believe blame lack nobody percent performance year
I believe 100 percent in Robbie Loomis and in his abilities. When we're on, there's nobody better, and because of our lack of performance this year I really don't think that, you know, Robbie should be put to blame for that.
car good guys kyle
Kyle had a very good car and could get by all of us. My guys got me out (of the pits) first.
bit gets pass time tough
It has always been a tough place to pass on. It's still going to be tough, but every time we come here it seems...it gets a little bit easier.
care certainly challenge next ourselves points position ready turned
The challenge is getting us ready for next season. I don't really care where we end up in points now. It's all about getting ourselves into position to get things turned around.we certainly don't want to be in the position we are in now.
against certainly decided definitely enjoy everybody faster felt fired great hard holding matt moved position race racing sorry track wreck
We were all racing hard there at the end for position and he was holding everybody up. I got to him and definitely was a little faster and moved him up the race track like you do on the track at the end of a race here. We went down into one and he decided to wreck me instead. It is pretty disappointing. We had a great car. I am sorry that happened. I like racing with Matt, I certainly didn't enjoy racing with him today. I showed him my displeasure. I get fired up too. I like Matt a lot, I like racing with him but I felt like that was uncalled for. We will keep racing hard against him in the future.
amount expect occupy races trying win
We're all trying to win races and we're all out trying to occupy the same amount of real estate. I would expect we're going to see more and more of it.
anybody couple feels happening last matter racing seasons seem seen steady tracks
I think anybody that feels like we've slipped on the restrictor-plate tracks hasn't seen restrictor-plate racing for the last couple of years. I mean, I think that no matter what our seasons are like, what's happening with our team, we always seem to be pretty steady at restrictor-plate tracks.
came caution closer fender gotten last might run tony wish
I thought I was going to get a run on Tony down the back straight, but then the caution came out. I wish I could have gotten a little closer to his bumper, it might have gotten a little more exciting. I wish that last caution hadn't come out, because I think I could have gotten a fender under Tony.
behind excited hold racing sideways teammates trying
I was just trying to hold on because I was completely sideways and my teammates behind me were trying not to get into me. They were racing one another. They got pretty excited. Unfortunately I didn't get as excited as I wanted to for the lead.
crazy obvious start sums year
That pretty much sums up the kind of crazy year it's been. It's obvious that we feel a sense of urgency. We've got to start making some things happen.
believe eventually five position running top victory week
I do believe in karma, but I also do believe in consistency. If you are running in the top five week in and week out, you'll put yourself in position to eventually get into Victory Lane.
aggressive bit help needs patient
Yeah, sometimes he needs a little bit more patience. I think that with NASCAR's implementing of the no bumping and aggressive driving, it's only going to help him to be more patient and to come into his own. But as young as he is, for him to be out there doing what he's doing, I'm pretty impressed.
behind hold sideways teammates trying
I don't know what it was. I was just trying to hold on, because I was completely sideways and my teammates (were) behind me.
good matter needed nights tonight
The way our season's gone, no matter how good we're running, no matter how bad, you just never know what's going to happen. You know, tonight is one of those nights we wanted and needed to happen.
