emulate front matter runs trying works
It doesn't matter how he runs the first part of the race, he always runs up front and I think that's because he works on his stuff. So that's someone I'm trying to emulate there.
fall fortunate fun further next race
I think we are fortunate this is the next race considering our position. I don't think we can fall much further back, so I think it's going to be fun race in California.

I think we are fortunate this is the next race considering our position.
bodies control good wing
I think that the wing is pretty neat. If they can control it better with the way the bodies are now, I think it is a good thing.
chance good outside stranger win
I think we're just on the outside of having a good chance to win the championship. So, if we were to do it, it would be spectacular. It would be a long shot, but, I'll tell you what, stranger things have happened.
bumper drove until watched
I watched the tape, and I know how he did it. He was relentless. He just drove up under everybody's bumper until they got out of his way. That's what he did. We'll have to do it that way.
aware distance good points win
I want to win this race. But, at the same time, I'm really aware of the points situations. To come out of here and distance myself on the good of 10th place would be awesome.

I went with them to the bank that day, ... and my parents were stressed out. They went in there and came out with an envelope and all the money. My brother went and bought a Silver Crown car. He had no clue if he was even capable of driving it.

I was just impressed that his first lap was four-tenths (of a second) quicker than anybody else, and his second lap was even quicker,
benefits enjoying success
I think I'm the one that benefits and it's making me look really good. The success we've had is not all my doing, that's for sure. But I am enjoying it.
accident balance caught close everyday mechanical pit problem season share speeding teams types worse year
I think from the outside, things look worse than they are. But those of us on the teams and working on it everyday know how close we have all been to having a completely different season up to this point. You get in an accident that wasn't your fault. Or get caught speeding down pit road. Or have a mechanical problem that wasn't really anyone's doing. Every team is going to have their share of those types of things before the year is over with. If it does, then everything will balance out, and we'll be back in it in no time.

Johnson doesn't know it, but I completed more miles than he did by the time he took the checkered at Daytona. I was already flying west.

Maybe if we can get us a win this weekend, we can get on the roll we need in the Cup Series, too.
That was a real race, a lot of fun,
