himself kid position
For a kid like him to put himself even into that position was pretty remarkable.
common deal dictated feelings felt guy lowest points ranked
It was a big enough deal where I felt like I had to say something. The lowest guy in points in this series, if he doesn't like something, he should feel like he's responsible to go in there and tell them about it, too. Your feelings aren't ranked by points standings and your common sense shouldn't be dictated by that.
chase dictate leaving nights
It's one of those screwed-up nights that's probably going to dictate how the Chase comes out, ... I should be leaving here with a 100-point lead, but here I am in a tie.
cast doctors evaluation fitted great looks meet thorough until wear worse
I'm a little sore. The doctors were great and did a pretty thorough evaluation of me. They didn't find anything broken, but just to be sure, they fitted me with a cast that I'll wear until I meet with my doctors on Monday. It looks a lot worse than it is.

Our number one goal this year is to go win the Daytona 500.
everybody good heard kid somebody talked
Everything that I had heard about him and everybody that I talked to about him said he was a good kid and somebody that they thought had a good future. I wanted to be a part of that.
balance beginning caught disastrous five kept liked maintain means picture race stayed top trying until
As the race went on, we just kept fighting, trying to get the (car's) balance right. But we stayed in the top 10 all day. Most of the beginning of the race we stayed in the top five until we got a little behind, and we just never could really get caught up. But we were able to maintain all day. So it wasn't by any means a disastrous day, but with the big picture I would have liked it to be better.
exactly finish finished hardest needed run tonight
It's probably the hardest top-10 finish we've ever run here, but we did exactly what we needed to do tonight with the circumstances that we had. It finished out just fine.

I won't until Joe says so. He's had two of his Cup drivers upside down here this week. He's not going to be happy.
driving growing hate life maybe might race realize scares starting
I hate to say I'm growing up because it scares me to think I might be but maybe I'm starting to realize there are more things to life than driving a race car.
definitely greatest personally sun
This is one of those days, I don't want it to end, ... I don't want to see the sun set. It's definitely the greatest day of my life, professionally and personally up to this point.
changes drive kept patient scared seen telling
I kept telling them just to be patient and keep working on it. If you'd have seen the changes we made, you'd have been scared to drive this thing.

I think they should leave the rear bumpers alone and make soft bumpers in the front.
almost gotta guys hanging hit last loose quarter rear reason straight
You're 11th, but a lot of those guys gotta stop, so we're really more like fifth... I may have over-adjusted on that last stop, so I'll take the blame, but the reason you may be loose is because your right rear quarter panel is hanging almost straight out after the 20 (Stewart) hit you.
