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.
dirt five local six stick track win
Don't stick around your local dirt track and win five or six championships in a row, ... because you won't go anywhere.
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.
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.

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.

We're not changing a thing, ... We're going out to win this championship, and we're gonna do it by having fun. We probably won't beat Tony Stewart; the guy knows how to win championships. But that's not going to stop us from giving 100 percent.
changing win
We're not changing a thing, ... If we're going to win this championship, we're going to do it by having fun. That way, even if we don't win it, at least we still had fun.

We're out to win this championship and we'll do it by having fun.

We learned a lot about how the track changes today, and some other things that should help us tomorrow. I just know, after winning today, I'm going to sleep well tonight.
coolest daytona enjoy guys mean obviously races rank win
It's obviously one of the most prestigious races you could participate in. ... To win it, I don't even know how big it would be. I think it would rank right there with a win at the Daytona 500. I know our guys would really enjoy it and it would mean a lot to everyone on the AAA team. For me, as a driver, it would just be the coolest thing in the world.
fault messing winning
It was a winning car, and it's my fault for messing that up. You've just got to learn.
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.
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.

Yeah, I noticed that the Disney thing over there at the Daytona 500 (at Daytona USA) is a Chevy. They win a lot here. Chevy has run really well.
