deserve expect goals happen heading honestly looking million point reasons
It would be more than I deserve at this point in my career, ... It was one of our goals heading into the season, but honestly at this point I don't expect it. It would be great, don't get me wrong, but if it doesn't happen I'm not going to get upset. There are a million reasons we shouldn't make it, looking back.
expected might nobody win
I don't feel any pressure, ... If anything, I might be having a little too much fun. Nobody expected us to be here; nobody expected us to win the championship.
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.
cars driving expect fortunate time year
I just didn't expect our year to go this well, ... I think I have been very fortunate to be driving these cars at the time I am driving them.
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.
edge tony
Tony Stewart has the edge right now because he has the lead,
four
We went in this thing and we pitted with four and I thought we could make it back up there.
engine great shop
The Roush Yates engine guys, I went over to the shop the other day, and they feel great about the new engines. I'm excited.
achieve competitor dominant jack less lucky perfection settle team though
I've teamed up with Jack Roush, and I couldn't be with a more dominant team than I am right now, ... Other than that, as a competitor I try not to settle for anything less than perfection even though we don't achieve it most of the time. I'm just very lucky to be a part of the team I'm part of.
crown drivers greatest produced rich series silver
The Silver Crown Series has produced some of the greatest drivers and they have a really rich history.
mean point
It would mean a lot to make the 'Chase' at this point in my career,
fifth forward four front looking next points running tracks win
Right now we're fifth in points and the next four tracks are tracks that I like, so I'm looking forward to running up front and doing everything I can to try and win this championship.
beat business giving laugh pass people stop tony tracks trying walked
People used to laugh at me when I walked around tracks trying to pass out my business card. We probably won't beat Tony Stewart, but that's not going to stop us from giving it 100 percent.
bad bristol run track
Bristol isn't a track I have run well at in the past. I think a lot of it has been because of bad luck.
