guys happy top
It's been a long week. We're just happy to come out of here (without wrecking). A lot of guys weren't so fortunate. We're happy with a top 10.
behind figure flip guy hard needed switch talent
It's pretty hard to figure out what is going on with that team, especially with the talent behind the wheel. He's just always been the one guy who could flip a switch and get going when he needed to.
common cut deal example guy main needs next pointless position races seems sort time
For example, one of the more common ones is if a guy races you really hard, and it seems pointless at the time, then next time when he's in a position that he needs a break, you don't cut him one. That's sort of the main one that I probably deal with most often.
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.
guys knowing love rearview
It comes down to knowing what you are doing out there. There are guys there, not naming any names, but there are guys you don't wan to get bump-drafted by. And there are guys that you love to see in your rearview mirror.
figured good guys pull run time tracks
I thought we were going to pull through and get one at Atlanta, one of the better tracks for me. But we do run good every time we come here. Some guys have this place figured out; we'll just have to go after them.
caught cheating guys
Guys get caught cheating all the time. Cheating is nothing new in the garage.
cars climbing guys remember safety
You've got a lot of young guys in there that haven't been in the sport that long, and they're climbing in these cars with all this safety equipment, and they don't remember when they didn't have headrests and things like that. So to them, there's no way you could ever get hurt.
bet
I'm surprised. I bet you all are surprised. That's the way it goes.
chance eighth fifth knew nobody run whatever
I knew nobody would go with me on the outside, but it was the only chance we had to win. I'm not here to run fifth or eighth or whatever we finished.
money pay
That is what they pay us the big money for.
everybody front headed knows lane leading victory
I'm not going to tell you, but I think everybody knows where we are headed and what we are going to do. I think it should get us back in Victory Lane a lot more often and at least up front leading laps.
attention detail excited impressed navy
I'm excited to be here and really impressed with the professionalism and attention to detail the Navy demonstrates.
points quit running surprised time win worrying
I'm really disappointed running like this. I'm surprised it's been this way most of the year, but now we have to go out and try to win races. We quit worrying about points a long time ago.
