It was such a dramatic escalator that I was on. It was at 90 degrees. I was going straight up like a rocket ship into space. And I was thrown in with the sharks. They said sink or swim in this Cup deal.
Each driver has their own identity and from one week to another, normally it stays the same.
Jimmie Johnson is putting a whoopin' on everybody!
You really don't put a value on your first win, it is priceless no matter where you are.
I am grateful to Penske Racing for six very productive years. Together we won a lot of races - 16 in all. I'm proud that we won on a variety of tracks.
I also appreciate the lasting friendships I've made while working with our great sponsors through the years, including Miller Lite, Shell and Dodge.
With a little bit of racing luck and a little bit of staying on top of our game and not let the big picture get away, we could do the same thing we did last year.
We had (the car) in position late in the race and I thought we had a shot. You could just see it brewing. With 20 to go, it was going to get busy.
We've never seen a spark here out on the race track, because we've never run under the lights, so you'll see sparks in odd places that you've never seen here before.
Today's Friday and I'm fast. I don't know what to say. Usually, I'm 15th or so.
We just missed the handle on it again. It was just way too loose off the corners.
We did what we needed to do and I thought it turned out well, ... I just came up a bit short on Jimmie Johnson.
We're independent teams, but we want to beat each other. Unfortunately, we were a little too loose in cool air and we just couldn't get a handle on it.
Yeah, a little slicker. I've got it working in the draft now.
