car changes ford
We actually have just as many changes to our car as Ford has for theirs.
again meant
We'll do it again this year, and if it's meant to be, it's meant to be.
car cars contact potential track
Martinsville is a place where contact is going to come into play, and tempers will be high, ... It's a track where you can never get away from a lapped car or the cars you're racing, so the potential is there to have contact.
good risks
It's not a good thing to come from the back. There are a lot of risks I'll have to take,
good horrible intended last taking took wreck
I feel bad. I don't know what else to say, ... I started a wreck and took out a lot of good cars. And I've apologized to everyone and called everyone. That was the last thing I intended to do and I feel horrible for it. So I'm taking the responsibility.
coming nice risk took
I got by him and inched out a nice lead. The cautions started coming at that point, and we just took a risk on some strategy.
good great overcome plays second struggling team
Unfortunately, with a struggling team, with the team they have right now, two things happen. They are not good enough to overcome those turnovers. And then the second thing, I don't think Brett has as many great plays (in him) as what he has had in years past.
good knew
It was pretty nerve-wracking. I knew I had to get a good re-start, and I got a good run.
car drive knew outside push
That was so much fun. I knew if I could get to his outside and get around him I knew the car was going to drive good. I just didn't want to push the issue. Then they had that green-white-checker at the end.
