I've been doing this for a long time. Bill's won races, and I just like what he stands for and how he conducts business.
I ran out of brains with about five to go and hit the wall a couple of times. I just saw Kurt and wanted to win so bad. I'd rather mess up trying. I did all I could.
I drove a little tentative at a couple of points because it was loose, and then I was mad at myself because I thought maybe I should have tried a little harder. But then I saw Rusty crash and I thought maybe I did the right thing.
It was a little impatient and immature, but he saw other people doing it,
I've been out there and gotten hit in the back with a bump draft that you would have thought you hit the wall it was so hard. And that's not going to be possible anymore.
I hope he visits with NASCAR and they explain to him that he needs to calm down.
That's going to be really arbitrary to police because even the most sublime bump drafts at a time when a guy's getting ready to make a move in another direction can result in sending a guy out of control.
I know Texans are proud of their football teams. It's an honor for me to pay tribute to one of their best.
I was running up high in the corner and he just came in there and tried to bounce me out of the groove,
I like the way Bill does business and he has created a strong organization.
I like the way Bill does business and he has created a strong organization. NAPA and I look forward to continuing our winning ways at Bill Davis Racing on the track, as well as extending our successful marketing efforts off the track.

A lot of people might look at it as a step back, but I certainly don't,
I've never had a problem with Robby, ... Like I said, I just held my ground is all I did and he just decided he wanted to take that place from me instead of working for it.
