I know Texans are proud of their football teams. It's an honor for me to pay tribute to one of their best.
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.
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.
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 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.
