beat closing guy whether
I'd like to think that we're one of the favorites. But whether we're the guy to beat or not, we'll find out in the closing laps.
car certainly effort fought giving happy jeff lap lead lucky mark martin racing stayed team time
I am real happy with a top-10. We were way off. I just can't say enough for the DuPont Chevrolet team. If it weren't for the effort of the team and never giving up, we would have been way way back. We got lucky that one time racing Jeff Burton so Mark Martin wasn't able to lap us. We stayed on the lead lap and fought for everything we could and got a top-10. I don't know how we didn't because we certainly didn't have the car to do it tonight.
car decided driving lie move somebody
If they've already decided to move to another team, then you know where their commitments lie and where they want to be. As an owner, I wouldn't want somebody driving my car if they don't want to be there.
believe decide gone illnesses mom nobody percent plans trying
With his mom and some of the illnesses she's gone through, Robbie is trying to decide right now what his plans are. It has nothing to do with our performance. I believe 100 percent in Robbie Loomis and his abilities. When we're on, there's nobody better.
believe create fell four matter mix next people perception possible supposed win year
When you win four championships, you create a lot of expectations that you are supposed to be in the mix every year. This year we fell short, but no matter what people believe or what the perception is, we are doing everything possible to get back in there next season.
anybody capable good time
Only time will tell as to what we're really going to be capable of this year. But right now I feel like we're as good as anybody out there.
believe excited final last races ready saw season steve win
I don't know if we had to go win a championship in February, if that was the final event, that we'd be ready for that. But I really believe just in the last 10 races of last year, what I saw in Steve was unbelievable, and that really has me excited about getting this season started.
past people changed
I don't feel like I've really changed. Maybe I have let people see more of me than in the past.
amount nice reason scores watch
They have some outstanding individuals. You watch their scores and they score a nice amount of points. There's a reason for that.
best charles consistent dickens either fifth fourth man seem settle settling shoot tried worst
Was it Charles Dickens who said it was the best of times and the worst of times? That's how I feel. Either they're real good, or they're real bad. There's no in-between. We can't seem to settle on our fourth and fifth men, either. We've tried a lot of different combinations, and we're just not settling on a fourth or fifth man who can shoot a consistent score.
cool five top
It was really a cool day to be able to get back in the top five and have something for those guys.
ask brings chief crew earned ethics given hard positive treated works
He's always got that positive attitude. He works hard. He doesn't ask to be treated different or given anything special. Everything that he's gotten, he's earned from hard work, and I think he brings the same work ethics into the crew chief job.
best driving hearts ourselves trying
To me, it's going to come down to driving our hearts out, doing everything we can and then trying to get ourselves in the best position.
believe build car earlier great hard hope results team though
Even though we had a great car and great results here in the spring, this team has been working hard to build a new car. We believe it's even better than the car we used here earlier this year, we just hope the results are the same.
