That ended up being a great lap, ... It didn't fee as if it was going to be a top time, but we'll take it.so, all in all, I am excited.

This was an amazing run, ... We just overcame a lot of stuff. The guys did an incredible job of keeping their cool in the pits and changing out what we needed. It was just a great night of teamwork. These guys kept me in the game all night long, and I owe it to them.
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.
almost bad best continue daytona guys maybe proud race win won work
I'm proud of this race team. These guys continue to work their butts off through adversity, making the best of a bad situation. We almost won another race today. We're doing everything we need to do. We won the Daytona 500 and maybe we'll win the championship.

I think this offense has got a governor on it. It's called Joey Harrington.
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.

Last year, everybody felt that the champion was going to be a team that made it clean through the final 10,

Man what a night. It just goes with my motto about the championship 'if it is meant to be it is meant to be'.
