exciting final five incident isolated laps last year
I'd say this one was more exciting. Last year it was an isolated incident that made that one. Being three-wide, three-deep in the final five laps is, I think, a pretty exciting finish.
finished gone laps matt reason saying turn
Matt is always saying that. He has not reason to complain. He started the whole thing by squeezing me in Turn 2 with just 20 laps gone in a 200 -lap race. I just finished it.
extremely fun laps loose neither racing
It was fun racing like that. Obviously, if there had been 80 laps to go, neither one of us would have been racing each other that way. Definitely, he was better. We weren't. We were extremely loose there at the end.
far laps last led list race win
As far as the to-do list is concerned, it's the No. 1 thing. The last two years, I've led enough laps to win the whole race outright.
anybody beat best car drove everybody gordon jeff knows lap ought positive run
Everybody knows who had the best car here today, ... There wasn't anybody who was going to beat us. Jeff Gordon got the trophy, but he wasn't going to beat us. We had the best car. All you have to do is get the lap times. They could run with us for 15 or 18 laps, but we always drove away. That's the positive thing that we ought to take away from today.
fun laps neither obviously racing
It was fun racing him like that. Obviously if it had been 80 laps to go, neither of us would have raced each other that hard. ...Definitely, he was better.
fun hard knowing laps neither race racing
It was fun racing like that. If there'd been 80 laps to go, neither one of us would have raced each other that hard. But with 30 laps to go, you're going to race each other that hard for sure, knowing you're getting down to the end.
chase perfect start
It's a perfect place to start when you're in the Chase for the championship.
bumper coming front guys middle share trust
Guys are doing it in the middle of the corner, coming off it and coming on. It's softening the front bumper because it's the guys that are doing the hitting. Trust me, I did my share of it, too.
explain guys hard listening talented
He's a talented kid. He's one of those guys that when you explain something to him, he does a lot more listening than he does talking, and that's hard to find with guys that are really competitive.
hopefully insurance life renewal truth wait
I need a renewal of my life insurance policy, to tell you the truth. I just can't wait for this thing to be over so I can get out of here and hopefully not be hurt.
blame proactive problems seeing teams worked
He was proactive about it. He didn't blame the teams and the drivers. He did his part and worked on the racetrack. It's made it better. We're not seeing the problems we had in testing.
darn far favorite leading led mean points sunday winning
Being the favorite doesn't mean a darn thing to me, to be honest, as far as winning the points, ... I've led points championships before. The day I want to be leading is the Sunday at Homestead.
chase dictate nights
It was just one of those screwed-up nights that's probably going to dictate the way the Chase comes out,
