bottom bought catching hard knew last matt protecting slowly
I was slowly catching Matt before that last caution. I thought long and hard about what I would do if I was protecting the lead. I knew I wanted to be on the outside. I faked kind of to the bottom and he kind of bought it.
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.

I had trouble on restarts all day, spinning the rear tires. And Kyle was all over me. I knew I was going to have my hands full.

I knew deep down inside my heart that this team could still win.

I think we're getting some momentum back and heading in the right direction.

I was filling in for the 25 ... I'm not the only one that's been in somebody else's equipment or with somebody else's number on the side. There's been a lot of people doing it. It's just kind of how it is.

He is tremendous with these young people. He gets great participation. He really has the kids' respect. From a yacht club standpoint, we like to support things that are boat-related to encourage the next generation of boaters.

I know right now that Chad is probably kicking his TV in back home (in Charlotte, N.C.).
crazy drive home imagine technology ways
He is at home going crazy over this and I would imagine he will come back much more conservative. In some ways I am disappointed because he has always been one to drive technology in our sport.
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.
solid team
It was just a real solid day for the Lowe's team today,
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.
concerns drew fishy legal looked perfectly
I know it looked fishy and drew a lot of concerns in everyone's eyes. How can something be perfectly legal and then it's not allowed?
