bit definitely next weekend wish
I wish we were in a little bit better position. But you're definitely going to see all that we have to give this weekend, next weekend and the weekend after that.
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.
bit confidence missing scratch searching steps stop tears turn
Yeah, it tears our confidence down a little bit and it makes us scratch our heads, and sometimes we don't always go in the right direction. But we never stop searching for what we've got to do to turn it back around. Sometimes, you've got to take big steps to turn it around and, sometimes, it's just right there and you're just missing one little ingredient.
bit criticism critics-and-criticism everybody four ourselves recognize understand won
Years like that make you hungrier, make you humble. The criticism has come a little bit stronger, come more often. I understand why. We've won four championships, a lot of races. We've prided ourselves on being competitive every year. When we're not, we recognize as well as everybody we're having an off year.
bit bump deal driving eventually guys saw
Our deal could have been avoided. A lot of them could have been avoided. I saw a lot of things just out of control. I saw a lot of guys out there driving aggressive. If you bump someone, something is going to eventually happen. I was a little bit anxious.
air bit bump cars curious drafting early goes guys instead late learned manage push rule type
I like this rule because it's going to take a lot of the bump drafting out of play. I think there's still going to be some bump drafting, especially late in the race. But I think it will make guys have to think a little bit more about how they pass. That goes back to the type of drafting I learned early on. We used the air to push the cars around instead of the bumpers. I like that type of drafting, and I'm curious to see how we'll manage it.
bit evil pass takes ways
I think it's an evil. There are ways to pass without it. It just takes a little bit longer. I've never been for it, but I've got to be a part of it. I don't have a choice. I want to win.
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.
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.
