It's not that there were some (penalties called) that were or were not necessary. It's just that they are judgment calls that may or may not need to be made and they made them. We just have to go on. We finished where we finished.

break came chase chose closely create hack identity linked next plan question time
I really wanted to create my own identity and not be so closely linked with my brother, so I chose to go with Hendrick. But there's no question that my big break in the sport came about because of Kurt. At the same time I wouldn't be here if I couldn't hack it. I plan on being in the Chase next year.

car far fight good none orders spot teammates though tight
It's one of the things that you fight though when your car is good enough to win, your teammates car is good enough to win, too. It's a tight spot to be in, but as far as the team orders or anything, there was none of that.

It's a really great race track the way it is now.

Fair is fair; all love is war.
jobs real nice
Practice for us went pretty well. It started out slow, but guys did a real nice job on the M&M’s Camry today to get us to where we needed to be. Everybody back at the shop is building some great stuff and TRD (Toyota Racing Development) making some improvements for the Chase here this weekend and whatnot. Having a good time there in practice means a lot, but there’s obviously a lot of things that need to happen in the race this weekend for us and getting off to a good start and being able to carry that into the next 10 weeks.
