aggressive car everybody feels hit knows sharp short slide tracks
I think sometimes we hit short tracks and everybody feels that they can be really aggressive and slide the car around. Jeff, he's sharp and knows what to do and how to make the car last.
cars final last nervous vulnerable worrying year
I think last year we were all nervous about it and worrying about the cars in the final 10 and how vulnerable they are and how much is on the line,
care figure keeps wish
I wish I knew. But to be honest, I don't care if I ever figure it out as long as it keeps going like this.
ball career greatest operate player sacrifice season sit
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.
car ten throughout top
We had a top ten car throughout the day,

assistant bunch carried coach football great individual sports
Football is such a team sport, so no one individual does it. No one coach or no one assistant coach or no one player, it's a great team sport, so I don't get carried away with a bunch of accolades.
cars choose five nobody race says tear win
The thing I don't like, ... is the five Roush cars can go on a tear and nobody says anything, then we go out and win a race and so we've got to be cheating. It does get frustrating, but I choose to take it as a compliment.

Quite an experience (this past week of media frenzy). It was the highlight of my career and hopefully I can experience it again some day.
aggressive care caused mistakes sit today
I've been aggressive before and made some mistakes that caused wrecks. Today I just wanted to sit and ride, and take care of things.
car country mouth people powerful stock store tool word
That's more stock car country out there, ... There were a lot more people there than the store expected, but I wasn't really surprised. Word of mouth is a powerful tool in stock car racing.
aggressive best car driving eyes guy handling hard hung led moves pace race smart sure worked
I just really slowed down the pace of the race in my eyes from what I was doing, made sure that I made smart moves that wouldn't have hung me out of the draft. I didn't try as hard to be the guy that led the most laps, made the most aggressive moves. I worked on the handling of our race car so at the end of the race we had the best driving car.
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.
