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.

Tony Stewart has the edge right now because he has the lead,

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.
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.

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.
comment joy people
I've actually had people comment to me, they misunderstand the joy that I get out of racing,
both bunch cars gonna helped laps learn miles race racing running saturday series stock sunday track
Running both series helped me in a bunch of ways. The first thing is I just got to race more. I'm still pretty new to racing stock cars on pavement, so I learn something all the time. The other thing is that it's just fun. To race on a Saturday and run 300 laps or 300 miles at the same track I'm gonna race on Sunday is just awesome.
both car exciting ford great helps news people ready running sit stand watch
Running both helps me a ton. I can't stand to sit around and watch other people race. Ford briefed us the other day and told us a lot of exciting news about the Fusion, so that should be a great car to run. I'm ready to go racing.

Running on Saturdays, if we run well, it seems to carry over and that's awesome for a driver,
