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.
competing front great mark reason time wins
If you take a look at Mark Martin, he's been in the sport for a long time and at his age, the reason he's up front competing for wins and championships like he does is because he's in great shape,
complaints fading hard racing time
I don't really have any complaints with how he (Stewart) raced me. The time he got me, it was just short-track racing. There was really hard racing out there, but I had a fading car, and I don't have any hard feelings.
bit finally five four gas hit middle time tires tony trying
There was a little bit (of contact) with Tony trying to get by me. One time in the middle of (turns) 3 and 4, I think he hit me four or five times and I couldn't get any gas because my tires were off the ground. That's when he finally got by me on the inside.

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

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?
