brought car coming feeling gonna great maintain position stay staying track
Robbie brought a great car here, ... I had a feeling that if (Matt) could stay up front, if he didn't get snookered by staying out when he shouldn't or coming in when he shouldn't, if he could maintain track position he was gonna be really good.

I think Honda will be here too. I think that all of the world's automobile companies certainly will have a desire to get involved in our stock-car racing, and I think it would be good for the fans and good for the sport as it occurs.

Jack has no interest in Jamie McMurray getting out of his contract. I've got no interest in letting Kurt Busch out of his contract. And I certainly have no desire to go cause angst in my sponsors.
