key learn possibly race test tracks
This test right here is very important, very key for our team, not only just for this race (March 12 at Las Vegas), but for a lot of tracks. We'll need to learn as much as we possibly can, not only for Las Vegas, but for other tracks that are similar.
faster great smooth track
The track was a lot faster and it had a lot more grip. I like it, it was real smooth and they did a great job.
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.
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.
bristol considered toughest track
I considered it a pretty big accomplishment personally, because for me Bristol is probably the toughest track on the circuit.
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.
figure forward gotta next sure year
I'm pretty disappointed I didn't make the Chase, but you know, we gotta look forward to what we can do these next 10 races, to make next year a better year. (We'll) just try to figure out what we need to do to make sure the team's right ... the car's right.
behind best disposal good position team
I'm in the best position I've ever been in when it comes to what I have at my disposal with my crew, my resources, my team and the effort. Everything behind me right now is as good as it has ever been, and better in a lot of areas.
driving good time
I'm just going to keep driving and have a good time doing it.
