stuff
I just kind of used up my stuff there at the end.
belief believe character continued endeavors foundation god guard personal savior stand
His belief in God and his personal convictions about a savior is what I believe was the foundation of his personal character and fortitude. He was not one to quit. He continued on his endeavors to take up the mantle and be at stand guard for his country.
anytime california challenges pumped race
California has different challenges than Daytona. This is going to be a different situation. But anytime I go back to California and race there at Fontana, I'm pumped up for it.
hectic week
I had no idea how hectic this week would be. It's been great, but really exhausting.
needed took understand video
I needed to see the video to really understand what took place.
carrying coming great run second
I'm carrying a lot of momentum. Considering the circumstances, coming out of here in second (in the race) is a great run for the team.
bump bumper care gotten knew plate timid tracks trouble trying
I have to admit, I was a little timid with it up there. I knew it was there and it was softer, but I am really trying not to bump draft. I've gotten myself into more trouble at plate tracks than I care to, so I'm just going to keep my bumper to myself.
losing
I really feel this championship is about not losing it.
competing front great mark reason time wins
If you take a look at Mark Martin, he's been in the sport for a long time and at his age, the reason he's up front competing for wins and championships like he does is because he's in great shape,
inevitably people wreck
If you wreck enough people the old Dale Earnhardt idea will inevitably come into play. Get ready, because it's coming.
complaints fading hard racing time
I don't really have any complaints with how he (Stewart) raced me. The time he got me, it was just short-track racing. There was really hard racing out there, but I had a fading car, and I don't have any hard feelings.
aggressive car couple decide gaps laps lead offense points pressure protecting sets
Before long, there will be a couple car breakaway and some gaps from there. That's when the pressure really sets in and you've got to decide if you're protecting the points lead or if you need to play some offense and be aggressive and lead the most laps and really take some risks.
cars chief crew hard view
I kind of view it as jealously, and he doesn't have a crew chief in there working hard enough to make his cars as good.
cash chances good since
I just want to be a champion. I feel like I've had some really good chances that we didn't cash in on. I want to be a champion. It's my life. It's everything I've done since I was 5 or 6 years old.
