decide hard pops succeed time wants
Pops won't decide. He has been at DEI a long time so it's hard for him to just up and leave. But at the same time he wants me to succeed with this, so it's hard for him to decide what he wants to do.
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.
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.

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.

I cried a little bit in the race car on the way to the checkered flag. Well, maybe not cried, but at least my eyes watered up.
happiness happy knowing rather stay top tried
I can live with myself knowing I at least tried to win rather than stay in line. We're real happy to come out of here with a top 10.
