ahead behind guys points pressure
I feel like the pressure is not on us, ... I think the guys that are only one or 11 points behind or 10 points ahead of 10th place have more pressure.
fast speeds
We're just going too fast around here. The speeds are too much for this tire.
drivers families time work
The crews and their families need this time off more than the drivers do. They are the ones that work the long, long hours.
crosses line somebody until
We don't know where the line is until somebody crosses it.
front mirror rearview
It's just real tough. You can't see anything going into (turn) three, and then you can't see anything in your rearview mirror on the front straight.
beat beautiful best car driver knows race
It's going to take a lot to beat him. I think Jimmie is the best race car driver at this race track. He's got a beautiful line. He knows what his car needs. ... Before it's all said and done, we're going to have to outrun them.
against becoming drivers gonna gordon great inside jeff looking love matt names outside pieces racing
It's fun, isn't it? ... There's not enough pieces of pie. I love racing against Jeff Gordon and Matt Kenseth. We've got a lot of great names that are on the outside looking in, and a lot of great drivers that are on the inside that are really becoming the hunted, so it's gonna be fun.
carry close feelings hard job load week words
It's hard to put into words right now the feelings I've got. I feel like I've got to come in and carry my load this week and do my job to get the car as close as I can.
pressure ungodly
It's ungodly . . . the pressure that we get as drivers,
car chase guys last people pieces pressure recognized sponsors top wants
It's ungodly, I think, the pressure we get as drivers, not only from our sponsors but our car owners. I think the Chase last year, people recognized how much recognition the top 10 guys got by being a part of the Chase. Every sponsor wants to be a part of it, every driver, every team, but there are only so many pieces of the pie.
anymore drivers figure kids neat sit sponsors stature step supposed treat voice
Dale would sit us down, tell us how you're supposed to race, how you treat your sponsors and how you do things. We don't have that stature figure anymore for young kids to look up to. It'd be neat to have another Dale Earnhardt step up and be the voice of all the drivers in the garage, but right now we don't have that.
advantage decided defend example guys run smile sorry stand tired tv
You can't let all these guys run over you, ... They're going to take advantage of you, think they can do it every time. Dale just decided he had enough was getting tired of getting run over by these young guys. He just wanted to set an example that he's not going to take it any more. I think that's what you got to do. You got to defend yourself. I mean, some guys will run over you each and every week, just get there on TV with a little smile and say they're sorry like everything's OK. You know, that doesn't stand any more. I think you got to stand your ground.
guys run
You can't let all these guys run over you,

It's a great feeling, my guys have worked so hard this off-season. We've had the best pit crew in the garage the last couple of years and they showed it again today.
