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.
I think that everybody in the garage area has a lot of respect for Jeff and I think that's because of what he's accomplished and the way he's gone about it that NASCAR has that same respect for him.
You know, driver-crew chief relationships, if you get six good years, that is longer than a lot of marriages, ... We do have a huge amount of respect for each other, and Todd has brought back a leadership that we haven't seen since he left, really.
I think Earnhardt took that role, just like he did everything else. He was in charge of everything, and he'd put himself in that position. Not that anybody could have taken that position away, but we all had a huge respect for him.
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.
