chase leader matter points pressure races season
I think when you're the points leader you want the season to be over right then and there, ... It doesn't matter how many races in the Chase you are, so from here on out as the points leader, there is some pressure being on you in that position.
five four hit last leading lost momentum near needed points races reason stride top
Momentum and leading the points would be the same thing, ... Last year, we were near the top and lost the momentum. We didn't lead the points going into (the playoff), and the reason was that we weren't where we needed to be. We were doing everything we could, but we really hit our stride four or five races in.

I feel that the point system and the same points being available for everybody is a good thing,

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.

It was just a real solid day for the Lowe's team today,

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.
