driving easy interstate
It's not supposed to be easy. It's not supposed to be driving down the interstate.
work-out digging proof
Whatever it is your doing out there, don't lose hope, you just keep digging and things can work out. I'm proof.
thinking car racing
We broke something, I think it was traction...
accomplish extra goal good percent pressure reason win
We've accomplished every goal we wanted to accomplish already, so I don't see any reason to put extra pressure on ourselves. If we just go out, have a good time, give it 100 percent effort, try to win these races, never look back, that's all we can do.
bad beginning bob bristol certainly chances confident crew entire fighting finish good happen heads held hurt increased kept runs solid starting string strong team together year
We started out strong at the beginning of this year then went on a string of bad runs starting with Infineon. That really hurt us in the points. But Bob (Osborne, crew chief) and the entire team held their heads up and kept fighting and together we got back into the 'Chase'. Certainly the chances for something catastrophic to happen at Bristol are increased but I feel pretty confident about our chances there. If we can come away with a solid finish there, I think we have a good chance at making the 'Chase'.
chance fact fairly meeting seemed
The fact that they were so unforthcoming at the meeting made me feel like no one would have a chance to fairly participate. It seemed like a done deal.
dare gonna races wished
I thought we were going to get it. When we look back at the end of the year, this is gonna be one of those races where we wished we had more like it. I dare not complain.
expects front guys hopefully including looking nobody takes unique worrying
We're kind of in a unique position. Nobody expects us to be here, including ourselves. We don't have pressure. And all it takes is one or two slip-ups from the guys in front of us, and we'll be right there. Hopefully they're looking back and worrying about us. I don't know if they are, but we feel like we've got a shot.
deal tough
We still have to deal with two really tough races,
foot
Was it really like a foot or something? ... I thought it was a little more than that, so that makes me more grateful.
chevy daytona disney noticed run win
Yeah, I noticed that the Disney thing over there at the Daytona 500 (at Daytona USA) is a Chevy. They win a lot here. Chevy has run really well.
sure today
Today was pretty ugly. I'm not sure what was going on.
car cool foolish good great lap lay line pole
The pole is great and all that, ... but the car is so good it would have been foolish to come out here in cool temperatures ... and lay it on the line the first lap and have a wreck.
hard hoping tried
They tried really hard to make it work. We were hoping for the best, but I don't think it's going to be possible. I wanted to do it so badly.
