left race roger stand turn
Roger told me to stand on the right pedal, turn left and go fast. He doesn't want me to do anything different. Just race hard, race smart.
contender ended feels good great last momentum races rolling year
It feels good to get off to a great start. But we're just two races in. I'd like to say that we're a championship contender with the way we ended last year and we'll just try to keep our momentum rolling forward.
consistent crew equipment gave great leading proud race
The crew gave me great equipment to drive. I'm real proud of this effort. It's a race leading up to the Chase. We have to go and we need consistent finishes, so I'm happy.
coolest race sound
The coolest thing is when you come to a race ... when you come and see it live and you're there and you get the sound and you get the feel and then the smell,
car dad legend next parts race together unless week wrecked
This is like my dad's race team where we had one Legend car. If we wrecked it, we couldn't race the next week unless we had enough parts to put it back together again.

That's what race fans love to see. That's what they bought this ticket for. That's what they're sitting in the grandstands rooting on their favorite driver for is to see him get out there, mix it up clean and bring it home just like we were, third and fourth.

We definitely had great times together. Biffle and I grew up running trucks together. It's a great relationship and not just one race will tear it apart.
bumps dig fans goes leading race racing running second trophy
If we're leading and he's running second and he bumps me out of the way, I'd understand. That's what goes on, man. This racing is awesome. Fans dig it. That's the big thing about Bristol, you have to come to race hard. You have to be able to hoist up the trophy at the end of the day without any grudges.
complete felt intensity kissed line race richmond stronger team track win
I can just feel the team has a stronger intensity level. All of us went out to the start-finish line at Richmond and kissed that start-finish line and kissed that race track . . . We all felt very complete by that win and now we want some more.
late position race
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.
definitely good hope race stay together tough trouble win
The race is definitely a high-intensity race. You have to stay patient. I've got one win there, but many tough finishes. I hope we're able to stay out of trouble in the pits and put together a good finish.

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.
attack build expect points race win
Now we have to go and attack each race for a win. We have to go to Dover and expect to win and try and build our points back up.
atlanta bad blowing bogey catch difficult early golf gonna guys last later leader mistakes motor overcome race rebound saw seemed solid start took trouble ways year
Last year we saw (Tony) Stewart have trouble as well as (Jeremy) Mayfield and they never seemed to rebound after that, ... It's just the pace. In a lot of ways it's like a golf tournament. If you start off and you're four- or five-under and the other guys are waffling around with a bogey and a par, they're not gonna catch you. It's up to the leader to make those mistakes and we did have a big mistake at Atlanta with the motor blowing up. That took away our solid advantage, so when you have a bad race early on it's just that much more difficult to overcome later on.
