To avoid this kind of wreck, you just can't race hard when you're in a tight space, ... You gotta be smart.
awesome car coming developed driver format good gotten great job places practice race size team third track tracks type
This type of race track - we race on so many tracks this size and in this format that as a driver I've gotten really good at these places and I feel comfortable coming to these places. As a team we've developed some awesome cars. We went out there and I think we were third in the first practice today. It's pretty straightforward. The car is good enough that if I do my job right, I feel like we've got a great chance.

The races I have had here have been disastrous, ... We've had wrecks and steering problems and I've definitely screwed up my fair share of stuff here.

along car drivers flying fun machines neat night pinch race together
I think race car drivers and airplanes go together pretty well. They're just neat machines and I've always thought about being a pilot. So I'm having fun with that. I have to pinch myself when I'm flying along at night in my own airplane, going to a race somewhere.

chance happened matter performed race second time track trying winning
That would be unbelievable. I don't know how probability works. Every time you go to the race track you have the same chance of winning no matter how you performed in the past, so I'm trying not to think about what happened before -- just go out and do the same thing we did the first time and the second time and if we get the same result, man, that would be unbelievable.

I saw (Green) get sideways and go flying up the race track and I thought I could do a good job of going underneath him. I ended up running into the back of Kyle Petty.

I think you're allowed only about one bad race for these next 10,

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.
