We ran really well at Phoenix last year. That should be a good spot for our team.
cars contention couple fast flat focus front great hampshire improving lap last learned race reason run team time
I've learned a lot about New Hampshire over the last couple of races, ... It's flat and fast and I think I'm improving with every lap that I run there.We accomplished making the 'Chase' but now it's time to focus on going after the championship. We have a great team and great race cars so if we can run consistently up front I don't think there's any reason why we couldn't be in contention for the big prize.
anybody daytona everybody goes good laps last matter says telling tries
Everybody did a good job. I think if it goes like that for the 500 it'll be OK. I'm telling you no matter what anybody says or tries to say or mandate, those last laps of the Daytona 500 are going to be exciting.
bunch last
We should be a bunch better than we were last season, and if that's the case, then we're going to be really, really good.

There are a million reasons to want to get off to a good start. Team morale is a big deal. But there's the mathematical reason you need to have a good start. ... Kurt did it last year and it got him going.

I talked to Brad at pretty great length last night. Brad and I have never had a cross word. I was over at his house with the whole crew the other night. I believe it was just differing opinions over the best way to do things at the shop.
acceptable last poor race reed start
I just got a poor restart at the last start and we couldn't do anything with Reed or Kevin. It was an acceptable race but not really what we wanted.

The Fusion really feels like our cars last year, and when they were good last year, they were easy to drive.

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.

That's awesome. There's no bias in the media.

It's not supposed to be easy. It's not supposed to be driving down the interstate.

Whatever it is your doing out there, don't lose hope, you just keep digging and things can work out. I'm proof.

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.
