I tried to get a run on the high side of Brian coming to the white, I guess. That just killed me. He blocked me up high and then I tried to go low. I looked in the mirror and here came Jimmie. I got stuck on the inside and I knew I was done.
That is what happened to us, I think. At the beginning of the year we went more toward them. ... But I've been telling them all year that I can't drive it like that. You put the same thing underneath me (that Johnson had), and I don't like it.
It's amazing how EA continues to innovate and make the game more fun for gamers and the drivers year after year.
They've got to do what they've got to do. I've always done it that way. We led the most laps, but when it came time to get the win, they did everything they could.
The retirement package that was available for my almost 32 years of employment will vanish before many others and myself are eligible to receive it, if this new plan is implemented.
This is a very competitive sport, and things aren't going to go your way every year. But we are capable of so much more, and we'll use these next 10 races to try to get back to that level.

It's a big, big deal to be on the front row.
It was going to be long night, no matter what. It wasn't a lot of fun. I didn't have car capable of getting in. No adjustments we made helped.
It was spectacular, probably one of the coolest things I think I've ever done. I'm so glad we got a chance to do it. It just puts a whole different perspective on life when you are in that type of an environment.
It's not that we should win a championship every year, but we certainly should be contending. That doesn't mean it's going to happen every year. But when it's not, we're not living up to our potential.
It's not there yet, but it has the potential.
It's the only autograph I've ever gotten from a driver that I've raced against.
I've known Steve for a long time. He has a lot of talent and we're excited about where the team is now.
