lost plays tyler
I don't know why Tyler has lost 10 straight. On film, they look good. It's just come down to one or two plays they haven't been able to make.
expected fight hard honestly nobody surprise work
Nobody expected this and now that it's there we will work very hard to fight back again. It's not a big surprise and that's the way it goes. It is honestly a surprise it did take that long before it happened.
confidence game high kid kids school teach toughest
One of the toughest things to teach a high school kid is how to win. When you have a tough game like this and you find a way to win, the kids confidence sky-rockets.
forward looking super worth
I'd been looking forward to this for a long time, ... It was worth it, super fun.
came final leave points race round
I came to the final round up 80 points and I'm thinking, 'I leave this race up 60 points or up 100 points.' That's huge.
asking believe chance freaked gave good guys joe kept memphis morning pass passed points qualify raining round sleep sunday
I was freaked out. I get nervous, believe me. I kept asking the guys if we got bumped. It was like in '99 at Memphis when we didn't make a good pass in round one and then it started raining and raining. Joe Amato would have passed us in the points if we didn't qualify but NHRA gave us all one more chance Sunday morning and we got in. I got no sleep that night.
career colin good sadder work
I was sadder for the actors than I was for me because when you do good work in this industry, you get more work. Colin got a whole career from it.
battling capable certainly finishing good great liked several time
I would have liked to win, but then there is only so much you can do for it, and this time it was Fernando. I'm certainly not complaining about finishing second. There are several good teams, all of which are capable of battling for the title, and it's great to be one of them.
amazing came circuit decision dry expected faster great incredibly instead job race remember score seeing slippery slow straight team track
Like everyone we expected the track to dry out a lot faster than it did. Instead the track was incredibly slow to dry out. It was amazing how slippery the circuit was, and I can't remember seeing a race like that. We came straight back in and that enabled us to score some points. The team did a great job but we just got one decision wrong.
almost circuit impossible last luckily unless year
Luckily this is a circuit where we know from last year that overtaking is almost impossible unless someone makes a mistake.
car last manage ready time
Last year, we didn't know for a long time if we would manage to get the new car ready in time.
believe came disastrous good happy last leaving people races reason worst
Last year, we came here with some disastrous performance, one of the worst races we had in the year. This year, there is good reason to believe we'll be happy people leaving this place.
So it's actually filmed out here on the street? That's pretty cool.
alan answer basically bet chief compare crew fuel guys obviously pieces top worth
Some crew chief has to be the best. In Top Fuel it's obviously Alan Johnson. I compare it to chess. We all basically have the same pieces and play on the same board, but some guys are just better than others. I can't give you an answer why and I bet Alan can't either. It's just the way it is. He's very expensive, but worth every penny.
