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).
We're going out for steak dinners and we're finishing in the top five and we're third in points and everything's great.
We wanted to be up in the top 10...we maybe came up a tenth (of a second) short of what we could have been, but I'm still happy.
We just missed that win by a little bit, ... What we needed to do was get a good top 10 and that's what we did. I think we had the right strategy. I was gambling on a caution flag. If the caution would have come out, we would have had four skins and been able to put it to them.
The whole team is really excited about going to Dover this weekend, ... We feel strong about another top-five finish and possibly a win. You never know what could happen with tires and pit stops, but we definitely feel confident about a top five.
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.
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.
It did its job. They sure stop your head from moving too far forward.
