the heck out of that race car tonight - from tight to loose to just can't drive it. Our thoughts and prayers are with everybody in the gulf coast and all the National Guard folks down there helping everybody. I know there were a lot of soldiers called to duty to go down there and we're just thinking about all of them.
We've got our best race cars and I'm prepared, ... We're going to do the best we can.
