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.
anybody department draws everybody fans football gains hit hope involved miles running safety theater walking wrecks
It's part of our sport. It's kind of like going to a football game, and you hope you see a big hit or a big tackle. It's part of the theater that's involved with our sport; it's part of what draws fans in. If we were out there in go-karts running 10 miles an hour, they wouldn't be watching. It's part of the risk. Of course, I don't want anybody to crash, I don't want to crash, but we've made a lot of gains in the safety department so that we are having wrecks and everybody is walking away.

coming couple feeling gas lost picture pit road running speeding worse
I lost a lot more in the big picture running out of gas and going down a couple laps. Coming down pit road without your tachometer, you have a pit road speeding violation, so I think it's a worse feeling to run out then play it conservative.

I think we're getting some momentum back and heading in the right direction.
effects good lingering next race start
I think that one of the good things in our sport is that there's always next weekend. You could see some lingering effects at the start of the next race weekend, but it disappears.

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,

It definitely is a lot easier here to use the bumper. When you put us all that close and the competition is this tough, you're gonna have bumping and banging.
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,

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