car drafting driver good guys help knows race run
We were just out there drafting together. He's a good teammate. Some guys have their own agenda. But when you put him in the car, he knows how good a race car driver he is. He doesn't have anything to prove. If you give him a good car, he's going to run good. He's out there to help us and we're going to help him.
experience last learn learned maybe mentally mistakes needed season year
You learn more from your mistakes than you do from your success, and last year I learned a lot. That was an unfortunate season but maybe I needed to experience it to get back mentally to where I need to be.
concerned good run test
We didn't run as good as we wanted to in the test at Vegas, so I'm a little concerned there.
deal good
That's life. You've got to deal with it, good and bad. We'll be all right. I mean, if we make the chase, we make it. If we don't, we don't.
million somebody spend thinking tv
You're on the radio. You're not thinking about your language. They spend $10 million on a TV program, and they can't keep that from happening. That's ridiculous. Somebody is a real moron.

Denny did what he had to do. It looked like he'd been doing it for a while.

As a driver, I get called overrated all the time. So it is just good to get out there, put on a good race, get a good finish, and have good runs to remind people that there is a little bit of talent there behind the name.

I think we're all right. I think we're going to start third and fifth. I don't know; the 38's on the pole, right?
chase seven six three top wins
I think we're going to come into the Chase being top three in the points. We'll have six or seven wins this season, if not more.
awesome fans good hope keeps
I think it is awesome - I think it is good for our sport. It is really entertaining for the fans and it is really entertaining for the other drivers. I hope it keeps going.
best handle hands left nascar situation step worse
I think it's best left in the driver's hands and the crew's hands on how they handle this issue. I don't think NASCAR can step in and make any improvements. They'll probably make the situation a whole lot worse for all of us anyway.
carry confidence drivers easier hard matter nice rookie setup somewhere track win
It has always had a nice kind of grip, which makes it easier for rookie drivers to come in and get comfortable, but the setup is still hard to find. I think when you win somewhere you always carry that confidence into that track no matter what happens.
chad
I think what Chad did is nothing new in the garage.
begin good next together tony work
If Tony Jr. and I are going to work together next year, that'd be a good idea to begin work on that relationship.
