ended expect fee great guys race stops strategy top work
That ended up being a great lap, ... It didn't fee as if it was going to be a top time, but we'll take it.so, all in all, I am excited. I don't know what to expect for the race really, but I know my Lowe's guys are going to work their butts off with great stops and great strategy and we'll be there when it counts.
car ten throughout top
We had a top ten car throughout the day,
best five top
We're doing the best we can (without Chad) and, hopefully, we can come out of here with another top five and take it from there.
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.
final last mentally races regardless sure top tough year
Last year was tough at the end. This year we want to make sure that we're mentally able to make it through all 36 races and especially in the final 10, regardless if we're on top of the world or if we're going through a tough time.
bit exactly gradually held needed ten top
We did everything we needed to do and then just held our own for a little bit and gradually got tighter and tighter.a top ten is exactly what we needed.
behind casey clean committed good knew needed ranks run ryan stayed top
I knew I needed to get a good, clean start. I also knew Ryan (Newman) was going to get a run on me and when he went to the top I stayed committed to the bottom. One of my friends from the off-road ranks Casey Mears was behind me and I knew I was in good shape.
heading momentum
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.
governor joey offense
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.
champion clean everybody felt final last team
Last year, everybody felt that the champion was going to be a team that made it clean through the final 10,
