goal want achieve
It makes me very hard on myself when I don't achieve the goals I want to achieve. But I feel like that's what makes me as good as I am - I push myself to be better, constantly.
believe home years
I can't believe it. Two years ago I was here as a visitor of Dale Earnhardt Jr. and he invited me to come and stay in his motor home. That's the only other time I've been to victory lane.
opportunity doors answers
It's just all about opportunities, knocking doors down and see who answers.
racing action like-you
The recent actions by Kyle Busch are not consistent with the values of M&M'S and we're very disappointed. Like you, we hold those who represent our brand to a higher standard and we have expressed our concerns directly to Joe Gibbs Racing.
picked second
That was pretty good, we picked up three-quarters of a second from practice.
figured gain guys help hopefully main respect
That was my main goal. I figured I wouldn't have any help at all and all I wanted to do was gain respect from those guys for the 500. Hopefully we did that.
felt stand time
I felt like it was really time for me to stand up for what I felt was right and wrong.
car good hopefully improve last setup
We have some good setup notes. We had a good top-15, top-10 car last fall. Hopefully we can go back with that and improve on it.
amount bite bullet buy excited short
I had to bite the bullet and buy my own plane. It's a lot for me in a short amount of time, but I'm pretty excited about it.
bottom held quarter rear saying wrecked
Not at all. I went to the bottom and held my line. How they're saying I wrecked them with my right rear quarter panel, I have no idea.
asked conflict driving guy happen learn open totally
It was a conflict of driving styles. It's just one of those things where I asked Mark, 'Hey, you tell me what I can learn for that not to happen again.' I was totally open to anything he had to say. He's a guy you can learn a lot from.
car coming fix front harder looks lost ready sure tire took towards turn wall
It looks like I just lost the front end coming off turn four. Not really sure if a tire went down or what. The car took off towards the wall. The more you let off the gas, the harder it slides. I got in the wall a little bit, but we're going to fix the car and get it ready for the 150's (qualifying races).
deal finish gaining kept pit proud running year
This is the way that we've been running all year long -- just haven't been able to finish the deal off. I'm so proud of my pit crew. They just kept gaining and gaining (positions on pit road).
autographs commercial definitely front input seems tells
There's definitely been a lot of input from the fans. It seems everyone who comes to get autographs tells me which commercial they like the best. It definitely makes it a little more comfortable in front of the cameras.
