atlanta believe came close coming fall finish great last nervous roll run success took track understand worried year
We're on a great roll here with another 1.5-mile track coming up. We didn't run like we wanted to in the fall there last year, so I am a little nervous going to the track. But I believe we understand what took place last time. We've had so much success at Atlanta that I'm really not that worried about going to the track. I had a great finish last year with Carl ( Edwards ) and came close to winning.
caught hope year
This year is about being consistent, ... There aren't any secrets. You just get what you can and hope you don't get caught up in any crashes.

certain guarantees ride wave
This sport is so competitive, you don't know how long you're going to be able to ride certain waves. I don't think our wave has peaked. But we've been very close. We've been in the hunt. And there are no guarantees for the future.

With a player who has had the career of Brett Favre, one of the greatest quarterbacks to play the game, I don't think you would ever sit him for a ball game, ... It's a long season and there are opportunities to put a young player in and still not sacrifice being efficient. As long as Rodgers is able to operate the offense, there are going to be opportunities down the road.
ok playing sound trying turn writer writers
You have a writer trying to write things that you would say, and you have to make it sound like what you would say. Fortunately, I am playing myself, so I can turn to the writers and say, 'I would do it like this,' and they are OK with that.
final team waiting
We are a championship team and we have been waiting for the final 10 to get here.
anticipate change continues cup far forward four hope learned lessons looking taught year
With my four years in Cup so far, each year had . . . a different set of pressures. I'm looking forward to it this year. I don't anticipate it to be the same. It just continues to change and intensify each year. I just hope that all the lessons I've learned so far have taught me enough that I can get it done.
bit car recognize result
Yes, a little bit because you really have to recognize when you are being abusive to the car and as a result to the tires.
best five top
We're doing the best we can (without Chad) and, hopefully, we can come out of here with another top five and take it from there.
