cup maybe roll win
Maybe if we can get us a win this weekend, we can get on the roll we need in the Cup Series, too.
cup driver
I'm going to be a Busch driver or a Cup driver one day.
awesome believe cup driven excited glad means number start zero
I'm really excited about getting my 50th start. I read that the other day, and I can't believe that I will have driven 50 Nextel Cup races; I didn't ever think I'd get to drive one. It's just awesome and it means the world to me. I am really glad to be a part of the sport at this level. Hopefully, there is another zero after that start number before I quit.
casey cup dave drivers fans forward fun great looking money putting racing raising several sure time
I'm looking forward to racing at Pevely. I think there are several other Cup drivers going like Dave Blaney and Casey Mears so I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun putting on a great show for the fans and at the same time raising money for charity.
beginning cup eighth expect far goal happy million points pole primary race reasons sitting somebody until week whoever year
If you would have told me at the beginning of the year we'd have two Cup wins, a pole and be sitting eighth in points so far with one race to go until the 'Chase' I'd have said, 'Man, you've got somebody else'. I just didn't expect our year to go this well. Our primary goal this week is to make the 'Chase'. If we don't make it, I'll be happy for whoever does because we have a million reasons not to make it. But we really want to make it and I think we can.
breaks caution felt fresh good great jeff lucky race racing sitting telling win
We felt like if everything went well and we got some lucky breaks and a caution at the end that we would be sitting good at the end of the race on fresh tires. I am telling you what the big win for the day was that we had a lot of fun. Racing with Jeff Burton and Greg Biffle that was great fun.
media bias
That's awesome. There's no bias in the media.
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'.
create
We're here to create our own destiny. If we can get to the lead, it will be great. We'll just have fun.
good last phoenix ran spot
We ran really well at Phoenix last year. That should be a good spot for our team.
