As far as our relationship, that's great, ... I have a lot of respect for Todd and everything that he's done and accomplished here.
You wouldn't have thought it would have spread out quite this much, as far as just how few drivers are from North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. We still have some, but the majority are spaced out throughout the United States. I think it's just a credit to the sport and how much it's grown.
I think our relationship - mine and Dale's - as far as I'm concerned is as good, if not better than ever. When I came back in 2003, we talked about our differences and our problems, and I think they've been great since then.
You like to think every time you come here you have that opportunity at least, but you look at it and we've had kind of a dry spell as far as running well here. We've won some poles and things, but that's not really what we're after.
I'm sure they could not see out of their back windows, not that they needed to because nobody else was close.
After the sun sets, there's no more problem.
I'm not saying that $10,000 isn't a lot of money, but I think Jeff can probably handle that OK. He probably felt after it was over that it was worth that much anyway.
I'm going to fire him for next week and then he's going to come back at Charlotte too,
I'm exhausted but very emotional. As I came down the straightaway, it was just an incredible feeling.
I'm fired up about this. I don't understand it.
I'm extremely happy. That's actually faster than I thought I could go with this car.
I know you're supposed to slow down, and I know that I saw the caution lights, but I was just making sure.
I'm pissed off, to be quite honest. You've got the same people doing stupid stuff back there and there's no reason for that.
I'm not sure that person exists. I don't know that you're going to have that whole package in one person again.
