best good happy looked performance positive
We're just happy to we have some things that have been positive and going our way. We haven't looked like we've had the best performance out there but we have had some good situations.
anybody believe best blast certainly days driver excitement fans guys miss push racing replace saw shove talent
He was one of the most competitive guys out there. There were days when he'd push you and shove you right out of the way and frustrate you, then there were other days where you just saw his talent and you had a blast racing with him. I think certainly the fans miss the excitement that he brought. I don't think there will be anybody to replace Dale. I believe he was the best race-car driver I've ever raced against.
best cars track
We were one of the best cars on the long runs. We just couldn't get track position.
cute-relationship dating-someone being-the-best
You've got to be the best person you can be in your life.
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.
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.
came car caution good might run stuck tony
I thought we might have had something for him. The car just stuck so good through (Turns) One and Two. I thought I was going to get a run on Tony down the back straightaway, but then the caution came out.
hear kidding phenomenal race sudden win
I thought there was no way Jimmie could win the race, or I wouldn't have left. All of a sudden I hear he wins, and I go, 'You've got to be kidding me?' That was just a phenomenal win.
bond united
I think we're united in a lot more ways. I feel like we were always a family, but I feel like we have a tighter bond with the family. We've all experienced a loss.
battling brings bristol chase corners envelope guys pushing tight track
I think Bristol already brings that out in guys, because there's such tight corners and the track is fast, and I just think you're going to see guys battling to get into that chase who are going to be pushing the envelope really, really hard.
bottom plenty somebody talent wants whether
I think there's plenty of young talent out there. It's just whether or not somebody wants to give them the chance. That's the bottom line.
bad event good numerous races ran results several situations strong
Our performances haven't been as bad as our finishes. We've had several races where we were completely off on our setup, but we've had numerous situations where we ran strong during the event but didn't have the good results to show for it.
bunch cars changes chase personnel race regroup themselves
Our 2006 started when the (2005) Chase started. We were able to regroup and make a bunch of changes -- not just personnel changes, but changes with the race cars themselves as well.
certainly crashes guys heck less nascar race saw seen zones
I think having those no-bumping zones out there did make a difference. There was certainly some desperation for the guys who had to race their way into the 500, but I think we saw a heck of lot less crashes than we would have seen without NASCAR making that change.
