across ask bit chip easier everybody flat good mean nobody office pole question roger run runs shoulder smiling supposed walk
The way that Roger runs his organization, it's a 'flat' organization. What I mean by that is that you can just walk into anybody's office and ask them a question on how we can get things done a little bit better or easier and nobody has a chip on their shoulder on how the totem pole is supposed to work. Everything is run flat across the board. Everybody is smiling and having a good time.
hard track
What we do is just race hard on the track every week. That's the way I'd like it to be documented, and if we watch the tape, we'll see that the No. 48 swerved into us first and I know that, before even watching the tape.
basis programs putting routine sports steps stuff taken talking
There's steps that I've taken already, and each week, talking with the sports psychologist on a routine basis and working with the different programs that we're going through. This is all stuff that you can say you're going to make a difference, but I'm putting it into action.
best bring car protecting shot top understanding whether
So there is going to be that balance of understanding how to get the best out of the car that day, whether it's 15th or even if I have a shot at a top 10, protecting that car so we can bring it back when we have to.
car charge competition driver
I feel comfortable around every driver out there and each driver is in charge of their own car, but you feel very secure racing the competition out there.
bad challenge competition days easier good run
That's what I live for, is the challenge and the competition on the track. You're going to have your good days and have your bad days, but it's easier to be comfortable because I know in the long run everything's going to be all right.

I just wanted to tell his crew chief that he started the car way too loose so, hopefully, they don't hurt anybody else in the Chase.
fun looked unique
I looked all around the place and said, 'Wow, what a unique and fun place for us to race!
best career definitely kurt late
I know that getting a career started this late -- 27 years old -- in open-wheel isn't the best thing to do. But if we dabbled here and there, you should definitely look out for Kurt Busch having some fun.
beginning force knew reckoned strong
I knew from the beginning he could be a strong racer, a force to be reckoned with. He's getting more and more comfortable.
broke car garage gas helmet jimmy obvious ran seat spencer strapped struck tooth words
I ran out of gas when I got into the garage area, and Jimmy Spencer ran into the back of my car. I was still in the car when he approached me with obvious anger. Words were exchanged, but I was still strapped in my seat with my helmet off when he struck me in the face. He broke my tooth and bloodied my nose.
along good great list popularity press previous quotes shows thanks
Hey, any press is good press. I think it just shows the popularity of NASCAR. But it is very disheartening to know that I'm on that list thanks to some (anonymous) quotes from execs from my previous team. I can tell you, I got along great with my teammates.
bud happy missed next puts
I'm happy that we got a pole. That puts us in next year's Bud Shootout, which we missed this year.
