caught cheating guys
Guys get caught cheating all the time. Cheating is nothing new in the garage.
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
capable certain driver felt full given harder learn realized situations understand year
I've raced harder this year than I've ever raced before. You think you're doing all you can. I've always felt like I've given 100 percent, but you're put in certain situations and you find you're capable of doing more. Hopefully, I still haven't realized my full potential. I feel like I've got a lot to learn and as a driver I can get a lot better and each year I understand there's more to me than I even thought I had.
care good run takes target
The target is to run as good as you can every week. Everything else kind of takes care of itself.
break bristol caught deal good hard jump main miss moment nasty wrecks
The thing about Bristol is you can be really good but still caught up in a wreck. That's probably the main concern. Even if you're the leader, it's hard to miss wrecks sometimes because of all the lapped traffic. That's just Bristol. You can't take a break at any time. The moment you think you're doing good, it'll jump up and deal you a nasty blow.
