avoided break crash fact flat happen matt stayed top
The fact that Matt didn't have a flat tire, and he didn't break anything, and Carl narrowly avoided a crash that would have been a disaster, was great. The litany of things that can happen and didn't, that can get on top of you, they stayed away from us tonight.
cars economy generate good hard money programs research step
There will be Busch programs that can step up to Cup. The economy has made it hard to generate the money and all the research has made it more sophisticated. Forty-three cars to me is a good number, but 33 would be good, too.

All those things stayed away from us tonight.

He never raised his hand and said there wasn't on the table the things he need to do his business. He just needed the time for it to work out.

bikes chance dirt gets good job jumping race situation themselves worries worry
If (a racer) gets a chance to race more, he'll do a better job for you. If they put themselves in a situation with good equipment, it doesn't worry me. What worries me is the off-the-track stuff. Carl Edwards is off jumping dirt bikes now. That worries me.
