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.
easier extra inch lap pace race racing run smooth speeds tougher track
I think that it's going to be like that, single-file. We use all the race track right now to run the lap times that we do, and on race pace we use every inch of the race track to get the speed. ... It was easier to run side-by-side because you didn't need that extra track. Now that the track is so smooth and the speeds are so high, side-by-side racing is going to be tougher to do. And we just won't see as much of it.
couple finished great last michigan pit position run strategy strong tick
The last couple of races, we haven't finished like we've wanted to, ... But we had a great run at Michigan and a strong run at Fontana. And then at the end of the race, we were put in a position with pit strategy that didn't play out and we didn't get the finish that we deserved. We've got the speed, but we're just a tick off.
catch chooses coming dominating factor final hard hot people running saving seen streak team teams testing tests three
I think one big factor is testing and when a team chooses to test. We have been saving our test sessions for the final ten. We have three more tests coming up.its hard to know why you go from dominating to running tenth. But we have seen it a lot this year. Teams get on a hot streak and then people catch up.

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,
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?

I didn't come back and feel like I solved the world's problems. But I spent a lot of quality time with my wife and didn't think about racing.
